If you look Supernatural I would recommend you Hellblazer, the comics (or constantine but there's only one season). Supernatural is based on this (it took the famous coat for example) and it's pretty good.
I've been binge watching Supernatural, so probably all these quotes are from that.
"This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in… more a galaxy that's barely out of it's diapers ... So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you." - Haha, yeah. This is said by Death lmao.
"I don't know. I just looked at her in the eyes and told her it wasn't her fault that her father Gene ran off. It was because he hated his job at the post office." - This is said by Castiel, an Angel in human form who has no sense of social skills, to Dean just after going into a private room with a stripper who freaked and ran out on him. (Long story, I guess.)
"Your problem is that nobody hates you more than you do." - Hey Crowley, nice quote.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
I have not read the book this quote is from (Infinite Jest), but I still like this quote from it that I heard elsewhere:
“If, by the virtue of charity or the circumstance of desperation, you ever chance to spend a little time around a Substance-recovery halfway facility like Enfield MA's state-funded Ennet House, you will acquire many exotic new facts [...] That certain persons simply will not like you no matter what you do. Then that most nonaddicted adult civilians have already absorbed and accepted this fact, often rather early on [...] That sleeping can be a form of emotional escape and can with sustained effort be abused [...] That purposeful sleep-deprivation can also be an abusable escape. That gambling can be an abusable escape, too, and work, shopping, and shoplifting, and sex, and abstention, and masturbation, and food, and exercise, and meditation/prayer [...] That loneliness is not a function of solitude [...] That if enough people in a silent room are drinking coffee it is possible to make out the sound of steam coming off the coffee. That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like, hurt [...] That there is such a thing as raw, unalloyed, agendaless kindness [...] That the effects of too many cups of coffee are in no way pleasant or intoxicating [...] That if you do something nice for somebody in secret, anonymously, without letting the person you did it for know it was you or anybody else know what it was you did or in any way or form trying to get credit for it, it's almost its own form of intoxicating buzz.
That anonymous generosity, too, can be abused [...]
That it is permissible to want [...]
That there might not be angels, but there are people who might as well be angels.”
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us. - Samuel Smiles
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. - Lao Tzu
We need to realize that our path to transformation is through our mistakes. We're meant to make mistakes, recognize them, and move on to become unlimited. -Yehuda Berg
(jokingly) "No shirt, no shoes, no salvation" - My (ex) Pastor, when mocking the priorities that (sadly) many churches hold.
"In a closed society where everyone is guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity". - Hunter S. Thompson
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity". - Albert Einstein
"Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals". - Colman McCarthy
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country". - George S. Paton
"I intend to live forever. So far, so good" - Steven Wright
Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". - Dr. Robert Oppenheimer
Books:
" it may help to understand affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people". - Good Omens
Without individuals we see only numbers: a thousand dead, a hundred thousand dead, "casualties may rise to a million". With individual stories, the statistics become people. But even that is a lie, for the people continue to suffer in numbers that themselves are numbing and meaningless. Look, see the child's swollen, swollen belly, and the flies that crawl at the corners of his eyes, his skeletal limbs: will it make it easier for you to know his name, his age, his dreams, his fears? To see him from the inside? And if it does, are we not doing a disservice to his sister, who lies in the searing dust beside him, a distorted, caricature of a human child? And there, if we feel for them, are they now more important than a thousand other children touched by the same famine, a thousand other young lives, who will soon be food for the flies' own myriad squirming Children?". - American Gods
“You never really know what's coming. A small wave, or maybe a big one. All you can really do is hope that when it comes, you can surf over it, instead of drown in its monstrosity.”
― Alysha Speer
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” - Sydney Carton (Charles Dickens)
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” - Sydney Carton (Charles Dickens)
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
It's a pretty good quote. Good ending. I'm not surprised you picked this though, considering you have that essay.
Speaking of that essay,… more
Spon-HiggsBoson2142, you and I both know that you're just choosing me as a distraction so you don't have to write your essay.
I believe that one can be attributed to Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket. He says "unscrew" not "rip off," but that's probably where they got it from.
