Lines I Want to Use Someday
5 years ago
"Pleasure is a prison perhaps more horrifying than Sorrow; for it is the only prison that needs no warden."
"I can think of few fates that haunt me more than being pulled from the depths of Terror by an avenging angel, only to find it wears the garments of Fury."
"Hunger is the weakest and strongest of all our base emotions, for it needs no more than to exist. All other emotions can surpass it in the moment, but when all becomes nothing, the only thing that remains is Hunger."
"Life without love is torture and death without honor is damnation; though to presume you are entitled to both is mortal folly."
"Those who use prophecy over and over again seek to hear the end of a tale, but never anything of the circumstances of that end. I tell you this, my son: that to only hear the end of a tale is to squander all of its strength, its weight. To lose sight of what makes the ending worth hearing: the story itself.
"My...old friend used to talk about honor. Duty. Love. He's a slave to a Thing he regards as a god. But us! We know the truth! And I know you'll never unlearn what I gave you. So go - tell him the truth and see his reaction. That'll tell you everything you need to know."
"Worlds taken, warriors slain, gods I've watched die; all of it is moot. The only thing that can truly measure how much I'm worth is how much I love you - and there is too much for me to bear."
"Yeah, I've got faith - faith in my stockholders to fold like a house of cards. I've got faith that my best friend will come to save me, specifically to say he told me so. I've got faith in the credit, and faith in gold when it fails. I don't need faith in gods or demons."
Yeah, yeah. I know this a bunch of r/iam14andthisisverydeep type content, and it is totally cringe. BUT I also want to see if it would sound better in context, and I need to remember it somehow.
