Field on fire

life turns on a dime. sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?

a person who doesn’t learn from the past is an idiot, in my estimation.

when all else fails, give up and go to the library.

sarcastic people tend to be marshmallows underneath the armor. i’m no different.

the multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.

the devil’s voice is sweet.

sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story’s just a story.

humans were built to look back; that’s why we have that swivel joint in our necks.

in 1958, there’s always smoke.

we never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.

i’m one of those people who doesn’t really know what he thinks until he writes it down.

i’m crazy. crazy and having a terribly involved hallucination in a mental hospital somewhere. perhaps some doctor will write me up for a psychiatric journal.

hearts don’t really break. if only they could.

yeah, but what if you went back and killed your own grandfather?

why the fuck would you do that?

stupidity is one of the two things we see most clearly in retrospect. the other is missed chances.

when you hide the truth from someone, you deny them their dignity.

we have been given pain to be astounded by joy.

we have been given life to deny death.

we did not ask for this room or this music. but because we are here, let us dance.

if there is love, smallpox scars are as pretty as dimples.

i’ll love your face no matter what it looks like. because it’s yours.

i know life is hard, i think everyone knows that in their hearts, but why dos it have to be cruel, as well? why does it have to bite?

i was no longer walking around the house of cards; i was living in it.

like all sweet dreams, it will be brief, but brevity makes sweetness, doesn’t it?

explanations are such cheap poetry.

on the subject of love at first sight, i’m with the Beatles: i believe that it happens all the time.

when you put on a clown suit and a rubber nose, nobody has any idea what you look like inside.

things do happen for a reason, but do we like the reason? rarely.

for most of us, i think it’s easier to admit doing wrong than being stupid.

sometimes life coughs up coincidences no writer of fiction would dare copy.

life’s simplest answers are often the easiest to overlook.

do i know what people say? sure.

i know your mother lives in your head – almost everyone’s mother does, i guess – but you can’t let her have her way on this one.

don’t look back, never look back.

❛ You have reached Ritual Sacrifice. For goats, press 1 or say “goats”. ❜

❛ To sacrifice a loved one or pet, press the pound key. ❜

❛ Your run-on sentences have got a lot less pointless. ❜

❛ That’s why you’re going to loose. Because we possess the most powerful thing in the world: conviction. ❜

❛ I need to you initial here concerning your immortal soul. ❜

❛ News flash. You’re not cute when I’m angry. ❜

❛ He was fired. Oh, no, I’m sorry. He was set on fire. ❜

❛ A little tip. Try not to talk about things you don’t understand. ❜

❛ I don’t want to go. But it’s like, it’s like the ground underneath me is splitting open and my legs are straddling both sides of this bloody big chasm. It’s getting bigger. Pulling me in. ❜

❛ I know what’s down there, where it’s trying to take me. And it’s not the place heroes go. Not by a bloody long shot. It’s the other one. Full of fire and torment. And it’s happening. And I’m terrified… ❜

❛ How do you live with it? Knowing that you’ve killed people? ❜

❛ You don’t ever think about letting go? Disappearing somewhere? ❜

❛ If you separate yourself from the ones you love, the monster wins. ❜

❛ Is this the part where I say “who’s there?’ and something creepy happens? ❜

❛ I do deserve to go to Hell, but not today. ❜

❛ You think any of it matters? The things we did? The lives we destroyed. That’s all that’s ever gonna count. ❜

❛ So that’s it then. I really am going to burn. ❜

❛ Never much for small talk, were you? Always too busy trying to perfect that brooding block of wood mystique. God, I love that. ❜

❛ In my day, no self-respecting creature of the night went out on All Hallow’s Eve. ❜

❛ I’m busy. I’m brooding. ❜

❛ Hey, you want a piece of me, buddy? That’s right, keep walking. You walk alone! ❜

❛ Stop trying to be all valiant. You’re coming off like a self-pitying child. ❜

❛ Wow, turned on by a woman holding an enormous gun. What a surprise. ❜

❛ You never had any use for me as a child, and you can’t bear the thought of me as an adult. ❜

❛ Tell me, what is it that galls you so? That I was never as good at the job as you, or that I might be better? ❜

❛ If you’re here to tell me about how you killed your parents, perhaps it could wait for another time? ❜

❛ Is that what you think you are, a hero? ❜

❛ You never knew the real me. Too busy tryin’ to see your own reflection, praying there was someone as disgusting as you in the world, so you could stand to live with yourself. ❜

❛ Take a long look, hero. I’m nothing like you. ❜

❛ You made me a monster. ❜

❛ There’s no belonging or deserving anymore. You can take what you want, have what you want… but nothing is yours. ❜

❛ If you don’t kill, we won’t kill you. ❜

❛ Everything hurts, and then we die. Or in your case, everything hurts and… then you go on… and on… ❜

❛ Y'know, when you say it out loud it sounds really naïve. ❜

❛ Get a cab, you moron, and on the way, if a stranger offers you candy, don’t get in the van! ❜

❛ You’re empty. There’s nothing left. Just a shell. ❜

❛ Is pathological idiot an actual condition? ❜

❛ I never did think that much about the nature of evil. No. Just threw myself in. ❜

❛ I liked the rush, I liked the crunch. Never did look back at the victims. ❜

❛ I don’t mind torturing her for the team. ❜

❛ Doesn’t matter what you try. Doesn’t matter where I am or how badass you think you’ve become. ‘Cause you know what? I beat the bad guys. ❜

❛ I really do fall for dumb ones. ❜

❛ You know how you’re always trying to save, oh, every single person in the world? Did it ever occur to you: you are one of them? ❜

❛ I naturally assumed you’d be lost without me, but this? ❜

❛ You’ll win this in the end. I just wish I could be there to see it. ❜

❛ I can’t stay. This isn’t me anymore. ❜

❛ We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it. ❜

❛ Don’t ever go to a “free virgin blood party”. Turns out, it’s probably a trap. ❜

❛ I can keep it together, I can even handle dying, if I know it’s for a greater purpose. ❜

❛ Killing them’s not going to change the past. ❜

❛ We all need a reason to live, even if we’re already dead. ❜

❛ The vampire thing’s kinda sexy. ❜

❛ If cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win? ❜

❛ Are you saying we should start annoying other people? ❜

❛ You wanna kill me. Try. I don’t have time for your quirks. ❜

❛ There’s a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known. ❜

❛ I walk with heroes. Think about that. ❜

❛ Would you have loved me? ❜

❛ I’ve loved you since I’ve known you. No, that’s not-I think maybe even before. ❜

❛ I’m not scared. Please. Why can’t I stay? ❜

❛ The girl of your dreams loved you. That’s more than most people ever get. ❜

❛ I avoided the major organs. He’ll probably live. ❜

❛ We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? ❜

❛ There’s hope that you’ll find something worthy. That your life will lead you to some joy. That after everything, you can still be surprised. ❜

❛ Look around. The world’s a cesspool, filled with selfish and greedy beasts. We live. We die. ❜

❛ Right, we need to set some ground rules. First off, no more punching me in the face! ❜

❛ You almost broke that guy in half! That was awesome! ❜

❛ These prophecies are turning out to be pretty overrated. ❜

❛ This whole fighting thing, I’m not… I’m not really sure it’s for me. ❜

❛ You gotta do what you can to protect your family. ❜

❛ I stabbed you. I should apologize for that, but I’m honestly not sure how. I think it’ll just be awkward. ❜

❛ My God, the speechifying! Has it ever occurred to you that right now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories! ❜

❛ I’d claw my way back from the depths of hell to lay by your side. ❜

❛ Darling. It was just fornication. Really great fornication. ❜

❛ Let’s have a bath so the boys can weep in private. ❜

❛ You know, an ant with the best intentions or the most diabolical schemes is just exactly an ant. ❜

❛ Heroes don’t accept the world the way it is. They fight it. ❜

❛ About time we got our hands dirty. ❜

❛ For one bright shiny moment we can show them that they don’t own us! You need to decide for yourselves if that’s worth dying for. ❜

❛ Kill ‘em all. Burn the house down while we’re still in it. ❜

❛ We’re all one big happy Manson family. ❜

❛ I don’t remember what it was like. Being human. It was too long ago. ❜

❛ They’re all gone. Now it’s time you followed. ❜

❛ Let me say this as clearly as I can. You cannot beat me. ❜

❛ You don’t really think you’re gonna win this, do you? You don’t stand a chance. ❜

❛ People like you, who don’t care about anyone or anything, will never understand the people who do. ❜

❛ You drop by for a cup of coffee and the world’s not ending? Please! ❜

❛ Would you like me to lie to you now? ❜

❛ I wish to do more violence. ❜
