"My evil plan is going perfectly, but I'm definately not a villain" -- Dr. Alex Brisbane
'My teeth fell out again. The holes scream when I sleep.'
That's from a little flash game on Newgrounds called Time Fcuk. There's a weird undercurrent of..tumour..to that game. It;s hard to explain until you've played it.
It's annoying, because I know I have dozens of unsettling quotes from various sources, but I never seem to be able to recall them when the opportunity arises.

I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream was never published as a book. It was first published in the March 1967 issue of IF: Worlds of Science Fiction. And then used as a title for a collection of Ellison's stories, before finally being both a pdf and reprint in American Fantastic Tales volume 2.
That means...
The Cake is a Lie.
"Evil is always possible, but good is eternally difficult."
And the words that ended up sucking me into The Wheel of Time series:
"Ten years, Betrayer. Ten years your foul master has wracked the world. And now this. I will--"
"Ten years! You pitiful fool! This war has not lasted ten years, but since the beginning of time. You and I have fought a thousand battles with the turning of the Wheel, a thousand times a thousand, and we will fight until time dies and the Shadow is triumphant!"
And even if it's a little pretentious, I have to include it:
"Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch'intrate" The final line in the inscription over the gates of hell, "Abandon every hope, all you who enter"

"Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers. Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live...forever."
"What man is a man who does not make the world better?"
Long and one of my favorites:
"None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A King may move a man, a father may claim a son. That man can also move himself. And only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say 'but I was told by others to do thus' or that 'virtue was not convenient at the time.' This will not suffice. Remember that."

Fantastic quotes. From the same series, entirely because of the scene following it "Toy do you remember Hawkwing's face?" In my opinion Matt is the second most compelling character in that series, Egwene being the first.DivineBeastLink said:

'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never." ~ Lucifer
"I don't know. Death's a funny thing. I used to think it was a big, sudden thing, like a huge owl that would swoop down out of the night and carry you off. I don't anymore. I think it's a slow thing. Like a thief who comes to your house day after day, taking a little thing here and a little thing there, and one day you walk round your house and there's nothing there to keep you, nothing to make you want to stay. And then you lie down and shut up forever. Lots of little deaths until the last big one." ~ Hob Gadling
