Misc. TV

These are all TV Shows that I feel need more quotes before they can have their own separate entry. Hopefully most of them will get their day. Until then....

***Alphas***

S1E11

Gary- "Yeah Bill, I am in charge when no one else is here."

Stanton Parish- "Society's acceptance is a prison disguised as a palace."

***American Horror Story***

S5E5

Liz- "You see everything when the world doesn't see you."

The Countess- "We have two selves. One the world needs us to be: compliant. 
And the shadow. Ignore it and life is forever suffering"

***Arrow***

S9E7

Oliver- Thea, I don't have the right to be mad at anyone for keeping secrets. But I'm sorry that I made you feel as though you had to.

***Constantine***

S1E7

Manny- "What's it like? Pain."

Imogen- "It comes in waves. You feel helpless. You can't fight it. It becomes about making it to the other side, shrinking your world down to one fine point. When that wave melts away, you feel relief. Just for a moment, till it comes back to remind you."

***Doctor Who***

S9E7

Kate- "You left us in an impossible situation, Doctor."

Capaldi- "Yes, I know. It's called peace."

***Game of Thrones***

S6E4

High Sparrow- "It was all part of a story. A story I was telling myself about who I was. A collection of lies that would disappear in the light."

***Once Upon a Time***

S4E19

Corella- "Enjoy the upper hand while it's still on your wrist."

***The Player***

S1E2

Alex- "No more hypocrites on hills sending us to die and 
then resenting us when we don't."

Continuum (TV)

This is a fabulous economic/political satire. It's an action packed future meets cop drama with insane technology and unexpected plot twists. Do give it a try.

S2E3

Alec- "There's free will, Kiera. If you don't believe in that, then what are any of us doing?"

S2E9

Kiera- "Every monster starts off as someone's baby"

S3E2

Jason- "Don't catch a cold. That's what mothers say. Except you don't really catch a cold. 

A cold catches you. You're just standing there."

Candide by Voltaire

 (quotes included from the Candide Appreciation by Andre Maurois)

“I have left abundance where there was want before. True—only by ruining myself. But a man could not ruin himself in a more decent cause.”
   
“I am tired of hearing it declared that twelve men sufficed to establish Christianity, and I want to prove to them that it only needs one to destroy it.”
   
“What was the vile thing? Religion? The Church? To be more exact, it was Superstition. He hounded it down because he had suffered from it and because he believed that bigotry makes men more unhappy than they need to be.”
   
"The only book that should be read is the great book of nature.”
   
“I’ve wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but I still love life. That ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most pernicious inclinations. What could be more stupid than to persist in carrying a burden that we constantly want to cast off, to hold our existence in horror, yet cling to it nonetheless, to fondle the serpent that devours us, until it has eaten our heart?”

~

'“Do you believe that men have always slaughtered each other as they do today, that they’ve always been liars, cheats, traitors, ingrates and thieves, weak, fickle, cowardly, envious, greedy, drunken, miserly, ambitious, bloodthirsty, slanderous, lecherous, fanatical, hypocritical and foolish?”

“Do you believe that hawks have always eaten pigeons when they find them?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Well, then, if hawks have always had the same character, what makes you think men may have changed theirs?”'

Night World Series (pt 2) by L.J. Smith

***The Chosen***

“The night has a thousand eyes and the day only one.”

“They had to do something to deaden the pain…even if that meant embracing the pain. They escaped one darkness by going into another.”

***Soulmate***

“The world was changing around her, and it was the most disorienting thing she’d ever experienced. It was as if the fabric of her universe was actually moving—pulsing and shifting to accommodate the new truths.”

“At least I know I’m not crazy. . . That’s some consolation. It’s the universe that’s insane, not me.” 

“Love spilled from her and into [him] and back again. The more she gave, the more she got back. It was a cycle, taking them higher and higher.” 

Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare

***City of Glass***

“Because what was the point in crying when there was no one there to comfort you? And what was worse, when you couldn’t even comfort yourself?”

“She wondered why she’d ever thought trusting someone who wore that much eye liner was a good idea.”

“You couldn’t erase everything that caused you pain with its recollection. Every memory was valuable; even the bad ones” Fav

“He had wanted to think only of what made Shadowhunters different than Downworlders. But what had been his undoing had been the way in which they were all the same.” Fav
