                            This is the world for which you stand.                        You,       alone,       among the dead.

❝ I don't want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? ❞

— John Cavil, Battlestar Galactica

[necroticmusings]

❝ Pretend to be everything you are not : teacher, husband, father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape : You cannot change. You will always be a monster. ❞

                                                              ❝ I know. But I am your monster no longer. ❞

[necroticmusings]

❝ You, your race, invented murder. Invented killing for sport, greed, envy. It’s man’s one true art form. ❞

— Six, Battlestar Galactica

❝ The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time. ❞

— Jeffrey Robbins, Gargoyles

                   Must you humans name everything?                              Nothing's real to you 'til you've named it, given it limits.

              May this weapon strike true.                             May it be wielded with wisdom.                                             May it be put down when its job is done.

            To those before, to those after.                            To us now and to those beyond.                                              Seen or unseen, here but not here.

[necroticmusings]

                         A choice from the Gods                                             is as useless as the Gods themselves.

[necroticmusings]

❝ Do not worry. Do not wait, or look for this catastrophe. Live in the moment. Attend the petty angers and jealousies that fill your heart. Fortify yourself with love and trust. And you need not fear this future. But most of all fulfill the vows of love you make, for they can surely save you. ❞

— Goliath, Gargoyles

[necroticmusings]

❝ We can't hide from the world, we must live in it. We must search for allies, kindred spirits, and sometimes we must take chances, like we did tonight. To do so otherwise is to remain forever alone. ❞

— Goliath, Gargoyles

[necroticmusings]

❝ You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things you’ve created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can’t hide from the things you’ve done anymore. ❞

— William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

[necroticmusings]

❝ Hope and fear and love and hate exist in every one of us. The question is… which one will you choose to let guide your actions? Each choice shapes the world. ❞

— Kratos, God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla

[necroticmusings]

❝ To live meaningful lives, we must die and not return. The one human flaw that you spend your lifetimes distressing over, mortality, is the one thing that makes you whole. ❞

— Six, Battlestar Galactica

                                I would know you no matter what your form.

                                                   Pay a man enough                                           and he'll walk barefoot into Hell.

[necroticmusings]

Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring I promise you, they'll sing of every time

                                      You passed your fingers through my hair and called me child                                       Witness me, old man, I am the wild
