From Nobody to Nightmare/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.



"I never asked for this

Or planned it in advance

I was merely blown here

By the winds of chance

I never saw myself

As a Solomon or Socrates

I knew who I was:

One of your dime-a-dozen

Mediocrities

Then suddenly I'm here

Respected - worshipped, even

Just because the folks in Oz

Needed someone to believe in"
The Wizard, Wicked
"I believe in them. I was one of them before I turned tiger. They can all turn uncommon if they're kicked awake like I was."
Gully Foyle, The Stars My Destination
"Look at you, Jen. You were a sweet kid. Look at you now. The stuff of nightmares. I don't want my world populated by monsters."
Ganger Cleaves, Doctor Who
"I was just a paper hanger; no-one more obscurer. Got a phone call from the Reichstag, told me I was Führer! Germany was blue, oh, what oh what to do? Hitched up my pants, and conquered France - Now Deutschland's smiling through! And now, it's Springtime For Hitler, And Germany!"
"Turns out, mess with someone's head enough, you can turn a scared little kid into an all powerful bitch."
Jack, Mass Effect 2
