{{quote| ''For seventeen long centuries have I remained in this blade, confined within these metal walls. During all my imprisonment you are the first I have seen who is worthy to bear me into battle. Come, take my hilt, and I will serve you in the manner of my kind, drawing the blood of your enemies, protecting you in the midst of the fight, bringing you safe home again. Now draw me from the scabbard and test the fitness of my balance. See how easily I swing, how my keen edge cleaves the air. A good choice, am I not?''}}
 
{{quote|''Willingly you picked me up. Your first mistake. Willingly you drew me. Your second mistake. I do not allow my servants to make three mistakes, foolish mortal...''|'''A Daemon Weapon''' from ''Slaves to Darkness,'' '''[[Warhammer 40000]]'''}}
 
{{quote|''Death stands above me, whispering low<br />
I know not what in my ear.<br />
Of his strange language all I know<br />
There is only pain and fear''|''The Dogma Omniastra'', '''[[Warhammer 40000]]'''}}

{{quote|''And so, once again, we find that the evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap waxed paper!''|'''[[The Tick]]'''}}
 
{{quote|''We try not think about the scariest one of them all. The gigantic, half dragon, half octopus, half humanoid Great Old One himself: Cthulhu! Waiting to return from his city beneath the sea!<br />
Who day & night must slumber in R'lyeh?<br />
Wave his tentacles, having nasty dreams<br />
And who has the might, as master of R'lyeh<br />
To drive humanity insane?<br />
CTHULHU!!! Cthulhu!<br />
Tentacles!<br />
'''CTHULHU'''!!! Cthulhu!<br />
'''TENTACLES'''!!!''|''A [[H.P. Lovecraft|Shoggoth]] [[Fiddler On the Roof|On The Roof]]''.}}
 
{{quote|''The ninth was strong and fought with might,<br />
But lone Orannis was put from the light.<br />
Broken in two and buried under hill,<br />
Forever to lie there, wishing us ill.''|''Lirael'', '''[[Old Kingdom]]'''}}
 
{{quote|''"[[Ancient Greece|The Ancient Greeks]] foretold of a terrible container in which were housed all the evils of the world. How prophetic they were. All they got wrong was the name - they called it [[Classical Mythology|Pandoras Box]], when of course they meant... [[Bumbling Sidekick|Baldrick's]] [[The Pig Pen|trousers.]]"''|'''Edmund Blackadder''', ''[[Blackadder]] the Third''}}
 
{{quote|'''Teysa''': Hello, Pazapatru. How are you?<br />
'''Pazapatru''': Teysa. I am well and look forward to my freedom in precisely 2,281 years, nine months, eleven days, two hours, forty-four minutes, and... ten seconds. On that day I will destroy you all.<br />
'''Teysa''': I don't doubt you will, but I hope to be a ghost by then.<br />
'''Pazapatru''': That would be wise.|''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]: Guildpact''}}
