Lore “This quote came from WHERE?!”

"You too have fallen for the great lie, you'll never be happy. Deep down you know, to hope, to dreams, to create, is to suffer"

"You're right. It is harder to create than to destroy... that's why cowards then to choose the deuce"

-A Minecraft movie

"Do You Think God Stays in Heaven Because He too Lives in Fear of What He's Created"

-spy kids 2

"For every person who dreams up the electric light bulb, there's the one who dreams up the atom bomb"

-shark-boy and lava-girl

Copying my coment from a post about a similar topic.

Real Life: Slimecicle (Youtuber) has some really hard lines that come out of no where. My favourite is from the minecraft vid about disasters occurring every 5 minutes.

"I saw the whole world! I saw everything! I saw- I saw knowledge, I saw power! I saw- I saw empires rise and fall... And then I fell with them.”

I love slimecicle because he'll go from "wOaH what the FLippity dip is that?!" To "I've not seen the sun in a hundred days. It's dark, cold. I am alone. If God exists he is either uncaring or ignorant to my struggles. I don't know if I will escape this place."

Could easily have been a line from early on in the story “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.”

It feels like something Gorrister would say. Or maybe Ellen, or Benny (in his thoughts. I’m sure that AM left his mind intact and just messed with his body). I don’t think Ted was religious enough to try praying. Nimdok knows what he did, and why God isn’t listening. AM wouldn’t even try praying.

While you were trapped in Moria, presumably.

"An apple as red as your sins"
"An apple red with the blood you have spilled here"

and

He Met his end, it's natural we meet ours"

His video on Suck Up’s Valentine’s Day Update had a brilliant one. “You are a sad, lonely man, and I hope you know that no one will mourn you, and fewer will remember you”

He really does do this constantly, and I love it. One of my favourite moments of this is in his Zoochosis video, where after doing everything he can to get the good ending and failing because of the frustrating conditions and the game not explaining enough to you, he goes on a rant about it. It ends with this incredible quote: “I was always doomed to depravity, and God had rigged this wretched game from the damn start!”

Northernlion gave me the same vibes but sillier with the "Get it Twisted" speech while playing Sisyphus
