“Yeah, [Rorschach’s] crazy. So what?”

Grant “wallflower” Nebel, The Solute

“Even the lies?”
“Especially the lies.”

Dr Bashir and Garak, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

“In the end? Nothing ever ends, Adrian.”

Jon “Dr Manhattan” Osterman, Watchmen

“I don’t trust those memories now.”
“Whether you trust them or not, they led you here.”

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, The X-Files

“Hey, I’m just telling you the truth. You do whatever you want with it.”

Vic Mackey, The Shield

“I don’t expect him to be anything other than what he is.”

Peggy Olsen, Mad Men

“And if my thought-dreams / Could be seen / They’d probably put my head / In a guillotine / But it’s alright, Ma / It’s life and life only”

“Porn is the main way we know what gay people were doing, thinking, and feeling in the Sixties and Seventies. It was the only regular, mass, unfiltered artistic expression afforded to them. The filler before the sex showed bar-hopping, morning routines, and relationships from all different points of view and styles.”

Julius Kassendorf, The Solute (heavily paraphrased from memory)
