Clonehunter Posted July 26, 2010 The most depressing quote I've ever heard is the one down in my sig. To g\really get the emotion, read the Watchmen boook. [Mod edit:]For the vast majority of you who have sigs not shown, here is the quote: "Heard Joke Once. Man goes to Doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatning world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good Joke. Evrybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains." - Rorschach, October 16th, 1985 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted July 26, 2010 "the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blows the government is corrupt and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death the sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles it went like this: the buildings tumbled in on themselves mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair the skyline was beautiful on fire all twisted metal stretching upwards everything washed in a thin orange haze I said: "Kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days" you grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever we woke up one morning and fell a little further down - for sure it's the valley of death I open up my wallet and it's full of blood." The end. :) :) :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Snakes Posted July 26, 2010 Hey, jokes used by Alan Moore! "See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum... and one night, one night they decide they don't like living in an asylum any more. They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says "Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!" B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says "Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!" 0 Share this post Link to post

maggot202 Posted July 26, 2010 I find no point in depressing over something somebody said (or in depressing, for that matter), so i'll offer you with an awesome quote instead: "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds (girls) and fast cars. The rest I just squandered". - George Best, God-like football player and person. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hellbent Posted July 26, 2010 "It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!" 0 Share this post Link to post

The Pursuer Posted July 26, 2010 Related to games "What's happening with video games is the same thing that happens with anything new and interesting. At the beginning, everybody wants to see what it is. They gather around and check it out. But gradually, people start to lose interest. "The people who don't lose interest become more and more involved...And the medium starts to be influenced by only those people. It becomes something exclusive to the people who've stuck with it for a long time. And when the people who were interested in it at first look back at it, it's no longer the thing that interested them." — Shigeru Miyamoto 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted July 26, 2010 I'll contribute a few. Not the most depressing quotes I've heard, but the best I can remember off the top of my head. "Fake Tears bring misery to those around you. Fake smiles bring misery to ones self." - CC from Code Geass I could pull a few others from this series, but they contain spoilers. "I won't take a bath in the same water that Misato and stupid Shinji have used... And I won't use a washer that Misato and Shinji the dork have used, for washing underwear... And I don't want to use a toilet that's been used, not by the two of them... I don't even want to breathe the same air they do, not the two of them. I hate Misato, and I hate Shinji, and I hate that First Child bitch Rei! I hate my dad, I hate my mom! But mostly, most of all, I hate myself! I hate this! I can't stand it anymore! Why do I have to do this! Why me?!" - Asuka, Evangelion 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted July 27, 2010 The sun is burning in the sky Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by In the park the lazy breeze Are joining in the flowers, among the trees And the sun burns in the sky Now the sun is in the West Little kids go home to take their rest And the couples in the park Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark And the sun is in the West Now the sun is sinking low Children playin' know it's time to go High above a spot appears A little blossom blooms and then draws near And the sun is sinking low Now the sun has come to Earth Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death Death comes in a blinding flash Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash And the sun has come to Earth Now the sun has disappeared All is darkness, anger, pain and fear Twisted, sightless wrecks of men Go groping on their knees and cry in pain And the sun has disappeared 0 Share this post Link to post

SyntherAugustus Posted July 27, 2010 I'm doing tech for a play (4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane) that has some rather depressing text. The source of the play is a suicide note. "Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you for rejecting me by never being there, fuck you for making me feel like shit about myself, fuck you for bleeding the fucking love and life out of me, fuck my father for fucking up my life for good and fuck my mother for not leaving him, but most of all, fuck you God for making me love a person who does not exist. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU." 0 Share this post Link to post

Hellbent Posted July 27, 2010 it would be fun if we could vote on the various quotes. the ones i would vote on would be number 1: kafka quote, 2: adam and eve. 3. to some extent, the first quote in OP's sig. None of the others one really did anything for me, as far as having an effect on my mood. @andrewb: I was gonna say it needed less. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted July 27, 2010 "And man is just a child Defective and diseased And I grow so fearful for their kin As I watch the sickness breed Some will find them worthy of salvation But to what end?
