Most depressing quote

[bytor]

Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
- Black Sabbath, Iron Man

Didn't Alan Moore also work with Watchmen? That was another GN...

Joker looks twisted there... But when is he not?

Well, he did write it.

"You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What do ya lose? Nothing!" - Eric Idle

It's actually very optimistic all things considered. It's the best I can do without being cliche and sounding like a pseudo-intellectual nihilistic jerkoff and quote Nietzsche.

"Eternity has no bottom
It is the breath of a dying sun
Exhaling its icy last gasp
Above the pillars of the dark corruption.
Hanging low in the vast nothingness,
Symbol of destiny-mirror of ages.
Eternity is an illusion
Burning quickly away into molecular shadow
There is no measure of it; it's depth in endless
It is in the eyes of all who see.
Elusive, the antithesis of light devours life
And eventually, eternity shall endure
When all else has fallen to myth; and no dream is left to believe
Eternity is a dust, a churning sea of pale dementia
Burying, reaping beneath the ashen shroud of heaven.
Desolate father of all time
Awaits the final breath... and stands a lonely vigil
To greet you in the inevitable darkness once again"

The song is twelve minutes long, but it was more about the atmosphere.

Heh, I listen to that song whenever I need to feel happy.

[SYS]

I completely agree. The song itself is very happy. I just find that little portion if taken out of the context song, can be pretty downer. But only if you give it that perspective. As with anything.

Maybe this thread should have a companion thread titled: Most Uplifting Quotes... Of course then everyone will supply Crack filled hippy quotes and then everyone will break out into "Celebrate Good Times"

Or "Always look on the Bright Side", which would be ironic, in a sense.

some sort of quote that has to do with us hanging around a forum about a 15+ year old game. ;)

Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico:

"The quasi-official Flow Rate Technical Group estimated the oil well was leaking 35,000 to 60,000 barrels (1,500,000 to 2,500,000 US gallons; 5,600 to 9,500 cubic metres) of crude oil per day. This volume is approximately equal to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill every four to seven days."

A friend of mine walked into an undertaker's office to ask for some directions, and while the owner was polite, he told her "See you again soon" as she was leaving.

Also, when my grandmother died, we informed my uncle about it (her older son) and when we told him we already had arranged which undertaker to book, he said "Why you booked [some undertaker]? We usually go to [some other undertaker]". Depressing gaffe.

"People dream of a world without war, yet fail to realize how boring that would be."

A saying by me. Perhaps it will offend someone, but think about it, all humanity does is fight. What will we do when that is gone?
