“Mephistopheles: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?”
― Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus

“No, it鈥檚 not fair, but what makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You鈥檒l find out for yourself soon enough. It won鈥檛 help the situation for you to get all upset.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“The most thoroughly and relentlessly damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignored, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all 'Damned Things' is the individual human being. The social engineers, statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this 'Damned Thing' into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the 'Damned Thing' will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. The psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the 'Damned Thing' will not fit into their slots.”
― Robert Anton Wilson

“In saving Tamlin, I was to damn myself.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“Help me give up my addiction to Hope.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“Hope is something really tough and tenacious you have to give up. It鈥檚 an addiction to break.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“How miserably hypocritical, you might say, but no sooner am I offered a chance to flee Hell than I yearn to stay. Few families hold their relations as closely as do prisons. Few marriages sustain the high level of passion that exists between criminals and those who seek to bring them to justice. It鈥檚 no wonder the Zodiac Killer flirted so relentlessly with the police. Or that Jack the Ripper courted and baited detectives with his - or her - coy letters. We all wish to be pursued. We all long to be desired.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“All the demons of Hell formerly reigned as gods in previous cultures. No it's not fair, but one man's god is another man's devil. As each subsequent civilization became a dominant power, among its first acts was to depose and demonize whoever the previous culture had worshipped. The Jews attacked Belial, the god of the Babylonians. The Christians banished Pan and Loki anda Mars, the respective deities of the ancient Greeks and Celts and Romans. The Anglican British banned belief in the Australian aboriginal spirits known as the Mimi. Satan is depicted with cloven hooves because Pan had them, and he carries a pitchfork based on the trident carried by Neptune. As each deity was deposed, it was relegated to Hell. For gods so long accustomed to receiving tribute and loving attention, of course this status shift put them into a foul mood.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“For what can the damned really have to say to the damned?”
― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

“You鈥檝e thrown down the gauntlet. You鈥檝e brought my wrath down upon your house. Now, to prove that I exist I must kill you. As the child outlives the father, so must the character bury the author. If you are, in fact, my continuing author, then killing you will end my existence as well. Small loss. Such a life, as your puppet, is not worth living.
But鈥� If I destroy you and your dreck script, and I still exist鈥� then my existence will be glorious, for I will become my own master.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“I can't change what's happened to me in my life, or make what's not occurred take place. But I can't say I like it, or accept it, or believe it's for the best. I don't and never shall, not even if I'm damned for it.”
― Margaret Laurence, The Stone Angel

“I鈥檓 a monster. You鈥檙e a monster. We鈥檙e all fucking inhuman monsters, and we don鈥檛 see a damned thing wrong with it.”
― John Scalzi, Old Man's War

“Trust me, the being-dead part is much easier than the dying part. If you can watch much television, then being dead will be a cinch. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

“They placed their bets with such self righteous bravado, but I鈥檓 the one who lost.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“They can stop a river by building a dam, but I will be damned if they can stop my river of blood flowing through my veins and heart.”
― Anthony Liccione

“My father was cursed," James said from the darkness. "Whereas I? I'm damned.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“Therefore, when we neglect to fear such a brittle monstrosity, we render it powerless.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“Damned be the dark ends of the earth where old horrors live again.”
― Robert E. Howard, The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard

“Man was born damned and innocent from the start, and wretchedly - as he must - on those two themes - whistles his tune.”
― Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

“Not to be too dramatic about it, that night I slept the sleep of the damned. I dreamt of turrets and craggy ledges where the windswept rain blew in from the ocean with the odor of violets. A pale woman in Elizabethan dress stood beside my bed and whispered in my ear that the bells would ring. An old salt in an oilcloth jacket sat atop a piling, mending nets with an awl, while far out at sea a tine aeroplane winged its way towards the setting sun.”
― Alan Bradley

“Meine kleinkarierte Angst vor pers枚nlicher Zur眉ckweisung erlaubt so vielem wahren B枚sen zu existieren. Meine Feigheit erm枚glicht Greueltaten.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“Ich bin voller Zuversicht und Entschlossenheit und verf眉ge 眉ber einen freien Willen 鈥� zumindest nehme ich das an 鈥�”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

“Sometimes, she felt like both of them were damned no matter what they did, good or bad. That any choice they made led to ruin. But she couldn't let herself think that way. There's always a way to victory. Always a path to survival. Maybe it was ugly and painted in blood and grief, but it was there. She believed it. She had to believe it."
鈥g.199 - Nita's thoughts”
― Rebecca Schaeffer, When Villains Rise

“I never wanted to be a god, he thought. I wanted only to disappear like a jewel of trace dew caught by the morning. I wanted to escape the angels and the damned - alone. . . as though by an oversight.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“I鈥檒l be damned if I am getting trapped in another borough of this city!”
― Jason Medina, The Manhattanville Incident: An Undead Novel

“Don't ask me for names. In this damned place all names are damned, and besides none of the maps know them. Here the earth devours itself. I don't imagine a fissure at the bottom of the ravine, I imagine a mouth!”
― Jos茅 Eduardo Agualusa, Na莽茫o Crioula

“So there had better be a good damned reason for [war], because even if it is good, it is still damned.”
― Michael Flynn, The January Dancer

“Me? Now? I...I'm damned. By God. Literally. I'm damned by God. I'm goddamned. Y'know what I'm saying?”
― Phillip Andrew Bennett Low, Monsters in a Mirror: Strange Tales from the Chapel Perilous

“Every ideology is a mental murder, a reduction of dynamic living processes to static classifications, and every classification is a Damnation, just as every inclusion is an exclusion. In a busy, buzzing universe where no two snow flakes are identical, and no two trees are identical, and no two people are identical- and, indeed, the smallest sub-atomic particle, we are assured, is not even identical with itself from one microsecond to the next- every card-index system is a delusion. 鈥淥r, to put it more charitably,鈥� as Nietzsche says, 鈥渨e are all better artists than we realize.鈥� It is easy to see that label 鈥淛ew鈥� was a Damnation in Nazi Germany, but actually the label 鈥淛ew鈥� is a Damnation anywhere, even where anti-Semitism does not exist. 鈥淗e is a Jew,鈥� 鈥淗e is a doctor,鈥� and 鈥淗e is a poet鈥� mean, to the card indexing centre of the cortex, that my experience with him will be like my experience with other Jews, other doctors, and other poets. Thus, individuality is ignored when identity is asserted. At a party or any place where strangers meet, watch this mechanism in action. Behind the friendly overtures there is wariness as each person fishes for the label that will identify and Damn the other. Finally, it is revealed: 鈥淥h, he鈥檚 an advertising copywriter,鈥� 鈥淥h, he鈥檚 an engine-lathe operator.鈥� Both parties relax, for now they know how to behave, what roles to play in the game. Ninety-nine percent of each has been Damned; the other is reacting to the 1 percent that has been labeled by the card-index machine.”
― Robert Anton Wilson, The Illuminatus! Trilogy

“You're wasting your last words,' said Archer. 'I'm already damned.”
― Stephanie Garber, A Curse for True Love
