Things to keep in mind while writing this beast...
"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." - (A Hatful of Sky, Terry Pratchett
"I can't do this alone."
"Yes, you can."Yeah, well... I don't want to." - Dean and Sam, Pilot
"- she's trying to reconcile who she's always thought she was with who she really is."
"Is that why I still want to punch her lights outs?" Jane said. "That's wrong, isn't it?""Well, I suppose-"
"I'm a horrible person. My mother is dying of cancer and I want to punch her lights out."Charlie put his arm around his sister's shoulder and started walking her toward the front door so she could go outside and smoke. "Don't be so hard on yourself," he said. "You're doing the same thing, trying to reconcile all the moms that Mom ever was - the one you wanted, the one she was when you needed her and she was there, the one she was when she didn't understand. Most of us don't live our lives with one, integrated self that meets the world, we're a whole bunch of selves. When someone dies, they all integrate into the soul - the essence of who we are, beyond the different faces we wear throughout our lives. You're just hating the selves you've always hated, and loving the ones you've always loved. It's bound to mess you up." - (A Dirty Job, Christopher Moore, pg 209-210)
"Sam was nowhere to be found, and yet created this enormous Sam-shaped hole in every scene, a study in negative space." - big_pink, Notes on Single Wide, Double Yellow
"Psychologically, this is fascinating. Doesn't it make everyone wanna lock them in separate rooms and do experiments on them?"

"Just me then." - Riley Finn, The Replacement
"Aren’t you worried, man, aren’t you worried that I could turn into Max or something?"
"Nope. No way. You know why?""No. Why?"
"‘Cause you’ve got one advantage that Max didn’t have.""Dad? Because Dad’s not here, Dean."
"No. Me. As long as I’m around, nothing bad is gonna happen to you." - Sam and Dean, Nightmares
"A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man" - Joseph Campbell, Hero With a Thousand Faces
"There are obviously many things which we do not understand, and may never be able to." - Leela, Ship Operations AI, UESC Marathon
"Aunt Mary says they have the darkness there
They have the family disease
They have the darkness there in their minds" - Marcy Playground, Saint Joe on the Schoolbus
"I miss the honky-tonks,
Dairy Queens and 7-11s" - Talking Heads, (Nothing But) Flowers
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. " - Terry Pratchett Reaper Man
"The little folk dare anything", said his friend. "And they talk a lot of nonsense. But they talks an awful lot of sense, as well. You listen to 'em at your peril, and you ignore 'em at your peril, too." - Neil Gaiman, Stardust
"History finds a way. The nature of events had changed, but the nature of the dead had not. It had been a mean, shameful little fight that ended them, a flyspecked little footnote of history, but they hadn't been mean or shameful men. They hadn't run, and they could have run with honor. They'd stayed, and he wondered if the path had seemed as clear to them then as it did to him now. They'd stayed not because they wanted to be heroes, but because they choose to think of it as their job, and it was in front of them." - Terry Pratchett, Night Watch
"We are always living in the final days. What have you got? A hundred years or much, much less until the end of your world." - Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise
"American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them." - Neil Gaiman
