Her şey bir sürü göz boyamayla dolu pislikten ibaretti.
Eğer tanrı o gece herhangi birimizin yaptıklarını gördüyse, pek de umursamıyor gibiydi.
Watchmen I 2009
Babam bir saatçiydi. Einstein, zamanın göreceli olduğunu keşfettiğinde işini bıraktı.
Stood on firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in the night. Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever, and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hellbound as ourselves; go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.

On Friday night, a comedian died in New York. Someone threw him out of a window and when he hit the sidewalk, his head was driven up into his stomach. Nobody cares. Nobody cares but me.

Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.
Ama işin sonu hep kendim gibi davranıp davranmadığıma gelir. Olduğum yere böyle gelmedim. Ya da kendim olmayacağım durumlara girmedim

Dayanılmaz, kaçınılmaz dehşetlerle yüzleşen ben, nihayet deliliği seçtim.
- Cehenneme git.
- Planım o ama önce yolu tarif etmelisin.
