I thought it will be nice to find out what quotes people use and to adopt one. Tell us about your favorite quotes - from "Sisters of Mercy" till whatever new Darkwave group you like.
I'll start: "Are you listening to your fear?"

P.S. sorry if such thread already exists (give a link)...

---"Loneliness sometimes gives me a quantity of creativeness - you're drinking another glass of wine and you're feeling even worse. Art doesn't work without pain; art also exists for compensating pain." - Till Lindemann
---"Evil is a point of view." - Anne Rice
---"Man cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen." - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
---"Art is the single seed that either feeds or destroys the world. Art is God." - Clown

Just a few that jumped out at me/have been with me for a while.

---"Evil is a point of view." - Anne Rice

I like that the most . Anybody else?

"Death is a mystery and burial is a secret." -Stephen King

I think the entire first Sopor Aeternus interview is like one big gothic quote

Anyways, Anna has doozies of them, as does Rozz.

I'll post them when I sift through them......

"....tell me what dreams may come....."

-Carl McCoy, Fields of the Nephilim

Just thought I'd add that Carl McCoy apparently owes a lot to my favorite quote maker:



--William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, scene 1

Oh! You've made me remember this:

"Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And guilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly doctor-like controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone."
Shakespeare - Sonnet 66.

I find myself constantly chanting "Don't feel no contamination", which is one of the lyrics from the song Preacher Man. I don't think that would really classify as a 'Gothic' quote though.

Poe has bunches of quotes that fit the term (obviously ), but that little part of The Raven "....only this and nothing more..." stands out to me for some reason. Hmm, I may put that as my Myspace headline.

"From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view. "

Alone by Edgar Allan Poe

I love the Sopor Aeternus version of this.

"There's no sanity standing me back on my feet." - Chrisian Death (Rozz)

"Here the flies always sing" - Deadfly Ensemble (At least, I think it is.. it might have been Cinema Strange.. both are Lanthier projects so it doesn't really matter.)

"Drive my rocket up Uranus, Bab-eh" - Alien Sex Fiend

"When devils will the blackest sins put on, They do suggest at first with heavenly shows."
- Othello, SHakespeare

"Goths have more fun!" - Emilie Autumn

"Wow. I think we just got put in our place." "Yeah. We just got goth-served." - Goth Kids from South Park

Would you look at that?
