Love plays not fair, it pays no indemnity and takes no prisoners.

Pity wasn't a shame, it was a sign of a decent nature and a sign that there was something wrong in the world that didn't in any way, shape or form reflect badly upon the receiver.

The thing is, motive matters. Doing something horrible because you want to is not the same thing as doing something horrible because it's necessary. Or because you're being forced to.

That’s what cruelty is for, you see. They wouldn’t be content if it didn’t keep hurting.

Бешеных собак отстреливают, их не ловят, чтобы лечить.

Look, reality itself bows down to Naruto. If he thinks there's some good in someone, there will be.

Levi is a jackass trying to crawl into Xanxus ass to live there for the rest of his life.

Ненавижу долги. Берешь чужое и на время, а отдаешь свое и насовсем.

Do I have to mention I don't like Gandalf very much? He couldn't have mentioned the spiders to the Dwarrow? Or that he no doubt was very aware that the damn dragon was still alive? Or why he really wanted it gone and don't get me started on poor unassuming Hobbits being dragged off into mortal danger because the damn wizard is bored >:(
Same blasted thing with Dumbledore! I swear, 90% of the causalities and drama could have been prevented if those two idiots would have just told the damn truth from the start instead of playing mysterious.

"But this!" Bilbo waved at the discarded contract in disgust. "This so-called contract is nothing but a deliberate, premeditated insult to my intelligence. Because, clearly, insulting my appearance and my presumed occupation was not enough. And to think you seethe when Men sneer down their noses at you. I can't imagine why, since the moment you found someone smaller you proceeded to do the exact same thing."

- В чем же оно выражается?
- В ОСТРОТЕ ЛЕЗВИЯ.

Bilbo breathed in slowly, and then breathed out slowly.

“Frodo-child, cover your ears.”

“Why?” Frodo tilted his head, displaying a mess of cake crumbs already smeared all over his face.

“Because Uncle Bilbo is going to say some rather unkind words, and I would prefer you not learn them until your legs are long enough to outrun your grandmother when she tries to pinch your ear for saying them.”

Покупать легко. Трудно только платить.

Жизнь — смертельная болезнь, передающаяся половым путем.

This Dumbledore guy is—yeah, a little of that, Renji had a point, but I don’t think he’s actually that far gone. No, he’s one of these old guys who’s seen a lot of shit and so he thinks he knows everything about everything—you know the type. Manipulative, too. Weird cross between Urahara-san and Yamamoto, basically.

Поздравлять ученика или учителя 1 сентября с Днем Знаний равносильно, что поздравить лошадь с началом весенне-полевых работ.

Sex is like fighting: clears the mind, relaxes the muscles and, if you don’t die, leaves a nice afterglow.

"The Slut-That-Must-Not-Be-Named."

"A wizard is always precisely where he is meant to be."

"Always appearing at the worst of times, you mean. Like bad smells, taxes and unwelcome relatives."

Reborn smirked. "I'll catch a ride north tomorrow."
"In that case, I might wait two days," Colonnello said. "I'm in the middle of something."
"Sorting your sock collection?" Reborn asked. "Giving names to each and every bullet you possess?"
