Picture
"Later he forced himself into the kitchen to grind up the five-day accumulation
of garbage in the sink.  He knew he should burn up the paper plates and utensils
too, and dust the furniture and wash out the sinks and the bathtub and toilet,
and change the sheets and pillowcase on his bed; but he didn't feel like it. 
For he was a man and he was alone and these things had no importance to him."
- I Am Legend (book by Richard Matheson)

"I find myself within his eyes.
I long for more myself to know.
He hears it seems my silent cries,
And makes my heart my reasons foe.
How can this be to love so quickly?
Love does not wait is his reply.
What magic weeaves his touch to trick me?
How can I now my love deny?" - Dangerous Beauty (1998 film) with Catherine McCormack

"Dumb move man, dumb move, but it's like them old reflexes coming back.  I know what's supposed to happen now.  Benny's gotta go down.  And if I don't do it, they are going to say, 'Carlito, he's flaky man, slacked out, a used-to-be bad guy, the joint got to Carlito.' 
The street is watching, she is watching all the time." - Carlito's Way (1993 film) with Al Pacino

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

"There is a fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings.  It is better not to be different from one's fellows.  The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world.  They can sit at their ease and gape at the play.  If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.  They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet." - The Picture of Dorian Gray (book by Oscar Wilde)

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

"Uncompromising purpose and the search for eternal truth have an unquestionable sex appeal for the young and high-minded; but when a person loses the ability to take pleasure in the mundane--in the cigarette on the stoop or the gingersnap in the bath--she has probably put herself in unnecessary danger." - Rules of Civility (book by Amor Towles)
