Daily Literature Quotes

Such scholastic discussion! Sometimes I wonder if the concept of altruism was coined by the most selfish person in the world so as to exploit the results.

The talk of religion and politics is itching me to quote Wilde's views on those but since this isn't really the place, I'll have to sadly bite my tongue. XD

In any case, I wonder what the next quote would be. Our first already sparks so much discussion, I'm anticipating more~

So I forgot to do this last night and then proceeded to fall asleep. XD

Today's Literature Quote is…

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

It's another Shakespeare quote! Yeah. He's actually pretty funny if you read enough of his quotes. This quote was submitted by @Ghostwriter! Congrats! The holy RNG accepted your sacrifice and is rewarding you with fame! No fortune, but certainty fame.

Having never read The Tempest myself (shameful, yes I know), I can't really accurately give a description of how the quote lines up in the significance of the story as a whole. If I had to guess though, it's probably pretty important. Still, speaking from personal experience, I can say this is a pretty accurate quote to real life. Humans are snakes, we're devilish creatures that won't stop at putting someone else behind just to progress. And while I understand there is an argument to be made about it being "necessary for progression," I still find it horrifying that we'd be willing to kill off entire groups of people just to progress a little bit.

Why are we still being mean about people. :'(

<3 The Tempest. Watched the play in a park on a Saturday night; perfect way to spend the evening. One of my favourite quotes from the play itself and I aspire to hopefully be able to quote/use it in a piece of writing one day. :) It really sets up the ominous tones and works well as the start of a religious motif.

[Suicune's Fire]

Very nice quote indeed. Human nature is fascinating and tragic. 9/10 for that one! Nice, Ghosty. :]

I LOVE HOUSE. As much as I disagree with misanthropists, they're my favourite characters!

That's like me in every book ever. Love the character but hate like half their believes. XD

Today's Daily Literature Quote is…

"I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see that you are unarmed.”

So apparently the RNG really likes Shakespeare. However, I guess it also thought we were due in for some old time humor as well.

This is probably one of my favorite Shakespeare quotes of all time. It's literally a way to call someone stupid and confuse the crap out of them while doing so. I know, I've done it, and if executed successfully, there will be no successful comeback to this quote. 10/10 best quote there is.
