The Most Fucked Up Characters In Films

Leonard Shelby.

"Memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."

John Nash.

"People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better."

Dr. Emil Reingold: "Mickey and Mallory know the difference between right and wrong; they just don't give a damn."

Donnie Darko.

"They say right when they flood the house and they tear it to shreds that: Destruction is a form of creation. So the fact that they burn the money is ironic. They just want to see what happens when they tear the world apart. They want to change things."

Norman Bates.

"They know I can’t move a finger, and I won’t. I’ll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do... Suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching… They’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know, and they’ll say: Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly..."

Tyler Durden & Marla Singer.

Tyler:
"Put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brains."
"The things you own end up owning you."
"I am Jack's smirking revenge."

"I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let... Let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may."
"When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... And you're never really awake."
"With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy."
"You can swallow a pint of blood before you get sick."
"On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
"Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip."
"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war... Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
"You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, He hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen. We don't need Him. Fuck damnation, man, fuck redemption! If we are God's unwanted children, so be it! [...] First you have to give up, first you have to know... Not fear... Know... That someday you're gonna die."
"If I didn't say anything, people always assumed the worst."
"I don't wanna die without any scars."
"Well, you did lose a lot of versatile solutions for modern living."
"By the end of the first month, I didn't miss TV."
"Marla's philosophy of life is that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't."

Tyler: "When people think you're dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just..."
Marla: "Instead of just waiting for their turn to speak."

Marla:
"The girl who lived there used to be a charming, lovely girl. She's lost faith in herself. She's a monster. She's infectious human waste! Good luck trying to save her!"
"It's cheaper than a movie, and there's free coffee."
"It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, and then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree. So special. Then, bam, it's on the side of the road."

Trevor Reznik.

"Right now I wanna sleep. I just want to sleep."

Stevie: "Jesus Christ!"

Trevor: "Don't I look okay?"
Stevie: "If you were any thinner, you wouldn't exist."

Blake.

"I lost something on my way... to... wherever... I am today."

Mr. Blonde

"Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"

"Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get."

Clementine Kruczynski & Joel Barish.

Clementine: "Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."

Joel: "Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
