Lucifer

Some quotes I love from a Netflix TV show called Lucifer.

"I'm drowning doctor and I can't stop asking myself, why do I hate myself so much."

"That's why I don't lie. It's hard to keep track of who knows what."

"People don't arrive broken. They start with passion and yearning till something comes along and disabuses them of those notions."

"Sometimes we are what we are and we should embrace that."

"Desire shouldn't be contained, it's unnatural."

"The best thing to do is always follow your greatest desire."

"Sometimes betrayal comes from the ones that we expect the least."

"One thing I refuse to hate about myself is my style."

"Now, I'm not one to get into the feels, usually, but . . . you seem genuinely distressed. You okay? Do you want to—I don't know—chat about it or something?"

"You . . . You cruel, manipulative bastard. Is this all part of Your plan? It's all just a game to You, isn't it? Eh? Well, I know punishment, and he did not deserve that. He followed Your stupid rules and it still wasn't good enough! So what does it take to please You? Break Your rules, and you fall. Follow them, and you still lose! Doesn't matter whether you're a sinner! Doesn't matter whether you're a saint! Nobody can win, so what's the point? What's the bloody point?"

"There was this, uh, soul that I used to torture back in Hell. And like a good masochist, he'd call the shots. "Burn me. Freeze me. Hurt me." So, I did. And this went on for centuries. Until one day, for some reason, he missed his daily punishment. And when I returned, he was crying. "Please, my King," he said. Don't ever forget me again . . . I promise I'll be good." It was then that I realized he was so full of self-loathing, void of any self-respect, that no matter the depth of my cruelty, whatever minuscule attention I paid gave meaning to his . . . pointless existence."

"You send yourselves, driven down by your own guilt, forcing yourselves to relive your sins over and over. And the best part? The doors aren't locked. You could leave any time. It says something that no one ever does, doesn't it?"

"There is something rotten inside of me. I find it near impossible to drown out the constant cacophony of voices whispering in my ear, telling me "I. Am. Evil." I'm drowning, Doctor! And I can't stop asking myself . . . Why do I hate myself so much?!?"
