Sealed Evil in a Can/Quotes
Seals are meant to be broken.—Sage Ghido, Final Fantasy V
Moria. You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum...shadow and flame.—Saruman, from the Fellowship of the Ring movie.
For seventeen long centuries have I remained in this blade, confined within these metal walls. During all my imprisonment you are the first I have seen who is worthy to bear me into battle. Come, take my hilt, and I will serve you in the manner of my kind, drawing the blood of your enemies, protecting you in the midst of the fight, bringing you safe home again. Now draw me from the scabbard and test the fitness of my balance. See how easily I swing, how my keen edge cleaves the air. A good choice, am I not?
Willingly you picked me up. Your first mistake. Willingly you drew me. Your second mistake. I do not allow my servants to make three mistakes, foolish mortal...—A Daemon Weapon from Slaves to Darkness, Warhammer 40,000
Death stands above me, whispering low
There is only pain and fear
I know not what in my ear.
Of his strange language all I know—The Dogma Omniastra, Warhammer 40,000
We are born for a darker purpose than that of mere existence. There will come a time when the stygian night never ends, where dead stars will spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and when the beings that hid like shadows will feed on us forever.—The Dogma Omniastra, Warhammer 40,000
Rot flesh and splinter bones! Boil gore, snap spine! The light! All pain to the light! The rage. I remember such rage, like a wall of fire... Such desire it was that caged me, such suffering it took. So much blood! Such a river of hate! Pain! Blood! Blood for the Blood God!—'Ss'll Sh'Karr, Daemon Prince of Khorne, Warhammer 40,000 Daemonworld
And so, once again, we find that the evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap waxed paper!
We try not think about the scariest one of them all. The gigantic, half dragon, half octopus, half humanoid Great Old One himself: Cthulhu! Waiting to return from his city beneath the sea!
TENTACLES!!!
Who day & night must slumber in R'lyeh?
Wave his tentacles, having nasty dreams
And who has the might, as master of R'lyeh
To drive humanity insane?
CTHULHU!!! Cthulhu!
Tentacles!
CTHULHU!!! Cthulhu!
The ninth was strong and fought with might,
Forever to lie there, wishing us ill.
But lone Orannis was put from the light.
Broken in two and buried under hill,—Lirael, Old Kingdom

Teysa: Hello, Pazapatru. How are you?
Pazapatru: That would be wise.
Pazapatru: Teysa. I am well and look forward to my freedom in precisely 2,281 years, nine months, eleven days, two hours, forty-four minutes, and... ten seconds. On that day I will destroy you all.
Teysa: I don't doubt you will, but I hope to be a ghost by then.—Magic the Gathering: Guildpact
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases toward a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
"Ahh! After 10,000 years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!" [1]—Rita Repulsa, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
"The Adephagos disappeared into the void. Yeah well, guess that they didn't really say they destroyed that thing. They just went of and left this piece of crap remnant behind."—Yuri Lowell, Tales of Vesperia
"It is not a calling that can be made in an hour, or even in a day. There are many bars to be let down, sealed doors to be broken, locks to be opened for which the keys were thrown away. If we are to have help against Ardneh in time, I must begin now to call upon--the powers that are to help us."—Wood, The Empire of the East
"...they open doors to they know not what, they take down bars that were put up when they were wiser and more frightened."—Anita, also from The Empire of the East, on what Wood was doing.
