Moran Quotes

“And I'm not saying it's a bad song, you know, or anything like that. All I'm saying is that if you get, I don't know, a broom, say, and dip it in some brake fluid, put the other end up my arse, stick me on a trampoline in a moving lift, and I would write a better song on the walls. That's all I'm saying.”
― Dylan Moran

“If you don’t know how to save others, how will you save yourself?”

“In that moment, even if his chest were to be torn open, and his heart ripped out, veins, flesh, and all, it could not hurt as much as this.

He saw Chu Wanning’s hands—raw and bloody from crawling up more than three thousand steps carrying him when he was still alive, he saw those hands slowly feeling along the table. On that table sat flour, seasoning, and mincemeat filling. And next to the table was a pot heating up water. The water was already boiling, but Chu Wanning, the dummy, didn’t even know to lower the flames a little, and the thick covering of steam made everything look hazy and blurry…

(...)

Mo Ran wished he could cut open his own chest and give him his heart, just to hear his heartbeat again. He wished he could drain his own blood to fill his veins, just to see color on his face again.”

“Ever since, holding onto the resentment he felt that grew by the day, he'd kept provoking Chu Wanning in attempts to get his attention, his praise, his astonishment.

During that time, if Shi Mei had praised him with "well done", he would've flown into the sky with happiness.

But if Chu Wanning had been willing to give him a "not bad", he would've gladly given his life.”

“Don’t leave me a second time.
The first time, I could die. But if you go away a second time, I can’t even choose to die.”

“Now that he thought about it, those pleasures had nothing to do with ‘happiness’ or ‘love’. Instead, it was as if he had sunk into a quagmire and fallen into it, making himself even dirtier, deeper, and more self-destructive, wishing that his bones could be dyed black. At its darkest point, it would no longer desire light or hope for salvation. It would no longer dare to try and hold the final ball of fire in the world.”

“After all, everyone wanted warmth.

Especially a stray dog that had frozen in the bitter cold so many times that the mere sight of salted roads made him tremble in the anticipation of snow, of the coming of winter.

Taxian-jun looked imposing, but only he himself knew the truth.

That he was nothing but a laughable stray. A stray that had always been looking for a place that he could curl up at, a place to call 'home', but he spent fifteen years looking and he still couldn't find it.

And so, his love and hate become laughably simple -

If someone gave him a beating, he would hate that person.

If someone gave him a bowl of soup, he would love that person.

He was only so simple, after all.”

“In fact, the little things that Chu Wanning had given him, even though they were very little, were all that he had left.”

“If there was a day that Shizun needed it, then even if he was covered in wounds and dried blood and tears, even if he died without a complete corpse, even if he was burnt to ashes, even if he had to sacrifice his head and broken soul. He wanted to protect this clean and pure Beidou Immortal.”

“He stroked Tibbles, who was starting to leak and make nasty little noises.”

“This is the moral, Oh My Best Beloved: never kill anyone for a 'Cause'.
For why not, Uncle Basher?
Because causes don't pay, Little Friend of all the World. Adherents expect you to kill just for the righteousness of it. They don't want to pay you! They don't understand why you want paying!”
― Kim Newman, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

“Mo Ran suddenly thought—absurdly, ridiculously—that it wouldn’t be bad to spend the rest of their lives like this.

He used to feel like he had nothing, and so fought for everything like his life depended on it, but now he felt like he had everything, and dared not ask for more.”

“The truth of the matter was, that whether a person did good or committed evil was rarely ever due to their inherent nature.

Each person was like a plot of farmland; some were lucky, their fields sprinkled with seeds of grains, bearing an abundant harvest come autumn, paddies wafting with the soft fragrance of rice and fields of wheat dancing in the wind like waves, and everything would be good and praise-worthy.

But some were not so lucky. Their fields were planted with the seeds of poppy flowers, and the spring breeze brought only the sin of intoxicated dissipation and euphoric decadence, filling the skies and covering the lands with that vile, bloody red and gold. The people abhorred it, cursed it, feared it, even as they indulged in its blissful stupor, rotted away in its filthy stench.”

“Mad' sounds dashing, daring and admirable when you hold the tattered flag in the midst of battle and expired natives lie all over the carpet with holes in 'em that you put there. 'Mad' is less impressive written on a form by a commissioner of lunacy as you're turned over to the hospitallers of St Mary of Bedlam to be dunked in ice water because your latest 'scrape' was running starkers down Oxford Street while gibbering like a baboon.”
― Kim Newman, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

“Mo Ran walked briskly through the rain, ran through the rain, fled through the rain, hid in the rain from the thirty-two nonsensical years of his past life.

He didn’t know if the torrential rain could wash away his sins; Chu Wanning had forgiven him, but he had not forgiven himself. His heart felt heavy, so heavy that he might suffocate from it.

He wanted to use the rest of his life to do good, to make amends. But could the downpour in the rest of his life truly wash away the evil in his bones, the filth in his blood? He wished only that this rain could fall for five years straight. He wished only that, when Chu Wanning awakened, he would be able to stand before his shizun a little cleaner, and then cleaner still.”

“MY HEART HAS STILLED, and my thoughts turned to ash / Yet unexpectedly, the light of spring shines through the cold night. / Could it be that the heavens pity the blade of grass in the secluded valley? / Yet I fear that the world is unpredictable and full only of hardship.”

“If I could, I too would want to be Chu Wanning.”
