Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless
Like the one that stuck with me was this one:
"when a person dies and no one will miss them, the mourning is assigned to a random human. This is why sometimes you just feel sad."
It's been almost 11 years... It haunts me in a good way
“We are a story telling species. Other animals use tools. Other animals communicate. Every division we try to throw up to separate ourselves from our animal kindred gets knocked down, except this. Human beings have an insatiable drive to organize the world into narrative, both real and unreal. We are the only species to tell harmless lies that our audience knows are lies, in order to delight and inspire. What a heavy burden the truth. What a light gift a fabulation. A lie is a thing with feathers.”
— Cecil G Palmer, ep. 220 - A Radio Jupiter Holiday Special
"The living tell the dying not to leave, and the dying do not listen. The dying tell us not to be sad for them, and we do not listen. The dialogue between the living and the dead is full of misunderstanding and silence."
-Cecil Palmer, WTNV, episode 37: The Auction
Let's have a look at today's horoscopes:
ARIES: Winking smile emoji. Graveyard emoji. Thumbs up emoji. 100 emoji.
“It is a sadness what we do to each other. It is a weeping and a gnashing of teeth.”
- Welcome to Night Vale, Episode 59 "Antiques"
"It'll work out eventually. Maybe not well, but all situations do end somehow."
- Cecil G Palmer, ep 205 - The Moon Is Gone
There is a crack in the wall. There is a twinge in your heart. There is someone coming, but don't worry, there is also someone going.
“At your smallest components, you are indistinguishable from a forest fire.”
Joseph Fink, The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe (Welcome to Night Vale Episodes, #2)
"We have survived all the way from birth to this very moment, and we look at each other, and some of us start laughing and others start weeping and one or two of us break out into a wordless humming song, and all of us mean the exact same thing.
Look at us. Look at us out in the honey light of the finished day. Look at us and rejoice in our sheer being.
...
And then a gradual movement towards Mission Grove Park, no orders or even suggestions given, and yet we all file to that central meeting place, put our arms around each other, grip tight, and then grip tighter. Some of us are not here. We leave space for them, space that has been emptied by time.
...
Night has arrived, ladies. Night is here, gentlemen. Night falls on our weary bodies.
And night falls on you too. You too have survived, survived everything up to this moment. Grip tight, hum, laugh, cry. Forget nothing and think many things of it. Good night. Good night. Good night."
-Cecil Palmer, Ep 15 of WTNV
