“Oh! Yeah! I- just thought it might be nice, you know, something to look back on when we’re all old and sick of each other.”

“You are entering a new world, a place I’ve lived for most of my life. A place… A place that will often demand a high price from you. Pay it without hesitation, because one way or another, the world is now on your shoulders.”
The Magnus Archives - Entities: The End
“I just kept thinking to myself: the moment I die will feel just the same as this one. It’s not a thing forever in the future; I will be in that present just as surely as I am in this one. And I will end.”
The Magnus Archives - Georgie Barker
“Okay, I know monsters are real and I… assume there’s more?”

“I feel like I should be upfront with this right at the beginning. I’m probably a cannibal. I don’t know for sure, but the likelihood is high.”

“Yes, the bullet was bad, right, but it didn’t make me angry. Anger is… Anger’s been all I’ve had for a very long time. Years. Maybe since… oh, I, I don’t know. But everything I’ve done, everything I pushed for was because I was angry.”

The Magnus Archives - Entities: The Desolation
“Well, if you smother a flame, it dies. The only way it grows and flourishes is if you feed it. It’s about making sure you find enough fuel for it, and… not caring where it comes from. If you spend your time hiding and fretting about who you hurt, you’ll sputter, and you’ll die as surely as any candle. Don’t be afraid to burn.”

“She looked at me, with the same sadness I’d seen on her face before. ‘That must be nice,’ she said and went back to staring into the sunset.”
The Magnus Archives - Entities: The Extinction
“And within those numbers are all of our dooms. If you know how to read them. And I read them. I read them all, and saw the doom of everyone who lives and breathes and hopes for life and happiness.”
