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

Know what? Tell me YOUR favorite WTNV quote. I wanna know what lingers in people's minds after all this time

“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?”

neosatsuma

“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present.”

“Death is only the end of you assume the story is about you”

"There is a thin semantic line separating weird and beautiful, and that line is covered in jellyfish"

"Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won't. That's what love is."

ghostsinthecellar

from one of the books:

"Nothing there but a distant airplane crawling across the sky, red blinking lights, vulnerable in the vast empty, faint red beacons flashing the message HELLO. A SMALL ISLAND OF LIFE UP HERE, VERY CLOSE TO SPACE. PRAY FOR US. PRAY FOR US."

elvencantation

“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.”

okay but can we please return to the first one because what an amazing way to deal with random sads? “Oh, someone died, I’ll send out good thoughts for their soul to be at peace or w/e, I’m just in the mourning period for them that’s all” instead of like stressing over “WHY AM I SAD?” when there really is no real discernable reason? I’m using this is what I’m saying.
