->''"No one can escape their past. The sins we've committed... and the sadness we've caused... No matter how far we run, our past remains as ever-present as the moon in the sky. It looms in wait... for the day when we are forced to face it. But only in doing so can we truly make peace and move on in hope towards tomorrow."''

->''"GerardDepardieu is a big lump of pure messiness and that probably has a lot do with his screwed-up childhood. While some of us were spending the 10th year of our lives making friendship bracelets and choreographing dances to Taylor Dayne songs in our mom’s garage, Gérard Depardieu was on the streets, selling his ass to men. In his new memoir ''It Happened Like That'' (''Ca C’est Fait Comme Ca''), Gérard writes that his family was really poor, like Fantine in ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' poor, and so at the age of 10 he did sex stuff with grown dudes for money...When Gérard wasn’t working the streets as a child hooker, he was breaking into graves to steal jewelry from corpses. Now Creator/LindsayLohan knows why every time she broke into a grave in Paris to steal jewelry, the corpses would be bare. Gérard beat her to it decades before! ...This is why every era and every country needs its own [[ToCatchAPredator Chris Hansen]]."''

->''"You can't run from your past. You'll end up running in circles. Until you fall back down into the same hole you were trying to escape from, only the hole's grown deeper."''
-->-- '''''VideoGame/MaxPayne 2'''''




-> The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it. But it's like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off.
-->-- '''Max Payne''', from ''MaxPayne2''

->''Don't you just love to read pointless and poorly written garbage about fictional people's problems?\\
\\
Well if you do you're a complete sadist but that's okay, you've come to the right place. This is the land where we step over the borderline from "tragic past" to "Loaded up with so many problems it's kind of sick". Sounds like fun huh?\\
\\
Take a glance around the room and you will see our first victim. His name is L [[spoiler: Lawliet]]. Although he possesses legions of adoring fans they all seem to be obsessed with torturing him. Let's take a closer look.\\
\\
L sat sadly in task force headquarters. He felt his imminent doom hanging over his head as well as the pain of his unrequited love for unnamed love interest/dead love interest. This reminded him of all the tragic things that had happened to him, the things that kept him awake every night for fear of terrible nightmares (because this explanation of L's insomnia isn't complete rubbish at all).\\
\\
He thought back to his childhood as a poor orphan boy. He thought about that flashback he was going to have later in the series when [[spoiler: he died]] and how it showed how tragic a character he was.\\
\\
It had all started when the young boy had to watch his family be brutally murdered. They were shot/burned/eaten/poisoned/exploded/forced to watch the ''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]'' movies. It was a horrifying memory that would haunt the detective all his life.\\
\\
After many heart-breaking scenes of carnage Watari brought the young L to Wammy's house. He was very emotionally scarred and had no friends. Then one day Watari brought two new children to the house, A and B.\\
\\
L immediately fell in love with A/B/random other chick. Unfortunately they died. All of them. Violently. While still carrying his child. Right in front of him. Other wretched stuff.''
