->''The touch of [[EldritchAbomination the King]] comes from all directions simultaneously. He is outside and inside and somewhere else. Suddenly she can't remember the name of her husband or the sound of the voices of her daughters. All she can remember is the time when she was twelve and she let the man in the swingpark touch her. He gave her ten shillings and she bought chocolate and was sick. Shame. Disgust. Humiliation. The king is talking to her, touching her that way.''

->''That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.''

->''I retreated. As Esplin 9466 cheerfully tugged on my pleasure sensors, my pain receptors, as he started issuing orders and surveying his domain, I retreated. I would become just a body again, trapped in my personal, inescapable torment, that haunted me even after death.''

->''He grabbed [[[BondCreatures Dia]]] behind the head. She went limp. All the breath rushed out of me, and I fell to my knees.\\

I didn't beg for him to let her go. I was beyond that. I made noises in the back of my throat that sounded more like a wounded animal than anything human. Everything in the universe was wrong, twisted, disgusting, and it wouldn't be right again until he ''stopped touching her''.''

->''And the creature that had once been Shamuhaza was obliterated utterly as it saw without seeing, as it heard without hearing, felt without feeling, unceasing agony as the man who had once been Kyril Sutherland showed it what he looked like behind his mask. The creature that had once been Shamuhaza screamed as nightmares, dreams and hate bombarded its empty brain like a torrent.''

->''It was as if an alien hand had reached right inside where no hand had a right to be, and wrenched at something deep and precious. She felt faint, sick, dizzy, disgusted, limp with shock. ... It wasn't ''allowed''. Not ''supposed'' to touch. Wrong...''

->''[[[OurDragonsAreDifferent Glaurung]]] constrained her to gaze into his eyes, and he laid a spell of utter darkness and forgetfulness upon her, so that she could remember nothing that had ever befallen her, nor her own name, nor the name of any other thing; and for many days she could neither hear, nor see, nor stir by her own will.''

->''[[MechanicalAbomination AM]] [[BreakThemByTalking said it]] with the sliding cold horror of a [[EyeScream razor blade slicing my eyeball]]. AM said it with the bubbling thickness of my lungs filling with phlegm, [[BodyHorror drowning me from within]]. AM said it with the shriek of babies being ground beneath blue-hot rollers. AM said it with the taste of maggoty pork. AM touched me in every way I had ever been touched, and devised new ways, at his leisure, there [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind inside my mind]].''

->''The mental images grew more intense: Kihrin with his old teacher Mouse, with Morea, with any number of girls and boys from the Veil velvet house. Kihrin saw him doing things to them -- [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil terrible, non-consensual things]]. The demon showed Kihrin image after image of himself as a cruel, sadistic monster of a man, a demon clothed in human skin who delighted in the pain and terror of those around him. He fed on it in the way that crocodiles fed on anyone foolish enough to come too close to the river. The demon drove deep into Kihrin's mind and pulled up the memories of everyone he'd ever known and loved and then had Kihrin tear them apart -- or murder, torture or rape them. Even in the [[WrongSideOfTheTracks Copper Quarter]], even for a boy who had grown up in [[RedLightDistrict Velvet Town]], sins existed beyond his experience or comprehension. The demon emptied one atrocity after another into the boy's head until he had seen them all.\\

->''Amy Fremont got up from the rocking chair, and came across the porch. She was a tall woman, thin, [[EmptyShell a smiling vacancy in her eyes]]. About a year ago, [[GooGooGodlike Anthony]] had gotten mad at her, because she'd told him he shouldn't have [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals turned the cat into a cat-rug]], and although he had always obeyed her more than anyone else, which was hardly at all, this time he'd snapped at her. With his mind. And that had been the end of Amy Fremont's bright eyes, and the end of Amy Fremont as everyone had known her.''

->''There had been no pressure behind that touch, but he had caught, dimly, the implication that there could have been, if she had wished. That this Troi had wanted him to realize that, or more likely to be reminded of it. [[LampshadeHanging There was also something uncomfortably sexual about the touch, like being fondled without permission or desire]]. This Troi's manner suggested that such minor harassments were a pleasure to her, one she indulged whenever she liked. And from the fear the other crewmen seemed to evince in her presence, [[TheDreaded no one was safe]].''

->''The icy thoughts of the Queen of the Norns crept through him, wrenching at his very being with cold, heedless claws. It was an agony beyond anything, beyond fear or imagination. She emptied him, and he was a helpless witness. All that had happened, all his experiences leaped from him, his innermost thoughts and private self ripped out and exhibited; it felt as though she had slit him open like a fish and pulled free his struggling soul.''

->How much deception can you take\\

Your mind's about to fall

->I'd love to see inside your mind and tear it all apart\\
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart

->''The cruelest tortures leave no mark upon the flesh.''

->''If awareness yields to [[SuperEmpowering Awakening]], the initiate finds himself impaled on the icy horns -- or more appropriately, phallus -- of Enlightenment. For one who pursues the darkest Mysteries, this moment is a rape of the soul. Every fear, every doubt, every screaming terror the initiate has ever felt rips through him like a gutter's hook. At this moment, he stands at the edge of Hell, and gets a taste of it. [[{{Understatement}} The experience isn't pleasant]]. ''[...]'' It may be a prelude to a wondrous career, but the [[InitiationCeremony Cold Thrust]] is always torturous. It literally scars the soul, tears it open on a spiritual level. No matter what the diabolist does, this moment will haunt him like no other. Some initiates [[GoMadFromTheRevelation snap forever at this point]] and become [[AxCrazy demented]] [[PowerBornOfMadness Marauds]]. Some even die from the shock. Those who endure with their wits intact [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil become the most dangerous kind of mage]]: those who have gone to hell and returned.''

->''[[DemonicPossession The merger]] isn't a wholesome symbiosis or a sharing of souls. It is more akin to a spiritual violation. ''[...]'' [[OurDemonsAreDifferent The Bane]] forces the human to see everything -- friends, family, music, art, anything the human once loved -- in its own terms. That means friends and family are just sacks of meat waiting to be used for whatever purpose the Bane sees fit. Music and art are distractions, mind-numbing and maddening enigmas that the Bane doesn't have any way at all to appreciate. Love is not compatible with the Bane's outlook -- it is, in fact, the Bane's very antithesis.\\
Adding to the horror, [[AndIMustScream the victim keeps his own perceptions and thoughts during all of this]]. They may be tainted or colored by the Bane's to be sure, but the human's mindset is still nowhere near as simplistic as the Bane's. That means that a father looking at his son sees the child not only through his own eyes but also through the Bane's -- and the Bane is part of him, at his most basic level. Is it any wonder that most fomori [[SanitySlippage lose their sanity]]?''

->''[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Cainites]] fear Dementation more than any other Discipline. [[CompellingVoice Dominate]] might erase your memories, [[{{Biomanipulation}} Vicissitude]] might reshape your form, but Dementation can destroy your soul.''

->''[Temrash 114] plunged his thought deep into mine, going further than he’d ever bothered before. I didn't resist. Maybe I should have, maybe I couldn't. I drew back, I made myself smaller, I withdrew and let him do whatever the fuck he wanted. He wasn't familiar, after all this time, and he wasn't practiced at this like Feriss had been, and the harsh friction of imagined edge on edge, mind on mind, sparked memories of hours spent learning to take this, learning to endure quietly. A lot of things I'd buried and done my best to forget.\\
Yeerks can go deep, when they want to. They reach down into your soul with their slimy little selves all flattened out like tentacles and almost make you forget you’re anything but a meat suit for them to walk around and pretend to be normal in. Temrash had never bothered before, not when he could get the same results with way less chance of host addiction. Feriss, on the other hand… Well, there were Yeerks and then there were ''Yeerks''.

I wish I could say it hurt. I wish I could say it felt wrong, or awful, or like I was being hollowed out from the inside, or like I wanted to die.\\
I wish a lot of things, nowadays.\\
I felt myself hollowing out, the deeper Temrash went inside my thoughts. The smallest brush of his mind against mine made me draw back, opening up automatically. I'd been trained out of anything else, thanks to Mr. Security Chief and his sugar daddy and their impossibly high standards.''

->You scream all the time, but it's the inside kind. You scream and scream, but you can only hear it when you're asleep. [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Otherwise, it's quite lovely]].
