->So, Richard Belding, a man so fated to become a highschool principal that his very name is a gag about the onomatopoeic sound of a bell, reveals that [[UsefulNotes/VietnamWar he served in Vietnam]]. And [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids quite probably killed people]]. Mr. Belding joins the ranks of other fictional characters who served in wars prior to the adventures we knew them for, such as [[Series/TheMunsters Herman Munster]], a WWII vet, and ''Series/HomeAndAway''[='=]s Alf Stewart, who was also in Nam, possibly mowing down innocent villagers alongside Belding, in fan fiction that I'm going to write the second I've finished this chapter.
-->-- '''Stuart Millard''', ''So Excited, So Scared: The ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' Retrospective''

->It was a battle to get an interview with him in the first place, but once we began talking he was so responsive. Most people who interview him ask him questions about the latest action movie, which he couldn't give a damn about, or about his girl trouble, or make fun of him. But he's a much more complicated character, and he had a lot to say.
-->-- Feminist writer '''Katherine Viner''' on Creator/SylvesterStallone

->[[TheCaptain Matt]] was beginning to suspect that [[BoisterousBruiser Silva]] was the sort of person who rose to meet expectations. All his life he'd been expected to be a screwup--so he was. Now everyone, himself included, expected more, and so far he'd delivered.
-->-- ''Literature/{{Destroyermen}}''

->''Riff-raff, street rat. I don't buy that.\\
If only they'd look closer.\\
Would they see a poor boy?\\
No, siree.\\
They'd find out\\
there's so much more to me.''
-->-- '''Aladdin''', ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', "One Jump Ahead (Reprise)"

->"What? Was that Merlyn, who five seconds ago was screaming about all the hoes he gets, talking about materialistic culture, socioeconomic warfare, and the downfalls of being a kid who has to experience these things?"
-->-- '''Alfo Media''' on Music/{{Brockhampton}}'s '''Merlyn Wood'''

->We're all scared, it's the human condition! Why do ya thinks I put on this tough-guy facade? Now beat it!
-->--'''Sal''', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', "The Honking"

->You can't open up the story of my life and just fucking go to page 738 and think you know me.
-->--'''Arin''', ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''

->''"[[Franchise/DragonBall Trunks]] often made the rash assumption (as everyone else did) that all his father knew how to do was purge planets and kill. It was during rare moments like these he realized there had probably been other diversions to occupy his father's time while in Frieza's intergalactic army. Vegeta appeared to be well-schooled in diplomacy and mediation, and he looked extremely comfortable in the role."''\\

->'''Emily''': People tell me I'm [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} weird, or spacy, or "random,"]] whatever that means. At first it hurt my feelings.

"Don't mind Emily, she's just '''weird'''." "Oh Emily, you're so '''random'''." It's like, screw you for thinking I'm "random." As if being myself is a calculated act. A defense mechanism. I'm happy with who I am, and with how my brain works, and if that makes you uncomfortable it's your problem, not mine.\\
'''Clinton''': Wow.\\
'''Emily''': And when I explain this to people they're like "ooh, she has '''hidden depths'''." No I don't! My depths aren't hidden! I'm weird all the way down! You just can't '''handle''' it!
-->--''WebComic/QuestionableContent''
