"Goodbye, cruel world. Goodbye, cruel lamp. Goodbye, cruel velvet drapes, lined with what would appear to be some sort of cruel muslin and the cute little pom-pom curtain pull cords. Cruel though they may be..."
—Professor Farnsworth, Futurama
"I cut it out. I can't hear the buzzing voices anymore. I can't feel the immaculate machine. The numbness feels kind of like hope.
Don't the others feel what's happening? What's being eaten away? What's changing? It's not my problem anymore. It's done. The Council can't have me anymore. Gaia can't have me. My guilt can't have me.
They gave me eternity when I didn't want another second. I've returned the gift.
No more tears. No more words. It's time to sleep. One final dream.
I'm coming home, Callum. See you soon, little duck."

"Get out of my head before I do what I know is best for you.
Get out of my head before I listen to everything she said to me.
Get out of my head before I show you how much I love you.
Get out of my head before I finish writing this poem.
But a poem is never actually finished.
It just stops moving."

"Dearest Helena: By now, the news of our defeat has reached the Earth. The creatures we were sent here to tame are un-tamable, and the colonies we were sent to reclaim have proven to be stronger than we anticipated. Whatever you may hear about what has happened out here, know this: Alexei did not die gloriously in battle. I killed him. My pride killed him. And now my pride has consumed me as well. You will never see me again, Helena. Tell our children that I love them, and that their father died in defense of their future. Au revoir."
— Admiral Gerard DuGalle, Starcraft I: Brood War

Hey guys, guess what!

How is everyone doing? I hope you are all fine.
I am not fine, as you can no doubt tell by me hanging here from the ceiling fixture.
You are the ones who drove me to this. I was doing just fine until you fuckers came along.
I hope you're happy now that I'm goddamn dead.
Signed, the corpse in this room.
P.S. Fuck you people!

"To my only friend, when you're reading this, I will already be dead.
My shop will probably look quite messy...
I have decided that I'll go to the back room to die, so you don't have to look at my corpse
I'm sorry I couldn't be more patient in waiting for you
but that doesn't matter now
what matters its that you're here against all odds you managed to escape the prison
I'm aware that this may seem like a bad ending to the story but you're still here
you're here, and I will have baked another cake for you. I'm not sure how fresh it will be when you find this, as for all I know you never will, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
I wish you the best of luck.

Isaac Bontemps: <Player's Name>, this letter reads, "To whomsoever this may concern: I, Barbara Coldwell, have foisted my ostentatious person into the face of this world for far too long."
"The authorities need not be involved, as this suicide is an occasion for which I have specifically planned. I am an unromantic, decadent, pink fraud. Sincerely, Barbara Coldwell."
<Player's Name>, is this supposed to be a suicide letter? I've never heard of someone specifying the police should not be called upon before.
And who in the world finishes a suicide letter with "sincerely"?
<Player's Name>, the killer clearly forged this absurd suicide letter, hoping to get us off the case!
They were right to tear the letter to pieces, as no one would ever believe it was real!
