"I couldn't believe it. Phoenix Wright...! A second rate attorney who relies on luck and bluffs! He dismissed me... and went with that pitiful excuse for a man? ...He deserved to die for that error alone. […] My point is... ...these two men shamed me, and I could not forgive that. Phoenix Wright and Zak Gramarye both deserved what they got."

"Do you know why we Makuta hate Toa so much? It's because you are what we could only pretend to be, once upon a time — heroes who do good for no reward. And so we call you fools, and even slay you... because we could not be you."
— Krika, BIONICLE
My nights alone were worth it all / Just to see your face on the way down
You're on your way down
There's no one to hear you when you call / No hands to help you as you drown.
You're on your way down
There's no one to hear you when you call / No hands to help you as you drown.

""I lack their smiles and their diamonds. I lack their happiness and love. I envy them for all those things I never got my fair share of."
Edmond: Why? In God's name, why?
Fernand: Because you're the son of a clerk, and I'm not supposed to want to be you!
Fernand: Because you're the son of a clerk, and I'm not supposed to want to be you!
Goku: Tell me, Vegeta — with that stamp on your head, I know Babidi's been giving you orders. Is this one of them? Are you trying to fight me because of him, or is this the same old story between you and me? Which one?!
Gohan: Does it really matter?
Vegeta: Not to you, Gohan, but to a warrior it matters greatly. And you know this as well as I do, Kakarot: in a day, you'll be back to the dead, and I will not miss this opportunity.
Shin: Who are you people? Don't you see the universe matters more than your meaningless squabble?
Vegeta: (enraged) "Meaningless", huh? WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF MEANINGLESS? Spend most of YOUR life ruled by another...watch YOUR race dwindle to a handful...and then, tell me what has more meaning than your own strength! I have in me the blood of a Saiyan Prince! He is nothing but a joke! Yet I've had to watch him surpass me in strength, my destiny thrown to the wayside! He's...he's even saved my life as if I were a helpless child. He has stolen my honour. And his debts must be paid!

Timmy Turner: Look, we can call all this a draw right now! I don't care if you have a godparent, Remy.
Remy Buxaplenty: But I care if you do! My parents are never home! I never get to see them! Why should you have real parents AND godparents that love you WHEN I DON'T?!

"You don't want unity. You want power. You've always been jealous of my father, haven't you? You got him banished so you could become chief, and I bet it just killed you to learn he was the Avatar's father. No wonder you kept trying to take me away from him."
"What am I talking to you for? All you gotta do is munch on a carrot and people love you."
"I'm going to be entirely honest with you: I hate you. Your deft handling of your unfortunate circumstances, your uniqueness, your ability to surpass me — all these irritate me. ...You're the one person I refuse to lose to. […] I'll let you have this win today — but next time, I will be victorious."
"Yeah, I know. I bet you all real happy aint ya? You bunch of keyboard warriors, sitting there cheering for Dalton, I SAW YA! I saw ya doing it. But you know what? At the end of the night I'm Caprice Coleman and yall still a bunch of jive turkeys! Why? Because I'm the show stopping, crowd popping, body rocking, pulse pounding, heart racer, the man with the style, the grace, the shape and after all these years, pretty face!"
— Road to Best in the World at Gateway Center
Rapunzel: ...I think Zhan Tiri has your head so clouded with anger and hate that you don't even know what you want anymore.
Cassandra: I know exactly what I want. I want you to know what it feels like to fall short despite your best efforts. I want you and the rest of the world to know that I come second to no one.

"Armsmaster hates you. He hates that you're the next big thing, the guy that's going to be better than him. That you get the easy road to being a big name in the Protectorate, and he's the one that has to stay up nights, reworking his stuff, compiling simulations, coming up with new ideas, training in the gym for hours and hours on end. Every second of work he puts in, he gets more and more resentful of you. Why do you think you were the one member of the team he sent off to patrol the city and watch over the Wards, instead of having you come to the party?"
Barista: Isn't it better to own seventy nine percent of a successful station than one hundred percent of a dying one?
De Morel: Yes.
Barista: Then why are you upset?
De Morel: Because I've worked hard to save this station and I should be the one saving it!
[beat]
De Morel: ...I didn't mean to say that out loud.
