"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.
"I will face god and walk backwards into hell" - a Dril tweet about yelling at zoo animals.
"You cannot kill me in a way that matters." - a Tumblr shitpost about mushrooms.
"Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" - Spy Kids 2, the children's movie.
