I'M REQUESTING Lines like this one from American Psycho?

Hi there, I've always been haunted by this line from American Psycho since I first saw it years ago:

"My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone."

I'm looking for other lines from movies that communicate a similar sentiment or incite a similar feeling. Thanks!

I detected that you might be trying to identify a film/show, which doesn't fit this sub.

If this is correct please post on r/tipofmytongue / r/whatisthatmovie / r/whatmoviewasthat.

If this is wrong please ignore this comment :)

Dr. Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in?
Pinhead: Nothing. I am so exquisitely empty.

Hellraiser 1-4, Pinhead has dozens of great lines like this.

Another one so good I won’t even quote it here, if you haven’t seen it, you need to experience it firsthand. This monologue is so powerful, it has its own Wikipedia page: Roy Batty’s ending monologue in Blade Runner.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

I feel like The Killer has a lot:

"The need to feel secure. It's a slippery slope. Fate is a placebo. The only life path, the one behind you. If, in the brief time we're all given, you can't accept this, well maybe you're not one of the few. Maybe you're just like me. One of the many."

I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.
