Apathy

"It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence."

- Tanith Lee

"It's kinda like how I carry a little piece of onion around with me, to illicit tears in case someone needs me to feel something about what they said or doing; you know what I mean?"

- Dennis Reynolds (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia)

"Dear God...! It's true... I feel no pain!! Not the slightest jab of remorse...or love. Truly, I am Free!! Free to last purse my scientific work without the moral restraints of Essex, unhurried by the threat of mortality. I AM FREE!!"

- Nathanial Essex after his transformation into Mister Sinister (Marvel Comics)

"Did you expect a tear-filled apology? Do you have no idea who I am? What I do? Asking me to feel bad about killing someone is like asking you to feel bad for breathing."

- Bullseye to Agent Joy Jones (Marvel Comics)
