You know, my mother was an atheist. She used to say that there was good news and bad news about hell. The good news is hell is just the product of a morbid human imagination. The bad news is whatever humans can imagine, they can usually create.

[As Mrs. Selvig] You know, my mother was a Catholic. She used to say it takes the saints eight hours to bless a sleeping child. I hope you aren't rushing the saints.

[reading calmly into camera] My name is Helly R. I'm making this video roughly two hours before it will be shown .. to me. I have, of my own free accord, elected to undergo the procedure colloquially known as Severance. I give consent for my perceptual chronologies to be surgically split, separating my memories between my work life and my personal life. I acknowledge that, henceforth, my access to my memories will be spatially dictated. I will be unable to access outside recollections whilst on Lumon's severed basement floor, nor retain work memories upon my ascent. I am aware that this alteration is comprehensive and irreversible.
If you want a hug, go to hell and find your mother.
HRHelly R.
I could not, with a razor to my throat, be less interested in being your family.
HRHelly R.
[to Milchick] Well, boss. I guess this is the part where I should tell you to go to hell. Except you're already here.

[on video] Helly, I watched your video asking that I resign. I also received and responded to your previous request. I assumed that would resolve the issue, but now Ms. Cobel says you threatened to cut off your fingers? I understand that you're unhappy with a life that you've been given. But you know what? Eventually, we all have to accept reality. So, here it is. I am a person. You are not. I make the decisions. You do not. And if you ever do anything to my fingers, know that I will keep you alive long enough to horrible regret that. Your resignation request is denied. Turn it off.

[Quoting Kier] "Let not weakness live in your veins, cherished workers, drown it inside you."
[Continues Kier quote] "Rise up from your deathbed and sally forth, more perfect for the struggle."

Exactly.
[in his book] Bullies are nothing but Bull and Lies.

I told her I wanted out and she told me I wasn't a person. My own self told me that.
MSMark S.
Yeah, and, and that's horrible, but don't focus on her; what do you want, in here?
HRHelly R.
What I want is for her to wake up while the life drains out of her and to know it was me who did it.
[in his book] Remember, they can’t crucify you if your hand is in a fist.
The surest way to tame a prisoner is to let him believe he's free.
HRHelly R.
It’s important because it actually is or because you’re saying it is?
Let's burn this place to the ground.

My wife was extraordinary. My wife was allergic to nutmeg. And when she sneezed, she always sneezed twice. My wife liked other people's dogs. My wife thought cardigans looked ridiculous. I loved all these things about her... equally.
