And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I
perceived that this also is but a chasing after the wind. For in much
wisdom is much vexation, and he who increaseth knowledge doth increaseth
suffering.

Have you *read* the Bible? I think you'd have a pretty hard time
narrowing it down to just /one/ "most emo chapter".
You've got to love inserting random Bible quotations though for the
sheer crypticness and enigma of it all. I actually got the above quote
not from the Bible, but from Assassin's Creed. Similar unfathomable
quotes from Cryostasis too.

I was wondering why you were reading Shakespear.

Isn't that what the Uruk-hai were doing? Shaking spears? ;-)

Yup. All of it. Even 1 Chronicles 1-9 (though I couldn't quote a single
line from it). All in all I really can't think of anything that sounded
more depressive to me than Ecclesiastes.
I didn't read the KJV though (except for some sections), so I can't say
whether it is more emo in general than the German version I read
(Elberfelder revised or Schlachter, dunno which one it was).
The only thing that comes close might be Job, but that one at least has
a happy ending.

Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

Really!? Maybe for Job, but not for his wife and kids and all.
