Quotes from fictional characters that made you stop and think or have stuck with you.

[TheTJackson]

Joker - Great. See, this is where it starts, and when we're all just organic batteries, guess who they'll blame? "This is all Joker's fault. What a tool he was. I have to spend all day computing pi because he plugged in the Overlord." - ME2

Unknown Alliance Sergeant - "That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest-son-of-a-***** in space!" - ME2

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Why create when it will only be destroyed? Why cling to life, knowing that you have to die? None of it will have meant anything once you do."
-Kefka, Dissidia 012

 

[Luke3184]

And I shall leave you fellows with that wall of text.

American Gods!

/hug

You know in that respectable hey bro kind of way...

/Equally manly hug back

That book is nowhere near read enough

No its not. Its definitely one of the best books I've ever read. You should read Anansi Boys. It has a nice backstory of Mr Wednesday and his family. (which may sound dull, but it really isn't) It is very much written in the same style as American Gods.

I have yet to find something of Neil's which I haven't read, and it's Anasai not Mr Wednesday

Is it? Its been a while since I've read it.

It is indeed, I strongly suggest you try fragile things. Some of the stories are just amazing.

I have and I love it. Also read Stardust... slightly different than the movie.

Yup, read it. Good Omens?

 

[Professor Putricide]

"See your world through my eyes: A universe so vast as to be immeasurable - incomprehensible even to your greatest minds."

[LadyTiamat]

"That is not dead which can eternal lie. Yet with strange aeons even death may die."

Lovecraft, PRAISE CTHULHU!

 

[TheKruzdawg]

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing... Only I will remain.

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

 

[Xaio30]

"What can change the nature of a man?"

It was not the question in itself, but the context behind it and irony of asking it again.

Rocknrolla

Johnny Quid: You see that pack of Virginia killing sticks on the end of the piano?

Pete: Yes.

Johnny Quid: All you need to know about life is retained in those four walls.
You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur - the gold packet of king size with a regal insignia, an attractive implication towards grandeur and wealth, the subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends, and that, Pete, is a lie.

Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion, written in boring bold black and white, it's a statement that these neat little soldiers of death and in fact trying to kill you and that, Pete, is the truth.

Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren.
That which starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet.
That is why you and i love the drugs and that is also why I cannot give that painting back. now please, pass me a light (or lie).

Pete: Oh you are something special, Mr johnny quid.

Always loved that one. I also liked when Lenny said "There's no school like the Old School, and I'm the fucking Headmaster!"

OP:
"For every one of us, living in this world
means waiting for our end. Let whoever can
win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,
that will be his best and only bulwark?
Endure your troubles today. Bear up
and be the man I expect you to be"
-Beowulf; lines 1384-1389

Truly the words that all Dark Ages warriors lived by.

I'll paraphrase, because I'm too lazy to track down the exact wording, but:
"Never forget what you are, for the world will not. Armor yourself in it, for then nobody can use it against you'
-Tyrion Lannister

I think you got the wording exactly right.

In video games, I'd say the whole war never changes speech. That thing was awesome, especially with the animation to go along with it in fallout 3.

TV: I'd have to say Bazinga has found a place in my heart. go Sheldon

Books: seeing that I'm actually reading game of thrones right now I'd say this one is pretty good

Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it?s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining. - Brienne the Beauty

"But she wasn?t around, and that?s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone." - Mitch Albom, For One More Day

I don't remember the character name in For One More Day, but it was one of Mitch Albom's two books that were fictional. I've got TONS of quotes that stuck with me, whether fictional or real people. (Though some are just funny as hell. Like the Percy Jackson ones.)

Adam Jensen - Do I trust mankind to save itself? That's what Eliza was asking. The truth is.... I don't know. After everything I've seen, all the fighting and chaos around me, I only know what I want to believe: somehow, human decency will triumph.

[Fijiman]

There are far too many quotes from far too many different sources and I unfortunately don't remember them all. One of my favorites that I do remember is "When the rich are too rich there are ways, and when the poor are too poor there are ways"- The Good Earth. I think this quote also is a good thing to keep in mind considering the current status of the economy. If I do remember more I'll be sure to post them.
