It a speech that starts around 8:39. My friends and I use to always make stuff up and adults always took it the wrong way.
And this because of how horribly true it is.
I love both the game and the short story that it was based on. I thought it had the best voice acting ever even though it was made in the 90s!Chiasm said:
OT: "Even in the deepest darkness, there is light" - Sora, Kingdom Hearts
That phrase is what I base my life around. No matter what bad stuff happens, it can always get better.
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear."
-The God-Emperor of Mankind
"Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying. Then my children, I shall list'n for your call from whatever realms of death hold me, and come I shall no-matter what laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime."
-Primarch Leman Russ
Did I mention I really love me some Warhammer40K?

For me, it's "Never say never ever." It's from Doctor Who and it was the Doctor who said it.
The actual context of the quote is not fantastic as he was saying it about the possibility of him and Rose being separated (she said they were never ever going to be torn apart, and then he said this line, and then two episodes or so later, that's exactly what happened), but the quote stuck with me. I think it's a good quote to try and live by, and I know it's easier said than done.
I've let it sort of become my life motto, but it is difficult sometimes. Still love it though.

Also,
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me."
- The Code of the Sith
I dunno why this one speaks to me. It just... does. It's definitely much better than the Code of the Jedi, what with the "there is no emotion" bit.

Except for that's bullshit, because I can assure you even the most amateur Geologist can find beauty in a piece of rock2fish said:
Ima go ahead and say:
"How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can't even trust his own pants." - Frank.
That quote is so deep, points for guessing what it is from.
"'We had no choice'. Always 'we had no choice'. Those are our magic words. We repeat them to ourselves again and again. But you know... the magic never worked! All we're left with is regret."
"The hardest person to know is yourself."
"A defeat learned from is more important than an empty victory."
"Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes, well, the bar... he eats you."
"The Dude abides."

"I've got a boner for murder!" Sarge, Red vs Blue. Just because it's funny.
"It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here" Deus Ex trailer.
And for all the wrong reasons; (paraphrasing)
"If you're not prepared to die, then you're already dead." ME3 trailer. Such a stupid line that I can't get it out of my head.

"Why?"
-someone in Geneforge
No game has made me stop and think of my actions and their consequences like Geneforge did. When some servile in the game suddenly asked me "WHY?", which was pretty much an absolute insult to come from a servile, I had to stop and ask WHY I picked the choice I did.
Geneforge is also the one game that has the honor of me taking one side of the main conflict and then having me switch as time went on with no prodding from the story.

I couldn't remember this one but most definitely this. This quote is like the principle of human civilization and 90% of RPGsCraorach said:
"I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla.
I know not, nor do I care.
Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion.
I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me.
I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."
- Conan in Queen of the Black Coast
Conan is my favorite fantasy character and I think this quote describes him the best.
Of course, the first movie is still badass :
"Conan! What is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."
