"I too once felt the feelings that you carry now. I questioned the things whose true forms are invisible. But when all was said and done, all I was left with was nothingness and disgust. And to that disgust we all carry I simply say: Not I" - Dr. Zorndyke.
The above quote is a commentary on the pointlessness of hatred and vengeance. It is a rejection of those petty sentiments that cause us to say and do things that harm others for no reason or profit.

No, you must continue. Here, let me help you with one of my favorites:That Guy Ya Know said:
"The popular stereotype of the researcher is that of a skeptic and a pessimist. Nothing could be further from the truth! Scientists must be optimists at heart, in order to block out the incessant chorus of those who say 'It cannot be done.'"
- Academician Prokhor Zakharov, University Commencement
"And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?" - The Puppetmaster Ghost in the Shell
"Once they figure a way to work a dead horse, we'll be next. Likely I'll be the first too. 'Edd,' they'll say, 'dying's no excuse for laying down no more, so get on up and take this spear, you've got first watch tonight.' Well, I shouldn't be so gloomy. Might be I'll die before they work it out." - Dolorous Edd from A song of Ice and Fire.
"How come I never make friends like that?"
"You need to get out more."
"We're in another galaxy. How much more out can you get?" - McKay and Beckett from SGA.

"I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn't so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward."
"People can't be just tied together. They have to connect. Otherwise, they'll find themselves bound hand and foot."

If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I've seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

"Life is a negotiation. We all give, to get what we want." - Mordin Solus (read rapidly with nasal tone), ME2.
"I cant believe the special stories that have been made up about our relationship with the universe at large, because they seem to be too connected, too local, too... provincial. One of the aspects of God came to the earth, THE EARTH mind you, and then look at whats out there. it just... just isn't in proportion." - Richard Feynman, physicist.

"Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all."
Catch-22
I like this one because it gives the protagonist a more noble reason to not participate in the war than cowardice. It undermines the senseless violence that occurred for the last 40 chapters (by which time he's lost practically all his friends) but still gives a glimmer of hope for him to hold onto. It makes the ending that much more satisfactory.
