Welcome... To the Velvet Room.
I'm fairly certain it was the first line spoken in Persona 4 (if not it's still pretty early on at least.)
I'm also fond of the "like Zero" simile "empty but with infinite possibilites" i believe it was, hell any well thought out simile or metaphor is automatically interesting to me.
As a side note i didn't think the "war never changes" thing from Fallout was very memorable. It just seems a bit generic.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. Leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age long past, an Age yet to come, a wind rose...
In terms of movies or games though, definitely Bastion's or Fallout's.

"I realized, as I fell into the fissure, that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned... it continued falling into that starry expanse of which I only had a fleeting glimpse."

"Rise and shine Mr. Freeman, rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply that you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... Well let's just say your hour has come again.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
So wake up Mr. Freeman,
Wake up and smell the Ashes."
Soon followed, of course, by:
"Citizen... Pick up that can."
