I thought about doing this for a while but I've kept putting it off. I've always thought it would be cool to have a place to store/share quotes, so here we go! Feel free to add onto this list:

"Everything starts with belief..." ~ Maria Traydor

"Noble endeavors do not always reach the end that we desire" ~ Delita Hyral

"I had lived my life the only way I had known. But when the pillars of that life came crashing down, I did not stand to watch them fall. I turned, and walked away." ~ Ramza Beoulve

"The things I could not do yesterday, I shall not fear to attempt today, for I shall never give up on tomorrow" ~ Alexia Lynn Elesius

"I'll be with you. I'll always support you. If your legs lose their strength, I'll carry you. If your eyes lose their light, I'll describe the world to you. I'll always be with you...so when I'm with you, please stop trembling. I want to be with you, to always be with you. That's the purpose I've found for my journey..." ~ Arnaud G. Vasquez

"How did you come to be who you are?"
"I lived each day following my heart" ~ Leanne to Cardinal Giliriano

"I won't live as long as you have, and I'll never be as powerful. Things like saving the world and fighting goddesses are just beyond me. They're out of my reach. That's why I've always chosen to fight for the smaller things in life and the people close to me. If that means I have to fight you to protect them, then so be it." ~ Sothe (FE10)

"Heh. It's funny you should ask that... I'm not deluded enough to think that I can beat you. The goddess herself would hesitate to fight you. But my people are frozen solid, and I have to delude myself enough to think that I can help save them." ~ Naesala (FE10)

"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" ~ Animal Farm

"When you have eliminated all that is not possible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" ~ Sherlock Holmes

[OblivionKnight]

Fun topic.  I recognize some of this (and will add some of my own later) - do you have sources for them?

[superaielman]

I see a... FFT quote, a WA4 one, an FE10 quote (two?), and a animal farm quote. I don't know the rest.


Mine: (Swiped from my FB quotes page)

[Tide]

I actually do! I have now included where they come from, just for you OK

Also, yeah, there are more quotes I have, but I thought I would lead off with the stuff that I personally found cool (they're on my FB page as well).

[metroid composite]

From memory, and it's been at least 5 years so I might screw this up, but...

REPENT NOW, Judgement day is near.  The cacophonous sounds of the seven bugles shall consume the heavens, and all sinners shall burn in the fiery wrath of the lord.  But I, no I shall not die.  Death knows no boundaries; it is an integral part of each and every life.  Death is ultimately an act of grace and love from the lord.  MmmMMMmmm, Daniel Scotius Aragainus: blameless soul.  That man has not a heart to be found in his body! ...Though I do thank him for building this monastery here.

~Roger ****ing Bacon

[Cotigo]

"Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire." - Walt Whitman.

"April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain." -American sports legend, Charles Barkley

--
"So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo

When the pimp's in the crib ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot..."

-English Romantic poet, John Keats

[Anthony Edward Stark]

"Never look back." -Nier, after the second of several accidental genocides.

Some other quotes, not all necessary quotable for IRL use, but good stuff nonetheless:

"I don't know about angels, but it is fear that gives men wings" ~ Max Payne

"What do you mean he's unstoppable? You are superior to him in every way that counts. You are better trained, better equipped, you outnumber him at least 20 to 1. Do... your... job!" ~ (Pretty sure this was from Max Payne too, don't remember who though)

"You speak of sleeping better at night? Know then, that what you would do will give you nightmares to last a lifetime. Mark my words."

"You are not doomed to failure, my friend. You are doomed to be human. Just like the rest of us. The Kysins have labeled the two of us as something special. Unique even. So perhaps our failures just sting a bit more. But we are still human."

"If this is a nightmare, I would rather wake up now."

[Anthony Edward Stark]

"Is this you talking, or the liquor?"

"I am the liquor."

[Bardiche]

HATE." - AM (I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream)

"When virtue rises one foot, vice rises ten." - Chinese proverb.
