"Butt Kicking! For Goodness!" -Minsc, BG2

"April: How can you do that? How can you remember every story ever told?

The Teller: The secret is to tell them often, and to tell them in your own words, not the words of your ancestors.

April: Doesn't that mean that the stories change with every generation?

The Teller: Yes, as all Tales must. Change is important, otherwise the Tales will have no meaning to us... They will be just words, and we do not care about the words. We care about what the words tell us."

"Oh no" - Knuckles, Sonic Adventure

A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. Who they are, who they should be. Amateurs, lecturing a professional.

"In time you will learn the tragic extent of my failings." Or just Darkest Dungeon quotes in general really.

Also a lot of SHODAN quotes burned into my head. "You move like an insect. You think like an insect. You are an insect. There is another who can serve my purpose. Take care not to fall too far out of my favor. Patience is not characteristic of a goddess."

Rogue Warrior had a song made up from all of Mickey Rourke's voice lines in the game:

(the game was about blowing up North Korea as some guy who unironically says a voice line like 'suck my balls my fat hairy balls' after every single kill, based on books written by former navy seal Dick Machenko or some bullshit)

"Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!"

He was a good man (smack lips) what a rotten way to die

Citizen Sleeper - Eshe

"Let me tell you something, Sleeper," Eshe says, her rage hardening into pain. "When people become administrators, they give up something. Some part of being human, being an equal among others, goes away. They start talking about the greater good, the systems, the ways in which their hands are tied, or their processes compromised."
"Mu mother was the administrator of Hawthorn, and I have seen what it did to her. That noble, higher calling, it is toxic. People should never have the chance to decide the fate of others. And those that do, do so at a cost to their humanity."

There’s more to this conversation that I love too, but it didn’t start hitting me how unique this was to find in a game until I was most of the way through, so I only caught this part to save.

Celeste has a lot of great stuff, it's the first that came to mind, but nothing in particular is coming up.

So I guess I have to go with the extremely classic "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."
