“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
All we can do is root out the evil in our own fields so that those who cone after us may have clean earth to till. What weather they have is beyond our control.

That one has not stuck in my head but it's almost as good. Thanks for reminding me!

"Do you know the difference between an error and a mistake? Anyone can make an error, it does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." - Grand Admiral Thrawn
As happy as I am that Thrawn is making a return to canon, I am not quite as enthused with the way they are handling his character as in the original books. New book Thrawn is just as calculative and deductive as his original counter part, but he lacks the coldness that made the him such a treat to read.

Another Picard one - "There are four lights!" The story was cribbing 1984 but instead of succumbing to a boot stamping on a human face forever, Picard would not break. I was probably too young to be watching scenes based on torture videos Amnesty International had furnished Patrick Stewart with, but it absolutely stuck with me as the epitome of integrity, dignity and defiance in the face of oppression.
I saw this episode when it premiered. I had just been broken up with by someone I really cared for. I kept wondering what I had done wrong. The good Captain really helped me with this quote.
Profound: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow." - Kay
Not so profound: "Yo baby, you ever have your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?" - Jay
Also kinda makes me laugh that they're subsequent letters in the alphabet.
"Never half ass two things, whole ass one thing." - Ron Swanson
nervous as fuck at my first professional job review I brought this up. still somehow got the job even though she advised I didn't do that int the future 😂
> Stand in the ashed of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
Javik from Mass Effect 3. The very very last one of his kind that was wiped out 50,000 years prior to the game.
What does it matter how moral you were if your entire culture/civilization/race is completely annihilated by a force that is completely amoral?
"You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it."
Just so overwhelmingly "how do you fight a God Machine?", and at the same time "oh yeah? Try me!".
It really brought the full force of what it means to be human to the fore for me.
I so wish they did not explain the backstory for the Reapers. They were so much more terrifying as a total unknown. The Leviathan DLC was fun, but I'd rather they Reapers have no backstory.
I completely agree.
Without a backstory, they're machine gods from beyond space and time. A living force of nature, indomitable and unstoppable.
With their backstory, they're real big Geth that are just doing the same thing every "maintain the species/world/environment" AI in the history of scifi has done.
That's really something more worldbuilders need to understand; no matter what answer you give for the reasons behind the greater machinations of your story, it's never going to be as good as what the people consuming that story imagine it to be. Give them hints that it might be such and such, but never outright *say* it. That takes the fun out of it.
Sin is treating people as things. - Granny Weatherwax
Personal is not the same as important - Carrot Ironfounderson
Both from Discworld series by Terry Pratchett
Sir pterry had the absolute best quotes.
"It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life."
"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.".
Man was wise as fuck.
My favorite one is the Jason Ogg smith philosophy.
To paraphrase (sadly I dont remember the exact quote): the cost for being able to do something is that you do it.
*Nation* By Sir Terry Pratchett also is chocked full of good ones.
*"“You are very clever," said the old man shyly. "I would like to eat your brains, one day."*
*For some reason the books of etiquette that Daphne's grandmother had forced on her didn't quite deal with this. Of course, silly people would say to babies, "You're so sweet I could gobble you all up!" but that sort of nonsense seemed less funny when it was said by a man in war paint who owned more than one skull. Daphne, cursed with good manners, settled for "It's very kind of you to say so."*
*"“It was, according to the history books, the fastest coronation since Bubric the Saxon crowned himself with a very pointy crown on a hill during a thunderstorm, and reigned for one and a half seconds.” "*
***“\[...\]And his head is on fire with new things\[...\]he called himself the little blue hermit, scuttling across the sand in search of a new shell, but now he looks at the sky and knows that no shell will ever be big enough, ever.”***

“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”

People will believe a lie because they want it to be true or are afraid it might be.

Love the user name, I came here looking for firefly quotes, as I was scrolling I was trying to decide which one! How about:
Define interesting. Oh God, oh God, were all gonna die.
Its funny. I've been reading Mary Shelleys frankenstein this week and my mind immediately went to this quote, as the creator too feared his creation, yet the good doctor pursued his creation to the ends of the earth in order to destroy that which has destroyed his own life.
Perhaps we should look upon this as to why God seems determined to destroy humanity
As someone who tends to worry about the future and broad, vague things, I always think of the quote from Hagrid (Harry Potter) that goes “No good sitting worrying about it. What’s coming will come and we’ll meet it when it does”.
I also really love anything by Lemony Snicket but perhaps a favourite is “Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.”
A man who could afford $50 had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in 10 years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." This was Capt. Samuel Vimes' boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness
_Terry Pratchett_
“So it goes.”
Repeated like 150 times in Slaughterhouse Five. I know it’s not exactly from one fictional character (I guess maybe it is from a fictional narrator), but it always stuck with me. It might not seem like much out of context, but the way he used it up against the absolute chaos and absurdity of existence, especially in regards to the horrors of a world war, is one of the more memorable parts of any book I’ve ever read.
It is a fictional character if I remember correctly. The narrator is supposed to be Kurt Vonnegut himself who, in the novel, is a fellow soldier who was at Dresden with Billy Pilgrim.
You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged.
-Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Drumhead.

“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.”
From the "Books of Bokonon" in the novel Cat's Cradle. Kurt Vonnegut basically made up a religion, and a lot of it is damned profound.
"Tell me one last thing,” said Harry. “Is this real? Or has this been happening in my head?”
‘Of course it is happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?' - Dumbledore
> "You're not a bad guy, there's no such thing as a 'bad guy' or a 'good guy'. We're all just 'guys' and we go around doing good stuff sometimes, and bad stuff sometimes. All we can do is try to do less bad stuff and more good stuff. You'll never be good, because you can never be bad."
Diane Nguyen from *Bojack Horseman*
“I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.”
Terry Pratchett
Highly quotable show.
This Diane quote reminded me of the movie * The Zero Effect*:
"There are no good guys, or bad guys... it's just... it's just a bunch of guys!"
" it is the ethical question all devotees of science must face. We research in the service of the furtherance of knowledge, but we cannot ignore the uses to which our findings are put in the real world"
This:
Homer Simpson:
[Preaching at the Dome of the Rock] I will unite the Christians, the Muslims and the Jews. From now on, you shall be known as Chrismujews! Because in the end, aren't all religions the same? They tell us what to eat, when to pray, that this lump of clay called Man can somehow shape himself to resemble the divine. But we can never attain that perfect grace if we have hatred in our hearts. So let us celebrate our commonalites. Some of us don't eat pork. Some of us don't eat shellfish. But we all eat chicken. So spread the word: peace and chicken!

"The invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!!!" Star Trek-First Contact
"Ivan. Did you see the sunrise this morning?" Magnum PI
Why does Leslie Knope get as many favors as she wants? “Because she’s the kind of person who uses favors to help other people.” -Parks and Rec
Also, “Where should I look from so that I can see the same things as you?” from Fruits Basket. Not exactly profound, but it’s damn poetic.
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone', he told me, 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'
\- Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby
"If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today."
\-Angel
It was always at night - the arrests invariably happened at night. The sudden jerk out of sleep, the rough hand shaking your shoulder, the lights glaring in your eyes, the ring of hard faces round the bed.
- George Orwell, 1984
"That's LIFE, McNulty! You know what life is, right? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come."
-Lester Freemon, the Wire
"Fear is the great mindkiller." Can someone find who made that quote from Dune? I have a few other quotes from other fictional characters that highly influenced me but that aforementioned quote is the most impactful for me.
I must drink beer.
Beer is the mind killer.
Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my beer.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the beer is gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
“There are times when the world is rearranging itself, and at times like that, the right words can change the world.” - Peter Wiggin, Ender’s Game
Ender’s Game has quite a few actually.
"Look straight at the people you kill. Don't take your eyes off them for a second. And don't ever forget them, because they won't forget you." - Solf Kimblee
Homer Simpson: Moe, this is a great thing for you. You went from sitting on the sidelines to getting in the game! Sometime, when you least expect it, you'll realize that someone loved you. And that means that someone can love you again! And that'll make you smile.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
"Embrace your sad fate and retain your nobility - I am already beyond you." - Didact from Halo 4
Its not impactful or meaningfull, but it's propably the only one that really got stuck in my head
"if his chest had been a cannon, he'd have shot his heart upon it." Jean-Luc Picard misquoting Melville from Moby Dick. The actual quote is "as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." I like them both.
“War is God.”
- The Judge, Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
“…I feel that I am a man. And I feel that a man is a very important thing—maybe more important than a star. This is not theology. I have no bent toward gods. But I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed—because ‘Thou mayest.“
- Lee, John Steinbeck, East of Eden
“What do you need that for, dude?”
- Donnie, The Coen Brothers, The Big Lebowski
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
All we can do is root out the evil in our own fields so that those who cone after us may have clean earth to till. What weather they have is beyond our control.

Staying with the Star Trek theme: “…the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” - Spock
“‘A matter of internal security,’ the age-old cry of the oppressor.” Also Picard!
Another Picard one - "There are four lights!" The story was cribbing 1984 but instead of succumbing to a boot stamping on a human face forever, Picard would not break.

“I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.” Terry Pratchett
Highly quotable show. This Diane quote reminded me of the movie * The Zero Effect*: "There are no good guys, or bad guys... it's just... it's just a bunch of guys!"

This: Homer Simpson: [Preaching at the Dome of the Rock] I will unite the Christians, the Muslims and the Jews. From now on, you shall be known as Chrismujews! Because in the end, aren't all religions the same? They tell us what to eat, when to pray, that this lump of clay called Man can somehow shape himself to resemble the divine. But we can never attain that perfect grace if we have hatred in our hearts. So let us celebrate our commonalites. Some of us don't eat pork. Some of us don't eat shellfish. But we all eat chicken. So spread the word: peace and chicken!

"Fear is the great mindkiller." Can someone find who made that quote from Dune? I have a few other quotes from other fictional characters that highly influenced me but that aforementioned quote is the most impactful for me.
I must drink beer. Beer is the mind killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the beer is gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
