    To be united by hated is a fragile alliance at best.

    Apathy is death. Worse than death. Because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects

    “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
    -Cave Johnson

    So motivational and inspiring.

    @original_reader “Everything has its beginning. But it doesn’t start at “one.” It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born… from zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as Zero remains, one… will eventually grow to 100 again. […] And for that reason, I’m taking it upon myself to send Zero… back to nothing.” - Big Boss, Metal Gear Solid 4

    “A man chooses, a slave obeys.” — BioShock

    From Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture, the underwater utopia gone wrong in BioShock. This is Ryan’s philosophy valuing individual freedom and rationality over collectivism and morality. I can never decide whether I agree with this or not. There’s truth in it, but it can be misguided and extreme as well.

    I know there have been a lot of great meaningful quotes in games I’ve played throughout the years…

    But all I can remember is shit like “this guy are sick” and “Oh no! The truck have started to move!”

    My all time favorite, though, is “The president has been kidnapped by ninjas! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?”
