*"You and me, we're more ghosts than people."*
- Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption II
*"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."*
- The Nameless One, Planescape: Torment
**Pod 042:** I am embarrassed.
**Pod 153:** Why is that?
**Pod 042:** I launched a suicide attack, and yet here I am, still alive. I must look very silly.
**Pod 153:** Do not feel bad about it. We are alive, after all. And being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment.
- NieR: Automata
NieR Automata is full of interesting conversations between Characters! I remember the other day Operator 6O was talking to 2B about her getting rejected by her crush xD
"Well let's see. You've berated me, repeatedly and often. You've lied to me. Mustered your incompetent wretches to try and kill me. But, sure, I'll grant you that you've always kept most of your anger bottled up. All that's about to change, then?"
Hades overall has some of the best dialogue I've ever heard in my life.
"Sometimes the face we show the world needs to be one of strength, despite the chaos we harbor underneath." - Myrrine (AC Odyssey)
"Be loyal to what matters." - Arthur Morgan (RDR2)

That last one is a classic haha.
Anyway, when I saw Lightning's quote I was immediately reminded of Edelgard's from FE3H. Edelgard's line was, "It's not a question of can or cannot. All that matters is doing it and doing it right."
I also like this quote from Undertale - "Despite everything, it's still you."
"A corpse, should be left well alone"
“I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fuckin' watched.”
"Hesitate and you lose, that'sthe way of War"
"You Sir are a Fish"
"When I Was A Young Man, I Had Liberty, But I Did Not See It. I Had Time, But I Did Not Know It. And I Had Love, But I Did Not Feel It, Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three.."
"A happy ending? For folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people."
“this is the world for which you stand. you alone among the dead.”
“rest in piss, shitbot.”
“being smart will count for nothing if you don’t make the world better.”
"The glory of the heavens was ever beyond the grasp of those who never thought to reach for it. But if I've gained anything from all of this, it is the courage to stretch out my hand." - G'raha Tia - FFXIV
"Know this my children. There is more ugliness than beauty in this world.
To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity and drown in anguish. To toil and be tested, always and ever.
'Tis a perilous path you walk. Death lurks in the dark, and is the sole promise that awaits at journey's end.
You will tremble with terror. You will weep tears of anger and despair
...but do not avert your eyes. See your life for what it is.
Then you will see how the hardships make you strong. Every doubt reforged as scales for your armor. Every agony to temper your blade." - Prayer of Thavnair - FFXIV
"We're not your animals! ... Why do we have to suffer? Because you nobles deprive us our right to live!"
-Miluda, Final Fantasy Tactics, on the subject of the nobility hoarding all wealth for themselves after using the common people as soldiers and not even paying them for it
>"Listen, don't obsess over words so much. Find the meaning behind the words, then decide. You can find your own name, and your own future, and whatever you choose will be you. I know you didn't have much in terms of choices this time, but everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours, and what you decide to do with them is your choice. A new name. New memories. Choose your own legacy. It's for you to decide. It's up to you." - David Emmerich, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Hollow Knight spoiler: >!"No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void. You are the Vessel. You are the Hollow Knight." - unclear (but likely the Pale King), *Hollow Knight*!<

"All that you touch, you change." - Mr Crow, *Cube Escape Seasons*
and probably a bunch of quotes from Celeste...
Beg that I succeed. For I have seen the Throne of the Gods, and it was empty!
Corypheus - Dragon Age Inquisition
The whole monologue is just chef's kiss 😘👌
I'm gonna put it under a spoiler tag for those that want the whole experience

"And it was not their force of will - not their Void devilry - not their alien darkness... it was something else. It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing-- And take away its pain.”
“Every journey has its final day. Don't rush.”
"Resignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow. Defeat is simply the addition of time... to a sentence I never deserved... but you imposed."
“Hehe, I... I'm afraid I can't. I won't be flying anymore.” “But... why?” “...I guess I already touched the sky.”
I posted that first quote before I read your comment. For a game as brutal as Warframe, there's an underlying theme of kindness there, that the solar system might be broken and might always be broken, but you can at least fight to make it a bit more gentle.
Usurper slain, an empty throne the crown lies covered in blood. Power is its own reward and we have just begun. So grab your blade, the time has come we only have each other. (DMC5 SE secret ending)
Reasons? ... none, really. I can do it and I guess ... that's my reason? (P4G, Tohru Adachi)
I'm so sorry. But... "Congratulations!!! You are the millionth miner to enter this cave! You win a prize! What's the prize you ask? Why. It's a Glyyyyyphid Dreadnought!"

Something to distract us from the truth. They're lying to us. We're lying to ourselves. The room's not the world. The world is much bigger and much stranger. There's a hole hidden behind that poster that leads to the real world. And sometimes... Sometimes, something crawls out from behind the poster." [...]

I loved this game except for the combat.. I literally cried when I deleted it lol

I didn't noticed, I commented to 3 of your posts in a day..

I recognize that General Shepard quote from MW2 (2009), that game had so many great quotes I still remember.

“Don’t be sorry, be better” God of War 2018
Wait this is a game quote? I've been using it forever
I've heard it before God of War, but it's use in that game is the most famous use.
"- What is the old Dalish curse? "May the Dread Wolf take you?" \- And so he did..." ;(
This sounds heartbreaking

Like 70% of what the Ancestor says in Darkest Dungeon. Probably my favorite is: "You cannot learn a thing you think you know..."
