Random Quotes

[Lausen]

Just some random quotes from Holy-Chaos.

"You can't be a saint forever. Haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like to have absolute power, absolute control?” Zeroth

“What courage, but what is it you fight for? Why struggle for a goal you can’t ever grasp? Why put yourself through it?” Zeroth

“Not for myself, but for those who can’t!” Lausen in response to the last one.

“Your oceans and rivers will flow red with the blood of your people. Your trees will wither from my mighty presence. All life will come to a halt in that moment.” Zeroth

As you can see I like coming up with “evil” sounding quotes. I was just wondering what you thought of them? I would love to hear some of the quotes you guys/girls have come up with or even ones you just really like.

Total Final Fantasy VI flashback. You might want to come up with something more unique to your own game.

Re: Random Quotes

Damn it's really in VI? I never played that one. Well it's a good thing I haven't put those ones in the game yet.

Re: Random Quotes

"The Blood is the Life." It's actually a Bible quote, Deuteronomy 12:23. That's all I can think of right now.

Re: Random Quotes

I think they all sound fine. Don't change them.

Re: Random Quotes

"What is it you desire? Punishment or redemption? Perhaps the fog lifted from the truth. Come forth, man shrouded in darkness, and I shalt give you that which you are deprived."

The first lines from my game, Sin... God, I need to get back to work on it.

[Lausen]

Re: Random Quotes

I'm working on my game right now and just came up with these so I thought I would share them.

"How can we look to the new day when we fear it? Nahara has us living in torment! Is that how you want your kids to live? I think not. We all do our part to change that. But a small sacrifice for the greater good." Valmorse

"Equal? We are not all equal! I know this to be fact. Lord Zeroth has no equal." Valmorse

"Your shield is shattered, your armor cracked, still you cling to what little pride that remains! Even on the dawn of your defeat here you stand. Such hope is madness!" Valmorse

"Lausen, you cannot let your feelings cloud your judgment. The chains of love can bind a man far easier then any shackles. Trying to shear such ties can eat at ones soul, but by accepting the truth and moving on one will grow stronger. What do you chose, Lausen? Will you dwell in the past or look to the future?" Aurox

What do you think?

Re: Random Quotes

Those are all together excellent quotes, and it makes me feel that my game (even in its infancy) is woefully inadaquite.

Here is a line I thought of for another story:

"Fool! I am invincible, I am all-powerfull. But most importantly, I am Amon Kahn, I cannot be defeated!" Amon Kahn's answer to Gismar's challenge.

Here is the first verse of the Book of Oru, the holy text of Amon Kahn's false religion:

"In the beginning there was Oru, and all else was Void."

Re: Random Quotes

Just a random quote I just thought of

"When the sky darkens, desperation sets in, and it feels like the whole world is about to come crashing down around you, in that moment, my friend, you will know the end is near."

[Stormy]

Re: Random Quotes

I just thought of a half-dozen quotes that I think are quite good:

"The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple." - Unknown

"If the enemy is in range, so are you." - Infantry Journal

"All warfare is based on deception." - Sun Tzu

"According as circumstances are favourable, one should modify one's plans." - Sun Tzu

"There is no instance of a country having benefitted from prolonged warfare." - Sun Tzu

"To begin by bluster, but afterwards to take fright at the enemies numbers, shows a supreme lack of intelligence" - Sun Tzu

I don't know why, but that last one always makes me laugh.

Re: Random Quotes

Those are all really good quotes. Mine are all generic, have poor comedy in them, or are just kind of stupid.

" I am the mighty Bob!" -(Apprentice) Bob
(in response) " That has got to be the dumbest name I've ever heard." -Bret

" What? What's a girl doing here?" -Greg
(in response) " Excuse me?!" -Mea
(in response to the response) " Well, way to go. You made her angry. You're so good with women." -Bret

Plenty of stupidity to go around.

Re: Random Quotes

Well becasue everyone else is making sure their forum isn't going to be deleted I will too.

“Every one strives to be stronger, but what does the strongest have to strive for? Nothing! So now I strive for only one thing! I will be greater then any god!” Zeroth

"Hero’s, villains, they don’t exist. Only murderers exist in this world. Categorized by the naive who don’t understand the truth. Good, evil, they are made that way solely by the eye of the beholder." ???

"Foster your hatred, foster the hatred of all those I have ever slain! Lausen, use that hatred and claim my life!" Zeroth

"So you’re off to fight yet another battle you have no business fighting? A battle you’re not obliged to fight?" Cidalic

"Being the chosen one is a curse not a blessing!" Phazor

Re: Random Quotes

I feel obligated to supply something.

"Your devotion to your God is incredulous, your fanatical belief that He is good." [Picks up Bible] "According to your own holy book, he casts you out of His sacred garden for a crime He knew you would commit. When you build a tower to be close to Him, he casts it down and confuses your speech so you can't do it again, though He has nothing to fear from you. When His holy angels mate with humans, their offspring somehow become worse. He creates flawed beings, and blames them for those flaws. And you still are loyal to Him. Why, I wonder?" [puts Bible away] "Don't answer. I know. Fear. Your God, who supposedly loves His creations, keeps them in line through fear; fear of being sent to Hell for nothing but those flaws He gave you. Your God is a tyrant; your own legends make that plain. And all tyrants must be overthrown."

Re: Random Quotes

I really like your quotes, Lausen! I look forward to playing your game!
Anyway, I only have a few favorite quotes:

"To strengthen the body and not the mind is to build a temple on shifting sands"
"Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the facing of it"
"The joy doesn't lie in reaching the destination, but the actual journey there"
