{{quote|''"Whatever quality of human greatness I have the talent to portray--''that'' was the quality the outer world sought to degrade. They let me play nothing but symbols of depravity, nothing but [[Femme Fatale|harlots]], [[Life of the Party|dissipation-chasers]] and [[Romantic False Lead|home-wreckers]], always to be beaten at the end by the little [[Girl Next Door|girl next door]], personifying the virtue of mediocrity."''|'''Kay Ludlow''', ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]''}}
 
{{quote|''"There is a passion in the human heart that is called aspiration. It flares with the noble flame, and by its light Man has traveled from the caves of darkness to the darkness of outer space. But when this passion becomes lust, when its flame is fanned by greed and private hunger, then aspiration becomes ambition--by which sin the angels fell."''|'''The Control Voice''', [[Opening Narration]] of ''[[The Outer Limits (TV)|The Outer Limits]]'' episode "The Bellero Shield"}}

'''George:''' No, because that would be like saying 'I'm a sociopath.'|''[[Being Human (TV)|Being Human]]'' }}
 
{{quote|''"That [[Adolf Hitler|such a man]] could go so far toward realizing his ambitions--that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come."'' |Modern introduction to '''''[http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Mein-Kampf/Adolpf-Hitler/e/9780395925034/?itm=1 Mein Kampf]'''''}}

{{quote|''"I knew you weren't normal, but to have [[Take Over the World|such an ambition]] at [[Improbable Age|such a young age]]... It's no wonder you fell to Hades. Hmhmhm..."''|'''Valvatorez''', about Fuka Kazamatsuri, ''[[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten]]''}}
 
{{quote|''"Actually if you ask me this country could do with a little less motivation. The people who are causing all the trouble seem highly motivated to me. Serial killers, stock swindlers, drug dealers, Christian Republicans. I'm not sure motivation is always a good thing. You show me a lazy prick who's lyying in bed all day, watching TV, only occasionally getting up to piss, and I'll show you a guy who's not causing any trouble."''|'''[[George Carlin]]'''}}
