{{quote|You accuse me of being a madman. What right have you to judge what is sane and what is not?<br />
I have fought with the shadows on the edge of your vision.<br />
I have seen the faces that laugh at you in your nightmares.<br />
I have smelt the foetid breath that issues from the mouth of hell itself.<br />
I have heard the silent voices that make your spine tingle with dread.<br />
I have entered the realms between worlds where there is no time or place.<br />
I have clashed with creatures the sight of which would sear your soul to the core.<br />
I have bested horrors that chill with a gaze and tempt unreasoning terror.<br />
I have faced death eye to eye and blade to blade.<br />
I have stared into the eyes of insanity and met their all-consuming stare.<br />
I have done all of this for you, for your protection, and the guarantee of a future for mankind.<br />
And yet you accuse me of being a madman, you who have never had your sanity tested so sorely.<br />
What right have you to call me a heretic and a blasphemer, who have not heard the whisper of dark gods in your ear?<br />
You are weak. Vulnerable. Human in your frailty. I am strong and yet still you judge me.<br />
And yet you still judge me for my sins, you who art most sinful to the heart?<br />
Only the insane have strength enough to prosper; only those that prosper truly judge what is sane.|'''Inquisitor Lichenstein''', ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''}}
 
{{quote|His word was the roar of thunder. <br />
His glance was the look of the eagle. <br />
His might was the strength of the kraken. <br />
His guile was the cunning of the wulfen. <br />
His temper was the death of men. |'''From the saga of Voltar''', ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''}}

{{quote|Fuck you. That's my name. You know why, mister? You drove a Hyundai to get here. I drove an eighty-thousand dollar BMW. THAT'S my name. And your name is you're wanting. You can't play in the man's game, you can't close them - go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fucking faggots?... You see this watch? You see this watch? That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much'd you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids.

{{quote|'''Aldo Raine:''' We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the German won't not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the German will be sickened by us, and the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us. And when the German closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good? <br />

With the assistance of Shamash and Adad, the gods who help me, I thundered like Adad the destroyer over the troops of the Nairi lands, Habhi, Shubaru, and Nirib. I am the king who had brought into submission at his feet the lands from beyond the Tigris to Mount Lebanon and the Great Sea [the Mediterranean], the whole of the land of Laqe, the land of Suhi as far as Rapiqu, and whose hand has conquered from the source of the river Subnat to the land of Urartu.}}

That city I built anew, I took the peoples whom my hand had conquered from the lands which I subjugated, from the land of Suhi, from the land of Laqe, from the city of Sirqu on the other side of the Euphrates, from the furthest extent of the land of Zamua, from Bit-Adini and the land of Hatte, and from Lubarna, king of the land of Patina, and made them settle there.}}

I took in great quantities, and placed there, silver, gold, tin, bronze and iron, booty taken by my hands from the lands which I had conquered.}}
