"Skyrim's harshness has a way of carving a man down to his true self."
—General Tullius
"I fight for the men I've held in my arms, dying on foreign soil. I fight for their wives and children, whose names I heard whispered in their last breaths. I fight for we few who did come home, only to find a country full of strangers wearing familiar faces! I fight for my people, impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire to weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves! I fight so that all the fighting I've already done hasn't been for nothing! I fight... because I must"
—Ulfric Stormcloak
"Your words give voice to that which we all feel Ulfric. That is why you'll be High King. But the day when words are enough will be the day soldiers like us are no longer needed."
"I would gladly retire from the world. Were such a day to dawn."
—Galmar Stone-Fist and Ulfric, continuing from the above
"Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me,
For the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."
—Chant of the Black Sacrament
"You do not even know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance. To take for yourself the name of dovah."
—Alduin the World Eater
"FUS RO DAH!"
—Many a Dragonborn
"We drink to our youth, to days come and gone
for the Age of Aggression is just about done
We'll drive out the Stormcloaks and restore what we own
With our blood and our steel we'll take back our home
Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings!
On the day of your death we'll drink and we'll sing
We're the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives
And when Sovngarde beckons everyone of us dies
But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams"
—Age of Aggression
"We drink to our youth, to days come and gone
for the Age of Oppression is just about done
We'll drive out the Empire from this land that we own
With our blood and our steel we'll take back our home
All hail to Ulfric! You are the High King!
In your great honour we drink and we sing!
We're the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives
And when Sovngarde beckons everyone of us dies
But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams"
