- "We are travelers, constantly moving forward and looking back. Alone and as one. We have no choice but to try. For our insatiable curiosity. For our fear of what should happen if we don't. You are that explorer now. We will say goodbye, and you will look back one last time and know that wherever you go, we will be with you. This is Commander Shepard, signing off."
- — Commander Shepard, N7 Day Teaser
- “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.”
- "Hope clouds observation.”
- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
- “Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
- "No one tells you how to mourn. And when someone says, “move on”, you take their hand and say “my choice.”
- ― Aveline Valen, Dragon Age 2
- "None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are."
- — Anne Rice (The Vampire Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #2))
- "The dragons dance, and men are like dust under their feet. And all of our fine thoughts, all our... endeavors are as nothing. We march toward our annihilation. To die will be a kind of relief."
- — HOTD, episode 8, season 2
- “For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”
- ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
