If nothing we do matters. All that matters is what we do.

Don't frown with regret; peer forward with your head high.

I don't really care; I'm simply crestfallen…

You reap what you sow, Artyom: force answers force, war breeds war, and death can only bring death. To break this vicious circle one must do more than act without any thought or doubt.

Wicked phenomenon, yes? But, you know, it’s not any more "evil" than, say… fire. It all depends on your point of view. Try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement.

If you want to make enemies, try to change something.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What the hell are these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!

Hello, my name is Andrew Ryan and I’m here to ask you a question: is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.
I chose... Rapture.

What separates a man from a slave? Money? Power? No. A man choses and a slave obeys...

A living being above all else seeks to discharge its strength. Life itself is will to power. Nothing else matters.

Only a true leader plunges into the dark woods of defeat and emerge into the light of victory.

Our life is made by the deaths of others.

As long as theres two people left on the planet someone is gonna want someone dead.


Damn it, Otacon, get a grip!
