Share it. It can be from any source. Codex, book, short story, etc. And source where it came from! Tell us why you like it. If you can't pick one, share a few. I'll start off with one. It's from Lord of the Night by Simon Spurrier. "These humans, their imaginations are strong. Kill a thousand men, and they will hate you. Kill a million men, and they will queue to face you. But kill a single man, and they will see monsters and devils in every shadow. Kill a dozen men and they will scream and wail in the night, and they will feel fear, not hatred. This is the way of obedience my sons. They are panicky, gossiping beasts, these humans. It serves us to allow them to be so." - the Night Haunter, Primarch of the VIII legion I even used the quote in a literature paper I had written. Heh. It's a powerful quote which is why I like it. Discuss.
Dante of the Blood Angels For eleven hundred years, I have fought and I have seen the darkness in our galaxy. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the mutant. I have witnessed the sin of possession. I have seen all the evil that the galaxy harbours, and I have slain all whose presence defiles the Emperor. I have seen what you will see. I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay... so fear not and be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the protectors of Mankind. Aye, we are indeed the Angels of Death.
What is your life?My honour is my life.What is your fate?My duty is my fate.What is your fear?My fear is to fail.What is your reward?My salvation is my reward.What is your craft?My craft is death.What is your pledge?My pledge is eternal service -Space Marine Pledge
We commend our souls to the Emperor. Let the story of our sacrifice burn across history like a shooting star. For death and for glory – for the Ultramarines!
My favourite quote comes from the Grey Knights : "Duty ends not in Death, In Vengeance be true, In Valor be Strong"
