    Most of my fav quotes are already posted, so why not post this:

    Let's post quotes of Captain Price:
    "You have to trust someone to be betrayed. I never did."
    — Price to John "Soap" MacTavish and Nikolai after Shepherd betrayed Task Force 141.

    "The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. [...] Out-gunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare... They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."
    — Price's speech in the cutscene of Just Like Old Times.

    "This is for the record. History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost. Shepherd will be a hero, 'cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history. His truth will be the truth. But only if he lives, and we die."
    — Captain Price's speech in the intro to Endgame.

    "They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? [...] Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil—that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. [...] The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match."
    — Price narrating, during the Turbulence mission pre-cutscene

    "There's a clocktower in Hereford where the names of the dead are inscribed. We try to honor their deeds, even as their faces fade from our memory. Those memories are all that's left, when the bastards have taken everything else."
    — Price, refering to Soap, during the "Stronghold" pre-cutscene.

    "There's a simplicity to war. Attacking is the only secret. Dare—and the world yields. How quickly they forget that all it takes to change the course of history...is the will of a single man."
    — Price, during the "Dust to Dust" mission pre-cutscene.

    "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."
    ~Groucho Marx

    I can relate to this quote. I love reading, I have no preference of genre I will read anything. I find that whenever i open a book i feel myself as the main characters. I love feeling the struggles and the decisions that they go through.

    Some good quotes

    Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. - V

    and also along the same lines:

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. - Oscar Wilde[/HIDE]

    Although I fear PO has disproved the latter

    I kind of like and hate this quote at the same time.
    Genocide is a serious matter and should harshly be dealt with, but I interpret this quote saying that genocide must be overcome by some common force above us all.

    Mixed feelings in a good way about that quote

    Fictional characters' quotes
    «Cooking is a gift from the gods. Spices are a gift from the devil. Looks like it was a little too spicy for you.»
    Sanji, One Piece, after defeatin Jabura from CP9

    «When does a person die? When they are shot through the chest with a pistol? No. When he suffers from an incurable disease? No. When he eats a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A person dies when they are forgotten...»
    Dr. Hiluluk, One Piece, speech before his death

    «All living creatures place their faith in someone more powerful than them and they cannot survive unless they blindly follow that person. The recipient of that faith then seeks out someone in an even higher position in order to escape from the pressure. That person then seeks out someone even more powerful that he must put his faith in. In this way all kings are born and in this way all Gods are born. Do not believe in me yet, Hirako Shinji for now I shall slowly teach you who the God is that you will put your faith in. Believing in me comes after that.»
    Sousuke Aizen, Bleach, after being confronted by Shinji

    «I'm a detective. If I worship anything - it's logic.»

    Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when talking to Harry in a cave where the Salazar's Horcrux resides

    «Who am I? One name you might have for me is the world, or you might call me the universe, or perhaps God, or perhaps the Truth. I am All, and I am One. So, of course, this also means that I am you. I am the truth of your despair, the inescapable price of your boastfulness. And now, I will bestow upon you the despair you deserve.»
    Truth, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, speaking to Edward after crossing The Gate

    «All art is quite useless.»
    Lord Henry Wotton, The Picture of Dorian Gray[/HIDE]

    Tite Kubo, creator of Bleach, when identifying Sousuke Aizen

    «Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.»
    Epicurus
