Quotes / Villain's Dying Grace

"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark by the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost... in time. Like... tears in the rain. Time... to die."

— Roy Batty to Deckard after saving his life, Blade Runner

I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers' flames. Their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and razed in the time that it takes your mortal hearts to beat once. Yet all throughout, my own heart, devoid of emotion... of empathy. I... have... felt... NOTHING! A million, million lives wasted. Had they all held within them your tenacity? Had they all loved life as you do? Perhaps it is your imperfection that which grants you free will. That allows you to persevere against all cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed. I've rearranged the reply code. Your planet will be spared. I cannot be certain of my own calculations anymore. I lack the strength to transmit the signal. You must hurry. Find a place of power close to the skies. Do not worry about my fate, Bronzen. If the signal is not transmitted in time re-origination will proceed regardless. Save. Your. World.

— Algalon the Observer, World of Warcraft

Rat: Never.

I pant for life. Some good I mean to do
Despite of mine own nature.

— Edmund, King Lear

I am damaged, far too damaged,
But you're not beyond repair;
Stick around here, make things better,
'Cause you beat me fair and square...

— Heathers, "I Am Damaged"

Ahaha... No dice after all... Pathetic... after all I did... Maybe I should've believed in everyone... ...Miss Sara... There's actually just one thing wrong in your reasoning... And I'll... tell you what it... is... My final... present...

— Sou Hiyori, Your Turn to Die

It seems after all I couldn't be anything more than a simple puppet. But you three, you're strong. With a power like that... Maybe you three can break your own strings. Let me become your strength.

— Spamton, Deltarune
