Guys, there is a quote I would like to share from a novel called Slaughterhouse Five. The book itself is about World War Two (more specifically the Dresden bombings and being a prisoner of war) and time travel. Hence the quote: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference."

Rather apt, don't you think?

I don't know... it's tangentially related to this game at best. Plus, the quote originally came from Reinhold Niebuhr.

Did not know that! Thanks.

Edit: if you are saying the novel is barely related to the game, I agree with you. It is just that that one particular quote seems rather fitting. It is the same with Hamlet: barely related, yet the game starts with a quote from the play. Which goes to show that some themes are universal.

The Hamlet quote has the benefit of actually being referenced in the game, though. Does this one?

Not too sure actually (too much material to explore). What are you on about anyway? I thought the quote was quite interesting to share due to the plot of the game. If you don't like it then we will leave it be.

(I quite like tangential ideas by the way. I do realise they can annoy people, hence I put it on the discussion and not elsewhere. Hope I haven't ruined your day, sorry.)

Happy troping! Sophie

You haven't ruined my day at all! Not even close. I was just under the impression that quotes on works pages have to be actually present in the given work in some way.

Of course they have to be! The quote I shared is just an interesting sidenote, something you might find pencilled in in someone's book. That being said however I will not be surprised if it does get mentioned in this game or the possible sequel. Who knows?

Can we just make the Quantum Break page in Will Joyce style talk?

Self-Demonstrating? Too many pages written like that end up as unreadable messes, please don't.
