Has there ever been a quote from a game that has stuck with you? (alien.top)

There's a quote from Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders that has stuck with me ever since I heard it. For those that have never played, one of the campaigns features a character named Kendal. In the opening scene of his campaign one of his companions gives him something and asks "What should we do?" The reply is a simple "keep moving." I think about this moment a lot when I am uncertain about things. Anyone else have a similar thing?

"Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him... few know the truth. He was mortal once, as were we all. However, his contempt for humanity drove him to create me and my brethren.

I am Raziel, firstborne of his lieutenants. I have served Kain a millennium. The gift continued to evolve; we became less human and more... divine.

Kain would enter a state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honour of surpassing my lord.

For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward: Agony.

There was only one possible outcome: my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings: to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead.

Tumbling, and burning with white-hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the Abyss. Unspeakable pain, relentless agony, time ceased to exist. Only this torture, and a deeping hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell.

An eternity passed, and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me...

...And yet, I lived."
