Meme: Quotes
If I'm not mistaken we haven't done this one since 2016.
Here's how this works: tag in (under the appropriate journal) with canon quotes from your characters. No (or little) context, just the quotes -- individually if you want, or several in one comment.
People can tag in to those threads and either guess the context/situation, or ask you what it's about, or just comment on the quotes. This way we can all have a little amusement, dork about our canon a little, and maybe get in a little canon pimping on the side.
As always, don't forget to keep checking in and see what new stuff's gone up!

“Luxury always comes at someone else’s expense. One of the many advantages of civilization is that one doesn’t generally have to see that, if one doesn’t wish. You’re free to enjoy its benefits without troubling your conscience.”

“How comforting,' I replied, my voice and my expression steadily serious, 'to think that in these difficult times God is still concerned with the details of the housing assignments. I myself have no time to discuss them just now.”

“I’ve found that not eating is generally a bad decision,”

“many of the Ychana’s problems would be remedied if only they became better citizens.” “Just how good a citizen does one have to be,” I asked, “in order to have water and air, and medical help?”

“The way provincial is an insult. Except what am I?” Seivarden, still shocked, didn’t answer. “Every time you use that word, provincial, every time you make some remark about someone’s low-class accent or unsophisticated vocabulary, you remind me that I’m provincial, that I’m low-class. That my accent and my vocabulary are hard work for me. [...] And when you say things meant to compliment me, to tell me I’m not like any of that, it just reminds me that I don’t belong here. And it’s always something small but it’s every day.”
Seivarden would have pulled back, but she was already firmly against the wall, and Ekalu had no room to move away herself withut getting out of bed entirely. "You never said anything before. [...] If it's so terrible why haven't you said anything until now?"

"Ugh. As places of higher learning go, this one has got to be the scariest."
"Towers ought to be towering. I approve."
"Is that Revan? Impressive secret shrine thingy."
"Good thing I'm not afraid of heights. Or invading a hostile Sith compound, for that matter."
"Man, I could make a fortune in here. You think maybe I can just take a little... no? Okay, okay."
"If we don't get out of the sun soon, I'm gonna turn purple."
"Did I ever mention I have a fear of dying from radiation exposure?" -- Of course, immediately after she said this one in my current playthrough, her AI glitched out and she threw herself down an elevator shaft, thanks for that one, Bioware.

"I'm in a cabin, in the middle of no where. Inside, it's just me, and that stupid, slimy defense attorney. And I'm beating the hell out of him. Then I rip off his arm and stick it where the sun don't shine. Then I reach down his throat...and shake his hand."
"I've only said ‘I love you’ to three people: my mom, my dad, and my dying grandpa, and one of those I regret.....My grandpa. He beat Cancer so now I look like an idiot.”

"I’m up to my fuckin’ knees in this quagmire, alright?! It’s a slopdolly of epic proportions!"
"Let’s get you to a bath house. You were eating dirt about ten minutes ago… said it was snow."
"I cast Regret."
"Is that single horse a, uh...a mustang?"
"Crap fire. Slopdolly."
"They call me eagle eye Fjord where I come from. [cawing] Crow Fjord, maybe raven, you don't know."
"Don't be embarrassed to apologize. It takes a big person to apologize for something."
"Did you just say I've been with your mom??!!"
And this exchange will always give me life:
Jester: Do you think you’re slowly turning into water?
Fjord: ... No. I hadn’t considered that terrifying thought. But thanks. Um... I’ll just add that to the fuckin’ list.
Jester: If you feel like it’s happening, let us know, and we’ll try to catch you in a jar.

First off, from the first episode, disaster lesbian’s gonna disaster right out of the gate:
Beau: Hey, Yasha. ‘cause I was totally on your shoulder I heard you talking about my friend Jester?
Yasha: Oh. Shit.
Beau: No, dude, no, she’s never mentioned a significant other, so, I mean —
Yasha: I didn’t mean anything by it, I just —
Beau: Will you hold me through the show? Like, cradle me?
Yasha: That’s an extra charge. We do do that, though.
Beau: How much?
Yasha: Oh, well . . . it’s an extra five gold pieces.
Beau: Five GOLD?
Yasha: These arms are worth a lot.
Oh, and here’s a heartbreaker:
“Do y'all remember what Molly said a few weeks ago when he told us that he left every town better than what he found it? When he first told me that, I remember that my first initial kneejerk reaction was, “You fucking arrogant, narcissistic bastard, no one can fucking know that.” He was an arrogant bastard, but he was right and do you know how I know? We had a conversation last night when we were up for watch, and he asked me what my greatest lie was and we pulled fucking cards for it. Loser would go first.
He told me this story about tricking a town into thinking he was royalty, being a king, to pull off a scam. I was almost going to tell him about my childhood, and I didn’t. Because he told that fucking story and I realized: even in his scams, when he was doing something shitty, he was still making people feel good or feel special. The town was being visited by– graced by his presence, by his royal highness. And I told him this story of ruining a couple’s lives by extorting them because I fucking could. Because I fucking felt like it. I realized if I can deliberately leave a town shittier than what I found it, of course he could fucking leave a town better than what he found it.
And I’m not going to do that again. I’m not saying that I’m going to go off and be a fucking hero, but maybe we can equal out and I can at least not fuck any more shit up. Take baby steps towards the leaving the town better… thing. That’s the least I can do for him. And I’m going to start with these fuckheads.”

Liam: Why?
Augur: Well, it's just that- Oh. How do I explain? Usually, by your age, we wouldn't have to have this conversation, but. Okay. You have a man, like you, and a woman, like Lili... uh, I think you're going to have to figure this one out for yourself.
*later*
Augur: I bet Liam here that you two were talking about men...
Liam: No, you said they were talking about sex.
Suzanne: So, you haven't been in Washington long, then?
Liam: Would you believe it feels like I was born yesterday?
Suzanne: You must've been born an old soul, then.
Liam: Oh, you have *no* idea.

"Why can't you just swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"
"There's no such thing as negative friends. You just made one friend and one enemy!"
"Great, the gang's all here. Now we can all die together."
"YES! I love it when you're feisty!"
"Oh my gosh does 'every' father figure have the same three condescending phrases?"
"Hey, we've got a plan! That's... moderately serious."
"I'm sorry, I just... I don't think you know what it's like to be left. You have a giant family, recitals to perform at, dinners to attend. I didn't have any of that. My mom left me. Ruby's mom left too. Tai was always busy with school and Ruby couldn't even talk yet. I had to pick up the pieces. I had to keep things together. Alone."
"You can spout off whatever you want, but nothing is going to keep me from my sister."
