"There's a land called Lillipoppy, and living there is the Lillipop! I'll go there soon with Mr. Bubbles, and we'll search the place from tail to top. And if we find no Tattlelambie, and if I eye no Porkinot, perhaps we'll dine on ham and jammie, if we can't find the Lillipop!"
-Little sisters
"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'it belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'it belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'it belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor; where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality; where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."
-Andrew Ryan
"It wasn't impossible to build Rapture at the bottom of the sea. It was impossible to build it anywhere else."
-Andrew Ryan
"I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful in each of us, a combination of our efforts, a great chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interests that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you differently either has his hand in your pocket or a pistol to your neck."
-Andrew Ryan
"What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds, a parasite asks, 'Where's my share?' A man creates, a parasite says, 'What will the neighbors think?' A man invents, a parasite says, 'Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of God...'"
-Andrew Ryan
"On the surface, the Parasite expects the doctor to heal them for free, the farmer to feed them out of charity. How little they differ from the pervert who prowls the streets, looking for a victim he can ravish for his grotesque amusement."
-Andrew Ryan
"Even in the book of lies, sometimes you find truth. There is indeed a season for all things. And, now that I see you flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood, I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this: you are my greatest disappointment."
-Andrew Ryan
"I can hear that Splicer sounding off like it's the Fourth of July!"
-Atlas
"You might hear things about me...see my name about. Think what you will. There was a time when I cared about politics, but it's just an excuse men use to kill one another. I'm done with all that. I just want to see the sunlight again."
-Atlas
"I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. These people will liberate themselves."
-Atlas
"Hate to see you this way, kid. Hell, I was there when you were born. You ever had a dog you gotta put down? Breaks your heart"
-Frank Fontaine
"That Tenenbaum ain't what you think. Florence Nightingale, huh? That'll all come crashing down 'fore you can say "canned tomatoes". I've seen good bunco, and I've seen great bunco. But, when you waltz through Rapture and World War Two without even a scratch? You got more than leprechauns watching over you."
-Frank Fontaine
"You think you're some kind of hero? I ordered you up from Suchong like a Chinese dinner: a little from Column A, a little from Column B. What do you plan on going back to? Your fake family? Your phony dreams? Putting you out of your misery will be the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you."
-Frank Fontaine
"I know why you've come, little moth. You've your own canvas. One you'll paint with the blood of a man I once loved. Yes. I'll send you to Ryan; but first, you must be part of my masterpiece. Go to the Atrium. Hurry now! My muse is a fickle bitch, with a very short attention span!"
-Sander Cohen
"You flutter all around the Fort, taking life as you go. You're not a moth...you're an angel. I've never painted an angel...maybe, I should."
-Sander Cohen
"That's three of four...what's that look? You don't like it, do you? I don't need to be judged by you...by anyone! Screw you! Screw all you fucking doubters! Here's what I say to all of you!!"
-Sander Cohen
"The Wild Bunny, by Sander Cohen. I want to take the ears off, but I can't. I hop, and when I hop, I never get off the ground. It's my curse, my eternal curse. I want to take the ears off, but I can't! It's my curse, it's my fucking curse! I want to take the ears off! Please, take them off! PLEEEEEEEASE!!"
-Sander Cohen
"I could have been the toast of Broadway, the talk of Hollywood: but, instead, I followed you, to this soggy bucket. When you needed my starlight, I illuminated you! But now I rot, waiting for an audience that doesn't...ever...come. I'm writing something for you, Andrew Ryan...it's a requiem."
-Sander Cohen
"When Picasso became bored of painting people, he started representing them as cubes and other abstract forms. The world called him a genius! I've spent my entire surgical career creating the same tired shapes, over and over again: the upturned nose, the cleft chin, the ample bosom. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could do with a knife...what that old Spaniard did with a brush?"
-Dr.J.S. Steinman
"Why do we have two eyes? Is there some law that says we must? Two arms, two legs, two ears, two breasts..."
-Dr.J.S. Steinman
"What can I do with this one, Aphrodite? She WON'T -- STAY -- STILL! I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out wrong! That one: too fat. This one: too tall! This one: too symmetrical! And now -- What's this, Goddess? ...An intruder! He is ugly -- ugly! Ugly! UGGGGGLLLYYY!!"
-Dr.J.S. Steinman
"I will show you what it's like to look different!;Even miles underwater...He still sees everything!;I'll wrap you in a sheet..."

"A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him"
-About MC
"You are the last of your kind: bred for combat, built for war. You're the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy"
-About MC

" I have defied Gods and Demons.
I am your shield; I am your sword.
I know you: your past, your future.
This is the way the world ends."

"They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. [a yellow comet appears in the sky and slowly streaks across the screen] You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. [a smaller comet breaks off from the main one] Something else no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck. [the smaller comet suddenly plummets down to the earth and crashes off-screen. The scene fades to black] ...Was I wrong?"

"Let me turret! You suck at it."

"The omen was foretold, and now we have a fear more grave. Today I saw the day become like night. I saw a man run with the jaguar. We must not let this man make feet from us."
-Snake Ink
"You fear me? So you should. All you who are vile. Would you like to know how you will die? The sacred time is near. Beware the blackness of day. Beware the man who brings the jaguar. Behold him reborn from mud and earth. For the one he takes you to will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth. Scratch you out. And end your world. He's with us now. Day will be like night. And the man jaguar will lead you to your end."
-Oracle girl
"These are the days of our great lament. The land thirsts. A great plague infests our crops. The scourge of sickness afflicts at whim. They say this strife has made us weak. That we have become empty. They say that we rot.
Great people of the banner of the sun... I say... we are strong. We are a people of destiny. Destined to be the masters of time. Destined to be nearest to the gods."
-High Priest
"O warrior, unafraid and willing, with your blood you renew the world! From age to age! Thanks be to you. "
-High Priest
"And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

"On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head began to hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing."

"My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me. Even in my dreams, I'm an idiot who knows he's about to wake up to reality. If I could only avoid sleep. But I can't. I try to tell myself what to dream. I try to dream that I am flying. Something free. It never works..."
