If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
(If - By Rudyard Kipling)
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
(Invictus - Ernst Henley)
Incredible levels of badassery and awesome...

Look at you - sat on your throne of skulls atop a pile of bones. Your ember is crumbling to ash at your feet and the blood of a thousand peasants, blood that YOU have spilled, now washes it away. While you sit in the fires of divine madness - the coldness of the end closes in step by step - YOUR reign is falling and the people are rising as their own champions.

Some smexy 40k quotes. Do not waste your tears. I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men. - Unknown It’s often remarked that diplomacy is just warfare by other means. Our battles are no less desperate for being bloodless, but at least we get wine and finger food. - Tollen Ferlang, Imperial Envoy to the Realm of Ultramar, 564-603 M41 I have followed you too far to fail now Ghazghkull Thraka. I bear the gift of death. You cannot outrun me. There's no place in this universe where you can hide. I have waited a long time for vengeance. I'm tired but not so tired I cannot kill you. Maybe then I won't see the faces of the dead. Maybe then I'll be able to sleep. - Commissar Yarrick before the Battle for Golgotha An open mind is like a fortress with it's gates unbarred and open... -Psycher Tiberius

Mr. Orange: What happens if the manager won't give you the diamonds? Mr. White: When you're dealing with a store like this, they're insured up the ass. They're not supposed to give you any resistance whatsoever. If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says fucking shit after that. You might get some bitch talk shit to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next, watch her shut the fuck up. Now if it's a manager, that's a different story. Managers know better than to fuck around, so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. I'm hungry. Let's get a taco. -Reservoir Dogs
I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip. -Patrick Bateman, American Psycho
O to be a dragon, a symbol of the power of Heaven — of silkworm size or immense; at times invisible. Felicitous phenomenon! -Marianne Moore, "O To Be A Dragon"
"I'm the Windbringer; I'm the Waterstiller; I'm April Bandu-Embata of the Banda and a Venar Kan-ang-la. I'm a shifter. I will someday become the 13th Guardian, the protector of the Balance. And I'm April Ryan. This is who I am." -April Ryan, The Longest Journey

"To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand in line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best: we die standing." -General Sturnn, Dawn of War: Winter Assault

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present Max Payne. New York's Finest, with the biggest mobster bodycount ever. Dearest guests, prepare to die... Max, I'd love to come and welcome you but I'm busy dodging bullets and hiding under a desk at the moment." -Vladimir Lem, Max Payne 2.

Spoilerssssss!
Cain's Last Stand
Earlier in the book, on of Cain's students, Commissar Cadet Donal, is brainwashed by a psyker, managing to fight off the psyker's power long enough to give the HERO OF THE IMPERIUM some vital information before asking him to "Kick his [the psyker's] ass for me." shooting himself before he falls back unto his brainwashed state. Later, Cain is engaging in single combat with said psyker, luring him over to the edge of the building they are fighting atop before ducking behind him, stating
"Commissar Donal send his regards."
before literally kicking his ass, knocking him over the edge of the building to his death.

Remember, if the emperor looks naked, the emperor IS naked.- Daria
There are many types of monsters in this world. Monsters who will not show themselves or cause trouble. Monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who drink human blood, and monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nusicance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans, even though they have no understanding of the human heart, they eat even though they've never experienced hunger, they study even though they have no interest in academics, they seek freindship, even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it.
Because in truth, I am that monster. -L

Ambassador: You can not attack Z'ha'dum! No one has ever succeeded. Ships go there and never return. Lives are wasted. Sheridan died trying to attack Z'ha'dum. No one who goes there returns back alive! [enter John Sheridan from right] Ambassador: ...Captain... We're sorry. We thought you were dead. John Sheridan: I was. I'm better now.
Oh my dawg, Babylon 5 is the awesome.

I think this "Watchmen" quote describes the state of our economy pretty well.
Comedian: What happened to the American dream? It came true. You're looking at it.
