History Quotes / MetalGearRisingRevengeance

Everybody advancing together\\
Do so willingly sacrifice rights...\\
When people accept they're cogs in the system,\\

Become a full storm...\\

We can borrow from the future\\
But eventually someone's got to pay\\

Will you fuel the desire to win?\\
Always struggling with the truth\\
Of the life that might have been?\\

The war still rages within...

->"'I have a dream.' That one day every person in this nation will control their own destiny. A land of the truly free, dammit. A nation of ''action'', not words, ruled by ''strength'', not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! ''Fuck American pride! Fuck the media!'' ''FUCK ALL OF IT!'' America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT ''DOWN!'' And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make America ''great again!'' ...In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!"

->''[[ChildSoldier You aren't the only one to grow up on the killing fields]]. War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: [[StrawNihilist that this world, and all of its people, are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns of something even greater: memes, the DNA of the soul.]] They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on. [[TeachHimAnger Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate.]] They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair: all memes, all passed on. You can't fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and [[SocialDarwinist the strong prey upon the weak]]. Sam tells me you see your weapon as a "tool": something that saves lives, a means of justice. Now, there's a pretty meme! ''Exquisite''! It spared you the burden of all the lives you've taken, absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it.
