Grace: If I went back and... became your daughter again... when would I be given the power you're talking about?
The Big Man: Now?
Grace: At once.
The Big Man: Why not?
Grace: So that would mean that I'd also take on the immediate responsibility, at once? I'd be a part of the problem solving. Like the problem... of Dogville.
The Big Man: We can start by shooting the dog and nailing it to a wall, over there beneath that lamp, for example. Well, it might help - it sometimes does...
Grace: It would only make the town more frightened, but hardly make it a better place. And it could happen again: somebody happening by, revealing... their frailty. That's what I want to use the power for, if you don't mind: I want to make this world... a little better.

The Rapture dream is over, and in waking I am reborn. You may not have wanted me, father, but you defined me. You chose to survive, no matter the cost, and I will not let your instincts go to waste. You'll always be with me father, your memories, your drives; when I need you, you'll be there whispering from my shoulder. There is no name for what I am, but the world is about to change. And with your help, they will never see me coming...
—Eleanor Lamb, in the evil ending of Bioshock 2
I am here to finish my father's work: as he baptized me with water, I shall baptize the Sodom Below with fire, and prepare it for the coming of the Lord! Are we worth saving if we will not save ourselves? There will be no salvation until the fire floods the cities and covers the plains! Once this world has been born again, a million others wait their turn.
— Elizabeth Comstock, Bioshock Infinite
I had to dig deep to uncover what my father really wanted me to find. In the process, I realized what he was trying to tell me: this house was nothing but a tomb. There was nothing for me here, no answers, no solace, no closure. My true inheritance lay within. And then, just like that, it finally happened: for the first time in my life... I saw the world through my father's eyes.
I was once told insanity runs in my family.
Let it run.
—The Artist's Daughter, Layers of Fear: Inheritance

Anevka: Father always said that if Providence hands you a powerless scapegoat - it is a sin not to use him. Right?
Tarvek: Father was not what I'd call an exemplary role model.
