Quotes / I Just Want to Be Free

"Born
Into a pack
There's no choice
But take orders to attack
Locked up in chains
I get fed
But the HUNGER STILL REMAINS!

Not content to live this way
Being led by the blind
Got to plan my dispersal
Time to LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND!

Breaking out of my pain!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
I'm my own master now!
Bear the mark of my scars!
Shedding blood underneath the stars!
But I will survive somehow!

(RAWR!) Ooooooooohhhhhhhh...
(RAWR!) Ooooooooohhhhhhhh...

Hear me HOWL!
Time to leave them all behind!
I'm my own master now!"

— Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, "I'm My Own Master Now" (Theme of LQ-84i/"Blade Wolf")

"People don’t like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. ‘Don’t run. Don’t walk.’ We’re in their homes and in their heads and we haven’t the right. We’re meddlesome."

— River Song, Serenity

"Dolores... I've been pretending my whole life. Pretending I don't mind, pretending I belong. My life's built on it. And it's a good life, it's a life I always wanted. And then I came here, and I get a glimpse, for a second, of a life in which I don't have to pretend. A life in which I can be truly alive. How can I go back to pretending when I know what this feels like?"

— William, Westworld
