--> ''Ed:''' They hurt my baby brother. They left him in a pile of mud for days, then made Katniss gamble with his life. Then they tried to get her to murder him because they thought it would be great entertainment to watch two kids who love each other fight to the death. They're rabid and they need to be put down.

** He makes a similarly succinct-but-powerful speech when he refuses to retreat from the true villain of ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'':
-->'''Sonic:''' It was never about chivalry for me! I’ve just gotta do what I’ve gotta do! That’s all!

* ''VideoGame/MegaManZXAdvent'': After [[SchrodingersPlayerCharacter Grey/Ashe]] have a [[DuelingPlayerCharacters fight with previous playable protagonists Aile/Vent]] and clear up their misunderstandings, they ask why they're fighting the villains and [[ArtifactOfDoom Model W]]. Aile/Vent briefly explain that, [[NotSoDifferentRemark much like them]], they were [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive dragged into the fight]] and they lost many close people in the fights with Mavericks and Model Ws. Grey/Ashe therefore initially think it's about {{revenge}}, but Aile/Vent set the record straight and provide a bit of wisdom about their juniors' reasons for fighting.
-->'''Aile:''' No... I just don't want anymore people to suffer like I have. So I decided to destroy all Model Ws in order to put an end to the Game of Destiny. I decided to become a Mega Man because I wanted to help people. You're fighting because you're trying to find out who you are, but don't forget. Only you can decide your own destiny. No matter what anyone says you are. The power you contain within is the key to creating your future. That's what a special person said to me.\\
'''Grey:''' My destiny... My future.\\
'''Vent:''' No. You can't defeat an enemy with hate... You just make more enemies. I want to use my power for something I believe in. That's why I made that promise to my friends, to be the Mega Man that protects them. Mega Man power is strong. Strong enough to change the world. But, there's one thing it can't change... that is our own destiny. You have to use your own power to do that. Ashe... Don't lose yourself in the power.\\
'''Ashe:''' How can you even say that and keep a straight face... But I like that... Those are good words to live by.

->''"Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind.''"

-->'''Kyril:''' When I came here, I wanted nothing to do with the war. All I had wanted was to be left alone so I could suffer my memories in solitude. Until I learned what Vault planned for every single man, woman and child. The women and children slaves and men who resisted his regime dead or dying. Yharnam was dead long before I came here. Eostia is war torn but she still has a chance for peace.\\

-->'''Claudius''': They ask, we give, and they take, that's the way it goes. But they just keep asking and just keep taking, and one day they'll take something you didn't want to give. Something so bad it's worse than marching kids to their deaths every year. One day you're going to walk away. Take me with you.

-->'''Gwen:''' You're a good cop, Dad. You know you put on that badge because you know that if you don't, someone who shouldn't will. But... you have to understand: ''(Holds up her mask)'' '''this''' mask is my badge! And I'm trying to be good too. I was trying so hard to wear this thing the way you would want... and I didn't! I didn't! I can do all of these things, but I can't help the people I love the most and they can only know half of who I am, so I- I'm completely on my own! And now, I don't- I don't even know what the right thing is anymore. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but I know... I can't lose one more friend.

'''Kombirr:''' No what mom? [[WeAllDieSomeday We all die, life does not go on forever.]] [[YouTaughtMeThat You taught me that]] the reason we fight, the reason we keep the shrines and honor the fallen, is because the goal of the fight is freedom.
