->''There's more to the [[TokenGoodTeammate Void Engineers]] than endless war (though you wouldn't know it to hear some of the Border Corpsmen bitch in a bar). We fight to keep the flame of exploration alive in the hearts and minds of the Masses. Because if they don't dream of the stars, we'll lose everything. Every Void Engineer beyond the Biospheric Horizon is there [[BoldExplorer because he or she dreamed of being there]]. And we lose good people every day. If we don't keep inspiring, we'll lose everything we've worked for since the [[WellIntentionedExtremist Order of Reason]] formed. If we don't keep inspiring, there is no future for humanity, whether up among the stars or down on the mudball.''

->''The [[PlayfulHacker Virtual Adepts]] want to bring wonder back to the world. They plan on doing this by [[RewritingReality coding people's dreams into Reality 2.0]] - not as [[HiddenElfVillage an escape route or hiding place]], but as a beacon of hope for everyone. Everybody who codes knows that you test your programs before you take them online. Get R2.0 up and running, then download it to realtime. Then, and only then, will the Dream come alive.''

->The High Elves were reduced to fighting a guerrilla war in their own land while the servants of Darkness reigned everywhere. But now a new rumour filled all ears: a sorcerer was abroad and [[OneManArmy no-one could stand against him]]. He was a pale youth who wore the [[CoolCrown War Crown of Saphery]]. Where he walked, [[HorrifyingTheHorror the Dark Elves trembled]], [[TheArchmage for he commanded the powers of magic as if born to them]]. His words summoned lightning. He cast down monsters and destroyed Chaos warriors with a word. The Slaaneshi Champion Alberecht Numan challenged him to a duel, but he and all his followers were in an instant reduced to dust. He intervened at the battle of Hathar Ford and slew Ferik Kasterman's Coven of Ten - the most feared Tzeetchian sorcerers of the day. These were small victories, but in those days of darkness, they gave the High Elves hope. Hope was what the folk of Ulthuan's many kingdoms desperately needed.

->'''Hackett''': Shepard, let me tell you something that I've learned the hard way. You can pay a soldier to fire a gun. You can pay him to charge the enemy and take a hill. But you can't pay him to believe.\\
'''Shepard''': ...I don't follow, sir.\\
'''Hackett''': When you went up against Sovereign, there was no good reason to believe you'd win. But your crew didn't seem to care -- they went along anyway. Your trip through the Omega 4 relay? That was a suicide mission if there ever was one. Yet there your crew was, standing beside you, proud to serve. With all you're facing out there, one thing impresses me most: you inspire confidence. I know everything hasn't gone as well as you'd hoped. Every war has its disagreements, so to speak. But... Your crew has done things no one else would even try -- simply because you asked them to. Why? Because they believed in you. Their leader. That's what I need now.

I had pretty much written us all off. But that was before a certain kid from Vault 101... [[BrutalHonesty I've always given it to you straight, have I not?]] For good or ill, Galaxy News Radio has been the voice of truth on these airwaves. So believe me when I tell you that I was wrong. Dead wrong. That kid from Vault 101 is the last, best hope of humanity. We'll get through this, children. You just gotta believe."''

->'''Lord Ruler:''' I killed you, once.\\

-->-- '''Scarecrow''', ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight''

->''I remember the day after my son died. The entire underground was devoid of hope. The future had once again been taken from us by the humans. In a fit of anger, I declared war. I said that I would destroy any human that came here. I would use their souls to become godlike...and free us from this terrible prison. Then, I would destroy humanity...And let monsters rule the surface, in peace. Soon, the people's hopes returned. My wife, however, became disgusted with my actions. She left this place, never to be seen again. Truthfully... I do not want power. I do not want to hurt anyone. I just wanted everyone to have hope...I cannot take this any longer. I just want to see my wife. I just want to see my child...''
