History Quotes / KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords

->'''Kreia:''' My only concern is for the one you escort to Onderon, Mandalorian. Would you do any less for one of your clan?

->'''Mandalore:''' I was at Malachor V! And I remember how many Jedi ''died'' to stop us there! And no matter how many dead orbit the surface of that planet, the Mandalorians still live. Clan Ordo ''still lives''. See Kex there - he was serving on Nar Shaddaa as muscle for the Hutts. Kelborn was a scout for the Duros on frontier worlds. ''I'' brought them here, gave them a purpose. This galaxy ''will'' be ours again. I ''promise'' you. ''That'' is the future.

->''"When I kill, when I dispatch a target, it is not about wanton slaughter. About body count. It is about finesse, function. Doing more with less. It is *art*."''
-->-- '''HK-47, [[LovestheSoundofScreaming on art]].'''

'''G0-T0:''' It made a simple decision -- preserve the Republic, or preserve the laws of the Republic. And I still believe it to be the correct decision. You do not know the indignity of being compelled to save something you do not believe can - or should - be saved. It is *beneath* me.

->''"The force runs strong within you Traya, but in the howling of the storm, it is difficult to hear the whisper of the blade."''

->"There are dark places in the galaxy, where few tread. Ancient centers of learning, of knowledge. But I did not walk alone. To be united by hatred, is a fragile alliance at best. My will was not law. There were disagreements, ambition, and hunger for power. There are techniques within the force, against which there is no defence... I was cast down, stripped of my power, exiled... I suffered... Indignities - and fell into darkness... Learn from me, my mistakes, and use that knowledge to become greater than I. That is all I ask of you, and that is all I desire. In you all my hopes rest, for the future, for the Force."

[[folder:Atton Cracking Wise]]
->"What in space is going on? Who's this? Another Jedi? What, did you guys suddenly start ''breeding'' when I wasn’t looking?"

->'''Atton:''' ''(as he flies the Hawk through the Peragus asteroid belt, dodging turbolaser fire)'' If they hit us, we're dead, but if they keep ''missing'' us, we're dead. That's great odds.\\
'''T3-M4:''' Dwee-Dweeerrrr-bee-DEEEEET!\\
'''Atton:''' Somebody shut that trash compactor up!

->"Well, now that we just killed a planet, maybe one of you can tell me what's going on! Because between assassin droids, a Sith Lord that looks like he sleeps with vibroblades, and being target practice for a Republic warship, I was better off in my cell!"

->'''Kreia:''' But we have spoken long enough - and my wound pains me. If you have other questions, find me in the crew quarters... there, we will speak more.\\
'''Atton:''' Hey, don't stop your long, boring rants on my account. I was just getting sleepy-eyed.\\
'''Kreia:''' ''(walking out of the Hawk's cockpit like a queen)'' Also, in private, we will be mercifully free from the opinions of imbeciles and fools.\\
'''Atton:''' Look, uh, not like I care or anything, but you might want to go check on our passenger - especially with that hand of hers.\\
'''Exile:''' She seemed well enough for someone who'd just lost her hand.\\
'''Atton:''' Are you ''blind''? If I were her, I'd be screaming like a stuck Mynock! Well -- I mean -- a very strong, ''manly'' Mynock.

->'''Mical:''' Do you need a hand?\\
'''Atton:''' No, I don't. Go back to your training. I'll call you if I need someone useless.

->''(as the party nears the Shyrack cave on Korriban)''\\
'''Atton:''' Ugh! What's that stench?!\\
'''Visas:''' Listen -- the wind from the cave tells of great power within... recently awakened.\\
'''Atton:''' Yeees, a great powerful stench!

[[folder:The Exile's Razor Tongue]]
->"Well, lying is lying, even from ''[[MythologyGag a certain point of view.]]''"

->"Give me my ship, or I'll murder everyone here."

->[[PreAssKickingOneLiner "I am here to cleanse this flophouse of all life."]]

->"[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Is that job offer for saving the Republic still open?]]"

->"The next person who calls me a Jedi will be swimming in a pool of their own blood."

->'''Lootra:''' Hey! You picked the wrong room to rob!\\
'''Exile:''' And you picked the wrong day to ''die''.

->'''Atton:''' I have a ''baaad'' feeling about this...\\
'''Exile:''' That ''feeling'' is about to be replaced by blinding pain if you don't shut up!

->'''Exile:''' I went to war to protect the planets we had sworn to defend!\\
'''Atris:''' So your choice was to meet the aggression of the Mandalorians with ''more'' aggression? That is not the Jedi way! \\
'''Exile:''' And the Council's way was to meet aggression with surrender? I'll take my choice every time. \\
'''Atris:''' Every choice we make, whether we know it or not, sends echoes through the force. It can awaken feelings, ignite passions, hate, anger, fear - where none existed before. By meeting aggression, by serving as an opponent against which the Mandalorians could test themselves, you fed their hate, their ''lust for war''! And it sent a ''terrible'' echo through you. And because of it, you and those Jedi who met them on the battlefield lost their way... and you turned on us.\\
'''Exile:''' I did not lose myself in the war... I found myself.

->'''Saqueesh:''' I thought I picked up a new smell in this sector.\\
'''Exile:''' Then maybe you ought to try bathing.

->'''Exile:''' ''(dead serious)'' Keep the money, and use it to build a statue of me, in honour of my heroism...\\
'''Administrator Adare:''' Um... okay. We will build a great statue in your likeness!

->'''Exile:''' The triumph of the Jedi teachings is a cold thing when there is no one left alive to appreciate them.

->"Be careful of charity or kindness, lest you do more harm with open hands than with a clenched fist."

->'''Kreia:''' No, Mandalore. You are wrong. I hope that it is ''you'' who will keep the one I travel with safe. You are loyal, and you have served many masters, even when they abandoned you. Do you wonder where he wanders now, Mandalore? Why he gave you your orders then abandoned you at the edge of the galaxy?
->'''Mandalore:''' ''How'' do you know that?
->'''Kreia:''' I know ''many things'', and I can answer the question that burns within your shell, Mandalore. But there is a ''price''. You must keep the one I travel with safe. She is important to me - more important than anything.

'''Kreia:''' He is a ''fool'' and an ''imbecile''; his potential lies ''downwards'' not up.

->"As you would pass judgement on her, I have come to pass judgement on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars, of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you, you, who have forever seen the galaxy through ''the Force''. See it through the eyes of the Exile. How could you ever hope to know the threat you face, when you have never walked in the dark places of the galaxy, faced ''war'' and ''death'' on such a scale? If you had travelled far enough, rather than waiting for the echo to reach you, perhaps you would have seen it for what it was. Did you not hear its call on Dantooine, Vrook, on its scarred surface and in the minds of settlers? I have endured your corruption of my other students - you shall not have this one. And you, Kavar, so close to the call of Dxun, tell me. Did you not feel what poured from the moon, what had taken place there? And Zez-Kai Ell, to hide upon Nar-Shaddaa, yet blind yourself to all that happens there. So close to understanding the Force... so close to giving it up. There is a place in the galaxy where the Dark Side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fuelled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface, drowns them in the power of the Dark Side - it corrupts all life. And it feeds on death. Revan knew the power of such places... and the power in making them. They can be used to break the will of others... of Jedi, promising them power, and turning them to the Dark Side. Did you never wonder, how Revan corrupted so many of the Jedi, so much of the Republic, so quickly? The Mandalorian Wars were a series of massacres that masked another war, a war of conversion... culminating in a final atrocity that no Jedi could walk away from... save one. And this is what I sought to understand. How one could turn away from such power, give up the Force... and still live? But I see what happened now... It is because you were afraid."

-->''Apathy is death.''

->'''Mandalore:''' I was at Malachor V! And I remember how many Jedi ''died'' to stop us there! And no matter how many dead orbit the surface of that planet, the Mandalorians still live. Clan Ordo still lives. See Kex there - he was serving on Nar Shaddaa as muscle for the Hutts. Kelborn was a scout for the Duros on frontier worlds. ''I'' brought them here, gave them a purpose. This galaxy ''will'' be ours again. I ''promise'' you. ''That'' is the future.

->'''Kreia:''' Ah, yes. The ''great'' crusade - after the first one was ended by Revan and the Jedi. Such a defeat was merciful, an echo of the end, when your ships were in flames, crushed in the grip of Malachor V. But I do nott need to remind you of such things.

->''"Your command echoes still, General. And I obey, as I did at Malachor."''
