5	->'''Edward Grey''': Listen, old man, your counsel was useful, I'll be the first to admit. But must your every utterance be so cryptic? Speak plainly for once. Why did you insist that ''I'' was the only one capable of stopping Giurescu?\
6	'''Mohlomi''': It isn't a matter of being capable. I said that ''you'' must be the one to prevent the great evil from awakening. There was a lesson for you to learn. [[VaguenessIsComing One that you will need in the coming days.]]

13	->'''Twilight''': Yes, but... you know that I'm the only one that can find the cure.  You can't help them.
14	->'''Lero''': That, I take as a ''challenge,'' my dear Miss Sparkle.
15	-->-- ''Fanfic/DividedRainbow''

17	->'''Link:''' The sword and its guardian... everything I've learned from them makes me believe. That the Hero is made, not born. That what matters most is...\
18	'''Zelda:''' It is all right to talk about what you've done. I promise that I will not think you are self-aggrandizing.\
19	'''Link:''' What matters most is a willingness to do what needs to be done. There have been times when the Calamity returned and everyone was afraid. Then, only one person was willing to even try to take up the sword. But there are times--like now--where ''many'' people want to protect Hyrule. Protect their families. Protect... everyone. I thought that the person who took up the sword would be the best fighter, the most fearless... but that's almost never the case.\
20	'''Zelda:''' ''[nods]''\
21	'''Link:''' Nobody ''really'' knows what makes a person more likely to be the Hero, or else we'd train for that quality. Even the sword and its guardians only meet those who have already proven themselves. I thought it would be me, because I've always been a good fighter... But that's not why. And while I was training, I found something besides strength to drive me.\
22	'''Zelda:''' What was it?\
23	'''Link:''' You.\
24	'''Zelda:''' ...Me?\
25	''[beat]''\
26	'''Zelda:''' ''[struggling to remain calm]'' Please. Please explain what you mean.\
27	'''Link:''' [[TheChosenOne You didn't have a choice. Your fate was decided by your blood]]. It didn't matter if you were strong, weak, wise, foolish... you had to do it. You ''had'' to.\
28	'''Zelda:''' I haven't done it yet! I haven't done ''anything'' yet!\
29	'''Link:''' In the times when everyone was afraid, someone rose out of necessity, because no one else would. It's supposed to have been harder for them. They were less suited to it, but Ganon returned anyway, they had to fight him anyway. And I realized... if somebody didn't step up... if somebody was less suited, but took up the Master Sword... Anyone who can draw the sword is suited. But ''anyone'' can draw the sword. And whoever it was, I didn't want them to...\
30	'''Zelda:''' Say it. Whatever it is, say it.\
31	'''Link:''' You've been hurting for such a long time. So, if I'd never wanted to be a fighter... if I wasn't good at it... and they told me I had to be a knight anyway? I would have looked to you. I would have thought of fighting alongside you. Of holding you up. And I would have done everything the same.

37	->''"My husband, Peter Parker… was an ordinary person. He always said it could've been anyone behind the mask. He was just the kid who happened to get bit. He didn't ask for his powers, but he chose to be Spider-Man. My favorite thing about Peter… is that he made us each feel powerful. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility We all have powers of one kind or another. But in our own way, we are all Spider-Man. And we're all counting on you.]]"''

44	'''Rey:''' Nowhere.\
45	'''Luke:''' No one's from nowhere.\
46	'''Rey:''' Jakku.\
47	'''Luke:''' [[{{Touche}} All right, that is pretty much nowhere.]]

49
50	->'''Kylo Ren''': Do you want to know the truth about your parents? Or have you always known? Have you just hidden it away? You know the truth. Say it. Say it. \
51	'''Rey''': They were nobody.\
52	'''Kylo Ren''': They were filthy junk traders, who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead, in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing. [[WeCanRuleTogether ...But not to me.]]

61
62	->'''Harry:''' But, sir, it all comes to the same thing, doesn't it? I've got to try and kill him, or--\
63	'''Dumbledore:''' Got to? Of course you've got to! But not because of the prophecy! Because you, yourself, will never rest until you've tried! We both know it! Imagine, please, just for a moment, that you had never heard the prophecy! How would you feel about Voldemort now? Think!\
64	'''Harry:''' I'd want him finished. [[ItsPersonal And I'd want to do it.]]
65	-->-- ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince''
66
67	->'''Sam:''' It shouldn't have to be you all the time.\
68	'''Antimony:''' It isn't. It's just that this sort of thing happens a lot more often than anyone realizes. There's not a chosen one. There never was. There's just people, all over the world, trying their best to make sure the sun comes up tomorrow. We do the job because we know the job exists, and once you know the job exists, it's hard to pretend it doesn't matter.

78	-> '''Dawn:''' I guess I kinda lost my head when I thought I was the slayer.
79	-> '''Xander:''' You thought you were all special. Miss Sunnydale 2003. And the minute you found out you weren't, [[PassingTheTorch you handed the crown to Amanda without a moment's pause]]. You gave her your power.
80	-> '''Dawn:''' The power wasn't mine.
81	-> '''Xander:''' They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're ''extraordinary''.

91	-> '''Calliope:''' Holy cow... There's... No prophecy about you whatsoever.\
92	[...]\
93	'''Bard:''' What does that mean?\
94	'''Calliope:''' I don't even know! Usually you at least see ''something...'' You're for sure NOT the hero foretold... But I guess you're not NOT a hero? Destiny just has no expectations for you at all.

Not just her strength, but I... I guess I liked knowing that I had a destiny. ...But it ''wasn't'' my destiny to be She-Ra, was it? It was random. Light Hope brought me through the portal because she needed to use the weapon. That's the only reason I'm here. ...I don't know what my destiny is anymore. But I know my friends need my help. I guess I'll just figure it out from there. ...Thanks for everything."''
