"But i gave my cat to you. Doesnt that make you the owner?"

Its said by a ghost cat to a cat. The owner in the context is the reason why the alive cat is locked in a series of rooms. I have spent months trying to understand what it means and still cant

A great one from Another Crab's Treasure:

"I'm not-...!! I...I am getting angry, aren't I? I think, maybe, I've been angry the whole time. Ever since I left the tide pool. I never wanted to be. Everyone else seems angry all the time. I didn't want to be like that. But I can't help it! Not when people like you always get everything you want, and other people get hurt for it! It's not fair! And I'm really strong now, strong enough to stop you from making things worse!...I think I get what Chitan meant now. If I'm gonna be angry, I might as well use it for something good! So that maybe, one day, other people won't have to fight like me! And what better way to start than to beat up a SELFISH...GREEDY...MUSSEL SHUCKER LIKE YOU!!"

This song is new to me, but i am honoured to be a part of it.

I don't know if it's my "favourite" but I remember how hilarious it was the first time I heard that original Resident Evil line about "you, the master of unlocking". Granted, at the time I assumed it was all intentional B-grade horror movie parody.

“Sometimes the jackal steals the lion’s share; but don’t tell anyone.”

You big stupid jellyfish!

You're not really a Polish person if you can't recite every single dialogue from Gothic 1 and 2.

All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!

"your whole life was a failure and soon no one will remember you. Turn your face into the sun and think about that"

"We sense... something... something ancient... a sickly smell... a chilling wind.

My ancestors scream from within their chambers in my mind

but I cannot understand their words.

This feeling... a memory? It sickens us, and for the first time in our lives

for the first time in generations

We fear."

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy.

“Did you just say 'nerd'?"

"If you can't stand the heat, go put your tiny balls in the freezer."

This always stuck with me. From Braid. Particularly the bonded paragraphs. I added the whole section for completeness.

Tim is off on a search to rescue the Princess. She has been snatched by a horrible and evil monster. This happened because Tim made a mistake.

Not just one. He made many mistakes during the time they spent together, all those years ago. Memories of their relationship have become muddled, replaced wholesale, but one remains clear: the princess turning sharply away, her braid lashing at him with contempt.

He knows she tried to be forgiving, but who can just shrug away a guilty lie, a stab in the back? Such a mistake will change a relationship irreversibly, even if we have learned from the mistake and would never repeat it. The princess's eyes grew narrower. She became more distant.

Our world, with its rules of causality, has trained us to be miserly with forgiveness. By forgiving too readily, we can be badly hurt. But if we've learned from a mistake and become better for it, shouldn't we be rewarded for the learning, rather than punished for the mistake?

What if our world worked differently? Suppose we could tell her: 'I didn't mean what I just said,' and she would say: 'It's okay, I understand,' and she would not turn away, and life would really proceed as though we had never said that thing? We could remove the damage but still be wiser for the experience.

Tim and the Princess lounge in the castle garden, laughing together, giving names to the colorful birds. Their mistakes are hidden from each other, tucked away between the folds of time, safe.

Kane of course was just paraphrasing 1984.

"I'm a coffee achiever, Sam!"

"Suffer like G did?"

Chingada madre!

It’s probably not a problem… probably

"Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart, he dreams himself your master."

From Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, which is full of banger quotes

I don't want this life...

I don't know if its my favorite, but man it hits hard hearing that.

That's alright, I believe him.

"They... She will not be cured. All that suffering... I am no longer sure it was of any use. If it meant anything at all. I can't say if this newfound understanding... If there's any wisdom to be had in all that happened. I suppose that's for you to learn. And I hope you will." - Silent Hill 2 Remake

Gives me conniptions

You spoony bard!
