- Icara to a passenger on a doomed vehicle

"Our future lies ahead, in these volcanic plains and beyond. If we fail, at least we will die honorably. But, if we succeed, we will become gods and our names will be remembered long after we die.

- Raanu-G to Riff

"My servants are many, scattered throughout thousands of civilizations and hundreds of organizations, ranging from the Brotherhood of Makuta to the Order of Mata Nui. You are foolish to believe that eliminating me will stop my allies from altering history, as they will simply adapt to their losses in no time. My servants are undetectable, untraceable, and unstoppable. And to make things even better, no one knows who they are. They could range from being your greatest of enemies to your closest of friends, proving that no matter where you flee, no matter how hidden you are, no matter how secure you may be, you will never be truly safe from me."

I most definitely can get past the teleportation shield, and unless my vision is faulty, I don’t look much like nothing, do I?"

- Antidax and Nightwatcher

"You will feel the sting of death, in the shadow of his wake, as once warmth ran though your veins, is soon replaced by the feeling of winters chill. You will close your eyes, and hide your face, so as to block his visage from you sight. And at last, you will scream for air, but your lungs will fill with blood."

- Lord Zorron describing Serrakaan

"Get your filthy hands off my arms or I shall remove them from yours. You have three seconds. One... two..."

- Nightwatcher to a Gigas Magna Resistance member

"I cry to think of the dark memory that she has become: the deep, black pit that was torn in my heart when she was taken away, the screams I hear in the darkness that are chased away by the cold left there. The eyes I looked into when all else was lost, the warmth of her hand clutched in mine, the love I felt just by the sound of her voice, the hope I had when I was with her, to all be torn away in one moment. He has changed me. He has made me stronger. But I will never forget what he had to do to take away my hope for the life of a true Toa, as one who could not be corrupted, no matter how dark, or hopeless things seemed. All he did was take her away, and then all light fell from me, and all hope was chased away."

- Ellendiss describing the moment when Serrakaan took the one he loved away from him

"My original powers were healing, light, and life. But when my brothers, the Great Beings, saw my raw power, they feared me and banished me from their perfect world. Over time I managed to escape, due to an idiotic Skakdi named Vezon. I vowed to have my revenge, and either take over their world... or destroy it entirely, starting with you."

- Immortal to Zalith

"Do you have any idea what it is like to lose the one you love, the one you cherish the most, the one you would give your own life for? Do you have any idea what it is like to know you can never hold them in your arms ever again, never again feel the warm embrace of their hand, never again hear the sound of their voice? You do not know how much you truely love someone... until they are gone forever."

- Korasaunt

"The day has come. The day has come for us to battle the evils of this universe. For a hundred thousand years, we have prepared for this day, and days like this. Tests like these will be the ultimate tests of our courage, and for the sake of the universe we must pass. "The Brotherhood of Makuta and Order of Darkness are powerful enemies, make no mistake, and only a fool would underestimate them. But they fight to control a universe, and we fight to save it. Never forget that we are fighting for a just cause, and is not a just cause one that is worthy the cost of our lives? We will fight for our lives, and to our deaths, until the end comes, one way or another. “We will fight, and no doubt many of us will die, but we cannot forget that the universe is more than one being's life. I do not mind dying for this cause. I would not mind all of us dying if it meant the death of those who threaten the safety of the Matoran. Perhaps we will fall in the end, perhaps none of you that I see here will survive the wars that are to come. But I know, as I look upon each one of your faces, that if we do, we shall go down having done our best, and that is all that can ever be asked. “We will never surrender to them, not even if we are doomed to failure. We will not have a truce with those that threaten innocent lives; we shall fight to our last breaths if necessary. We must never give in, never give in ever, save to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We will fight in the skies of Karda Nui, we will fight in the waters of the Great Sea, we will fight on the shores of this very island if we must, and should Daxia one day be brought down, then we shall still continue fighting until it ends at last. “We are ready to face our enemies, to endure the challenges they shall bring against us, to do anything to prevent the shadow of the tyranny of the Brotherhood and Order from falling over this universe. They will do their worst — and we will do our best. These are dark times, but as always in dark times, we shall be the light that is cast through it. The time has come to reveal ourselves, my friends and allies, and reveal ourselves we shall! There is no price too great, no shadow to strong, no army too large, that can stop us! We will fight, and we will win over the shadows!"

- Helryx's rallying speech to the Order of Mata Nui

"Oh, please. You actually believe you and your Order, made up of Skakdi, Barraki, Toa, and Dark Hunters, can defeat a faction that has held this universe in its grip for over a thousand years? I think not. Face it Toa, you have lost."

- Benjarmin to Jareroden

"I know many things, my friend. I also know I'm getting paid a great amount to complete my mission. So if it's no problem with you, I'm going to kill you, remove your head, mount it on my wall, and collect the technology my client desires. Oh yeah, and make myself a remarkably rich individual in the process."

- Skorr

"In the beginning was spawned a soul, through which much darkness flowed. Whilst his brothers knew darkness and fear, he had become its incarnate form. His shadow cast across stone, was darker than the night sky with no moon. As the shadows bend and wither in the sun, so will his dark form be cast out with it. Speaketh he not, as his voice brings only despair, and is void of comfort. His eyes glow red as the blood he draws forth from those who see them. Those who stare into them know they are void of life, and only see death. Darkness and madness welcome those who see his eyes. As they sleep, his dark hand will touch their minds and carve deep scars in their hearts. His voice echoes in the darkened shadows, bringing death, despair, and sorrow. You will feel the sting of death in the shadow of his wake, as once warmth ran though your veins, is soon replaced by the feeling of winter's chill. You will close your eyes and hide your face so as to block his visage from your sight. And at last, you will scream for air, but your lungs will fill with blood. Be of great caution so as to escape his dark presence, as only she who brings the sharpened light will ever be the one to cast him from this world, and into the shadow of death. May no other be able to assail he who brings the night. For no other blade may vanquish him, and no other hand destroy him. May ye be warned of his dark soul, and his craving for the souls of others. Stray from the shadows, and take to the light, and he will not be able to cast his shadow over you. May the light that shines over all protect you from his dark hand, for woe to those, who alone, linger in the dark."

- A tablet describing Serrakaan

"Now, you can surrender and go in one piece, or not surrender and go in two or three pieces. Which do you choose?"

- Tritax

"Great, then. We're going on a spacecraft controlled by our enemies toward a city in the middle of outer space filled with more enemies, looking for an extremely deadly substance that could be anywhere which the aforementioned enemies are in full control of. And if we fail, then there'll be a planetary war. Nothing to be worried about, right?"

- Rantu

"I may have been almost blinded by the gases of Zandeech, but I see through you like the air itself. You are afraid, but not of death. Of me."

- Kental

"When the world is content and safe, they take no heed in scoffing at the insane, the odd, the absurd. They yell out at them, and call them mad. To me, the insane and the mad are exactly the same as the sane. I am truly mad, but do you see what you can do with madness?"

- Novux

"Before eternal night may fall at last, Before malicious might has victory, Before the spell of chaos can be cast To shred apart the will of destiny, A light shall thus come forth from shadow's heart, Do battle with antagonistic ghost, To keep the worlds from being torn apart And save that which the light cares for the most.


 * ''And yet success cannot be guaranteed; The savior might not win against the dark, For it is shadow's nature to mislead Before the light-force even can embark. And still there is some more—a deadly fact The light must quickly come to understand— For it will not survive the end intact If it should thus pursue Fate's last command.


 * The knowledge of the savior's final fate Is truth at which the light must fast arrive: For if an age of peace it shall create, The child of dark and light cannot survive."

- One of the Keeper's Elder Prophecies

"But, no matter how careful one may be, defeat may happen. Yes. Defeat, even for confident people. Life always is the same─ even if you take different paths. Life diverges into one. Eventually you'll die. No one is invincible, no one is indomitable. Everyone has an end, and time will prove to tell."

- Wrath of the Infinity

"He's probably that puddle over there..."

- Jevson, after being asked where a prisoner was

"I have came back. My regenerated body strives for hunger. May I eat the Turaga?"

- Jevson to Sharian

"Away from the light, this one strides, Through barren lands and burning tides. Deep in darkness this one laughs, Even the Great Ones raise their staffs.


 * ''Long and treacherous, his path is steep, Yet he fails to notice those who creep. His tale is long, and steeped in blood, Though everyone knows he caused the flood.


 * ''He says he knows and understood, Though has his learning been for good? Power is raised, and placed on his crest, Yet all who live consider it a jest.


 * ''On his whim, the world shall crack, yet all will cheer within his pack. He will join the darkness, as it were, Yet deep inside a light will stir.


 * ''The Wall of Time will soon burn down, It is here where this one shall be bound. Though the eye of the storm will have been by, To say he has perished would be a lie.


 * ''He will wait and watch for his time, Pray in your mind that his darkness will not make you cry."

- The Prophecy, Journeys of Darkness

"It seems that we're pathetic. We put ourselves on a pedestal, and accept praise from countless species. Then we mutate and experiment on them until we view them useless. Then we leave them to die or fight over piles of dust. We are not great beings. We are great destroyers. We've destroyed countless lives on this planet alone. That is why I'm trying to correct my mistake."

- Terronce

"The one with the sharpest mind is the one to cut through the thick wall of enigmatic obscurity"

- Imperalux

"Why does it always seem that everyone is trying to kill us?" "You're one to talk. On our first meeting, you tried to slice me in half with that sword."

- Shardak and Valkyria

"You are pathetic. You’re weak, you’re worthless, and you’re an idiot. If it were my choice I’d snap your neck and throw you into the next pit we see – and I would enjoy doing so. But, if I harm you, then I get Therius crawling over my back. I’m sick of him and his ‘equality’. Maybe I’ll throw him into that pit with you. But until I get my way, just remember this: I eat pieces of Vorox dung like you for breakfast." "You eat pieces of dung?"

- Kentis trying to threaten Tollubo.

"The lessons of life are learned by all of us at one point or another. Those who abuse their gifts without remorse rarely learn the truth before it is too late; those willing to admit their flaws and move on are life's true champions."

- Morkain to Ankum, Sands of Change

"If I had the choice between hiding here and going back to Tethys then I'd be digging a hole in the ground and burying myself alive. But I don’t have the luxury of a choice... and Karabak's probably got a spade."

- Tollubo expressing his doubts to Kazat, Ghosts of the Past

"If I had the choice between hiding here and going back to Tethys then I'd be digging a hole in the ground and burying myself alive. But I don’t have the luxury of a choice... and Karabak's probably got a spade."

- Tollubo expressing his doubts to Kazat, Ghosts of the Past

"Power? Petty Toa, I am power. I can kill you with my sword, and beyond that, nothing. If you strike me down, however, I become thrice as powerful. I am death, Toa, rider of the pale horse. You would be wise to fear me."

- Jevson to Malachi.

"You think I’m making advances to you?" "Aren’t you? Wouldn’t you like to?" "Not while there are Mahi in the street."

- Mudro revealing his repulsion of Fluvia to her face.

"Who am I? Let me explain something to you. The relationship between time and death, is like that of dog and master. Time hunts you down, stalking ever closer, biting at your heels. Eventually, it will catch up with you, and bring you triumphantly back to the master. I am that master. I am death. I am Narcisca, Guardian of the Dead Souls""

- Narcisca

"Ah, quite a temper there, Toa. I thought you were trying to cut back on that. You weren't quite...rebellious last time we met. Aside from the attacking me and the destroying my fortress and all. Back to the important matter, I've come to bring a message to you and your little allies. One, you're going to die. That's obvious. The second point is best summed up in this little slideshow I created called 'real life'."

- Shadowmaster

"If you think about something just a little too much it will stay with you forever, lingering in the back of your mind until the day you die—that is what I call a memory. Something as simple as recalling a conversation from the previous week is completely different."

- Rando

"I was once told that time was an enemy, stalking ever closer, dragging you down. Now I realize, time is a gift; every moment to be cherished. So precious is time, that we cannot afford to fritter it away."

- Magnon

"Life is a puzzle that cannot easily be solved. It takes much time and patience to piece its riddles together, and then to understand its meaning. Once, long ago, my people were the heart of all enigmas. We were the answer to all mysteries, and through our knowledge and experiences, we made life better. Because of this, we were given the noble title of 'Great Beings.' That was a mistake. For soon, we forsook our duties to our world in order to attend to our own, selfish urge to create, and eventually, our planet was torn apart because of that decision. How can we ever look back on our past, and hold our heads high with pride, when the knowledge of the terrible things we have done weighs on our shoulders?"

- Parikon

"I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty...and cracked... and I just cut my lip on it... and chipped a tooth..."

- Toa Tollubo, Over Your Shoulder.

"We may be friends, best friends I might add. But we each have a duty to our home, too. And when we are called upon to do our duty to our home, should we back down? No! Should anything, even friendship, impede this duty for the greater good? No! All great victories come with a great sacrifice. I will give up rights and privileges to protect my home. I will willingly give life to protect my friends. And if a friend stands in the way, impeding the defense of my home, that I fight for, than he too, is a great enemy. There is no worse enemy, than your own best friend!"

- Magnon to Shanohn in A World at War

"I know every dark thought you have. Every shadowy impulse, every foul notion that went through your head. Fools! I do not control simple, physical darkness like the Matoran have had you believe! I am darkness! The shadow that sits in your very soul! The one you shall never be rid of, no matter what you would believe!"

- Makuta, Quest for the Masks

"Because of them, Sara. This is all they have to live for. I can't just take that away from them."

- Rikta

"Swords are overrated these days. If you'd like to suggest otherwise, why don't you have a go at my shield and see how far that gets you? I'm sorry in advance for any earache you may receive."

- Toa Sonitous

"Swords are overrated these days. If you'd like to suggest otherwise, why don't you have a go at my shield and see how far that gets you? I'm sorry in advance for any earache you may receive."

- Sonitous

"Duty controls a lesser person, but conscience controls a greater one."

- Velika to Vilnius, Whispers in the Dark.

"You can change everything, as long as you believe in it."

- Brutaka, The Age of Chaos.
