Deus Ex: Human Revolution

"[If the player enters the womens restroom before the first mission] Oh, and by the way, Jensen? I know you have gone through a lot of physical changes as of late, but you didnt become a woman. Stay out of the ladies restroom."

"The World doesnt care about right or wrong. Its all about power. And right now, none of us have it."

"These people, theyre like ghosts. Always in the shadows, always hiding behind lies and proxy soldiers."

"[If the player does a non-lethal or mostly non-lethal run through the first mission] Well if it isnt Mahatma Gandhi himself, come to save us all with his life-preserving presence!"

"[When inquired about Van Bruggen] Never heard of him. What he do? Steal your girl, owe you money?"

"About time! What, did you get stuck in an airduct on the way here?"

"Corporations have more power than the government. Everyones fighting for power. For control."

"Do I trust Mankind to save itself? Thats what Eliza was asking. The truth is, I dont know. After everything Ive seen, all the fighting, and the chaos around me. I only know what I want to believe: somehow, human decency will triumph. These past few months, I faced many life-threatening situations. I could have given up many times, but my need to know the truth, to uncover the secrets that others were hiding, and to survive, forced me to keep on going. Most of the time, I tried to keep my values in mind, knowing my actions did not have to harm others. I held on to my humanity, resisting the urge to abuse power or resources in order to meet my goals. And in the end, I got the job done. But does this mean I have the right to choose for everyone? No. Because it isnt up to me. It isnt up to Darrow. Sarif, or Taggart, either. Ordinary men and women will have to decide together what course mankind should take. The kind of people who, time and time again, have picked and chosen the future in highly practical ways — slowing change when its negative, speeding it up when its good. Can they do it again? I dont know. But I do know Im not about to let anyone in this station, including myself, stand in their way."

"Sarif was right about one thing, its in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. we were cold, so we harnessed fire, we were weak so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable... but will the outcome always be good? I guess that will depend on how we approach it. these past few months I was challenged many times, but more often than not didnt I try to keep morality in mind, knowing that my actions didnt have to harm others. Time and time again, didnt I resist the urge to abuse power and resources simply to achieve my goals more swiftly? In the past weve had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious for the first time in history we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now — to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine leading to the promise of a singularity — would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But wont achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods weve always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it."

"I never asked for this. They say they saved me, but Im not sure saved is the right word."

"Jensen, if you even think about using that CASIE mod on me, Ill hit you."

"Tell em Barrett sent you straight to hell!"
