as taken form Gaunt's ghosts. The amazing understatement in what it actually means is fantastic. I love the subtlety and blatancy of it .

The universe has many horrors yet to throw at us. This is not the end of our struggle. This is just the beginning of our crusade to save Humanity. Be faithful! Be strong! Be vigilant!
"I have always found that foreign travel narrows the mind wonderfully."
"The more I learn about these aliens, the more I come to understand what drives them, the more I hate them. I hate them for what they are and for what they may one day become. I hate them not because they hate us but because they are incapable of good, honest, human hatred."

Anything from the Gaunts Ghosts series really (Abnett's great at creating character lines).From what I can remember though Lijah Cuu's synonymous, "sure as sure", was a pretty nice line....that's gotten me a few odd glances whenever I've used it publicly.
Hmn, need to look out some of those books to find a better one. XD
"The saint Sebastian Thor once said a man who has faith can overcome any obstacle, a legion of the faithful is unstoppable. ...Our enemy has a faith too, and they are without number", no idea what the source of that one was (and I'm sure I've got the wording wrong) , but it sparked as being extra heretical.
Cortez: "What's next?"
Kantor: "Nothing for you. You'll rest here until we can get an Apothecary here."
Cortez: "Not likely, I'm still in this. I'm fine."
Kantor: "No! You Lost an arm, Alessio. By the mercy of the Emperor alone, you're lucky you didnt't lose your life."
Cortez: (gesturing over Kantor's shoulder) "I haven't lost an arm, brother. It's right over there"

Wherever and whenever they appear they leave only destruction in their wake; they are the Lords of Death, Bringers of War. The Dark Angels.
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!- Helen Keller
Oh, there's so many great ones to choose from, though I feel Chaos-aligned characters tend to say the coolest stuff.
"Your presence does not surprise me Assassin. I have known of you since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication." ~ Konrad Kurze, moments before his death at the hands of Callidus Assassin M'Shen
"What is Chaos? Suffering, you might say. Oppression. Deceit. But could not all these things be said of your Imperium? You hunt down the talented and the strong-willed. You break them or sacrifice them. You lie to your citizens and wage war on those who dare speak out. The inquisitors you call masters assume guilt and execute millions on a whim. And why? Why do you do this? Because you know Chaos is there but you do not know how to fight it, so you crush your own citizens for fear that they might aid the Enemy. The Imperium suffers because of Chaos. No matter how hard you fight, that will never change. Chaos exists in a state of permanent victory over you - you dance to our tune, mortal one, you butcher and torture and repress one another because the gods of the warp require you to. The Imperium is founded on Chaos. My lord Tzeentch won your war a long, long time ago." ~ Ghargatuloth, Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
"Let the galaxy burn." ~ Horus Lupercal
"The difference between gods and daemons largely depends upon where one is standing at the time." ~ Lorgar Aurelian
"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us almost by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as prey." ~ Inquisitor Czevak
"Why weep comrade? Is it the blood we wade in? The thunder of the guns perhaps? Or this sodden corpse-hole of a trench? Friend, be of good cheer, our savior the Emperor has brought us to this fine world with its open skies and wide vistas, and as plentiful scavenging as I've ever seen, and all he asks is that we kill a few of those godless bastards yonder. Why, it is a fine thing, to be an Imperial Guardsmen!"
I murdered thousands for the Emperor and he gave me nothing but his damning silence. Now his lapdogs yap for every life I take, while the gods promise me the galaxy.

You know Warhammer is getting to real when you being using 40K swears, for example "fug" and "Emperors Hairy Arse!" When writing this the word arse was not recognized, well done.
Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours.

"It is my belief that foreign travel narrows the mind wonderfully."
- Attributed to Helem Bosch
I remind this to myself everytime I board a plane.
And after being grounded for almost a moth and half by a wild strain of E. Coli I probably surely got via airport food, I'd say foreign travel not only narrows the mind but also loosens the bowels. Wonderfully.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
"What do you humans know of our pain? We have sang songs of lament since before your ancestors crawled on their bellies from the sea" - Eldrad Ulthran
"Take care, lest your protests grow tiresome. I have asked for so little! Anyone would think I had asked you to sacrifice yourselves and all your family. And yet, in Slaanesh's boundless and pleasing mercy, I have asked only for your daughters. Surely you would not deny me my small enjoyments?"
