Just 40k? My favourite (off the top of my head) is from the Heresy, in Scars when Khan has a flashback to Ullanor:

'“He wants to be left alone,’ said Fulgrim. ‘To shoot off into the stars and hunt down xenos on those delightful jetbikes. They’re devilishly fast. I heard from a contact on Mars, Jaghatai, that you do strange things to your ships.’
The Khan shot him a heavy-lidded stare. ‘I heard you do strange things to your warriors.”'

Easier the best one, given the chapter that follows and what we know of the Heresy. For an opening line into the prequel series of 40k, it blew me away. It would be akin to the first Jackson The Hobbit film opening with Sauron standing over the dead body of Aragorn and Gandalf with the One Ring on his finger. Or The Phantom Menace with Ben Kenobi cutting down Yoda.

"You kept that mule Kor Phaeron. Russ kept his kin-friends. The Lion kept Luther. Humans - brothers and foster fathers - saved and raised into Legion ranks. But not me. Not Angron, no. Did the Emperor teleport his gold-wrapped Custodians down to help me and my army? No. Did he free the War Hounds and order them to battle, fight alongside me? No. Did he save my brothers and sisters the way he spared and honoured the Lion's closest kin? The way he honoured Kor Phaeron? No, no and no. No mercy for Angron. Angron the Oathbreaker. Angron the Betrayer,"

Yeah, that entire opening page blew me away. I wish the writing in the novels was that good, oh man.

Try again Bragg!

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Definitely my favorite:

Saint Praxides wrote:When it was over, when the blood had dried and the fires had died down, then we found we were the same as we had always been - small and terrified human beings, with only the light of the Emperor to see by in this dark galaxy of sin.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
