Best sentence in a video game ever?

Not a character quote, but I was always fond of the item description for humanity from dark souls 1.

"This black sprite is called humanity, but
little is known about its true nature.
If the soul is the source of all life,
then what distinguishes the humanity
we hold within ourselves?"
 
"All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it. It grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came."

- XEHANORT, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
 
"what good is an intellect if you can't use it" Raiden, MGRR.

"My name is Master Aqua. Now return my friend's heart or pay the price!" Aqua, KHBBS.

Dante: ...And now, my soul...is saying it wants to STOOPPP YYYOUUU!!
Vergil: (Laughs)

------------------------
Infamous 2

Zeke: Half as long....
Cole: Twice as bright.

The callback to this line in the Evil Ending is quite sad :(

Silent Hill 3

Heather: Is everyone here a complete nutcase?

-----------------------
Silent Hill 3 (Again)
Heather: Shut your stinking mouth, BITCH!
 
Got beaten to Planescape's arc question, but I'll second it.

Here's a couple more, a mix of funny ones and ones that are legit good.

"James...you made me happy." - Silent Hill 2

"The universe is a yawning chasm, filled with emptiness and the puerile meanderings of sentience." - Eternal Darkness

"You can wax on wax off all you like, but I'm still kicking your ass!" - God Hand

"LOADS O' MONEY!" - Killing Floor

"A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!" - Sleeping Dogs

"Your bodyguard just won gold medal in dying" - Alpha Protocol

"I've been dead for 35 years. Today is the day I live." - LISA the Painful RPG

"Of course! Because that's what doggies do!" - Ghost Trick

"You know sweetheart, if there is on thing I learned it's this, nobody knows what's at the end of the line so you might as well enjoy the trip." - Grim Fandango
 
I won't call it the best, but "I coveted that wind, I suppose" from The Wind Waker always stuck with me.
 
Mafia 1 closing monologue (though I've only ever heard it in the original Czech language):

You know, the world isn't run by the laws written on paper. It's run by people. Some according to laws, others not. It depends on each individual how his world will be, how he makes it. And you also need a whole lot of luck, so that somebody else doesn't make your life hell. And it ain't as simple as they tell you in grade school. But it is good to have strong values and to maintain them. In marriage, in crime, in war, always and everywhere. I messed up. So did Paulie and Sam. We wanted a better life, but in the end we were a lot worse off than most other people. You know, I think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the right word. Because the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. Of course, the guy who wants too little from life, might not get anything at all.

The bolded part I love.

Oh shoot. I guess I really mean the last two sentences which makes me a cheater :0
 
"Leave this space creature, before I eat you"
Berzeker in Warhead. (Very nice space simulator on Amiga.)

Do not remember his binary transmissions.
 
Always loved this scene from Growlanser 2.


Wein: What do you think you're doing, Gevas?!

Gevas: Isn't it obvious? I'm returning to where I belong.

Wein: : And the cycle of pain and calamity brought on humanity will begin again, at your hand.

Gevas: : You babble without knowledge! This world...this place...it was all mine originally. Your kind stole it from me when you came here.

Charlotte: : But, if that hadn't happened, none of us would have been born!

Gevas: : Exactly. You did what you had to, do for the survival of your species. And when you came, your strength allowed you to prevail. To the strong go the spoils...it has been that way since the beginning of time!

Hans: It just sounds like you're a sore loser!

Gevas: : You are weak. You're all weak now. And therein lies my opportunity...

Xenos Langley: Sounds simple enough, but all battles are easily won, in the minds of the delusional.


Xenos having the balls to say that, in the face of a demigod, was fucking amazing. The balls on this guy.
