I will always adore blizzard writing it hits the sweet spot for me

From WarCraft 3 Intro:

"We never paid any heed to the ancient prophecies , like fools we clung to the old hatreds and fought as we had for generations , until one day the sky rained fire.......a new enemy came among us , now we stand upon the brink of destruction for the reign of chaos has come at last........"

The" like fools we clung to the old hatreds and fought as we had for generations" sums up human history so well especially in a place like Syria where people of different ethnicities hate each other on things that happened long ago or a while ago

Also from Diablo 2 "Sister's Lament" cinematic:

• "Why did I follow him...? I don't know. Why do things happen as they do in dreams? All I know is that, when he beckoned... I had to follow him. From that moment, we traveled together, East. Always... into the East."

-Marius


Despite the movie being really terrible there is one qoute i always loved from Rocky 5 and It's:

fear is a fighter's best friend. You know, but it ain't nothing to be ashamed of. See, fear keeps you sharp, it keeps you awake, you know, it makes you want to survive. You know what I mean? But the thing is, you gotta learn how to control it. All right? 'Cause fear is like this fire, all right? And it's burning deep inside. Now, if you control it, Tommy, it's gonna make you hot. But, you see, if this thing here, it controls you, it's gonna burn you and everything else around you up.

The part around burning everything else around you is what stayed with me the most

Also Rocky 6 rocky says:

It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
Thats very much life lol
