"Son... listen closely. You feel their pain because that is who you are. And you must never sacrifice that, never. Not for anyone. I was wrong, Atreus. I was wrong. Open your heart. Open your heart to their suffering. That is your mother's wish... and mine as well. Today, today... we will be better."

"There was an old man who chopped wood for his village. Every evening, he bore the logs on his back and delivered them to his people. But the logs were heavy, and he grew weaker as time went. Then one day, he threw down the logs, as he could no longer bear their weight, and he called for Death to come to him. And when Death arrived, he asked why the old man had called for him. Seeing Death before him caused the old man to reconsider his request. After a moment, he asked that Death help him lift the logs onto his back, so that he may continue on his journey."

"We do not need to do this!"

"[about Heimdall] I have killed gods greater than him."

"[to Freya] I do not regret saving your life, and never will. But the choice between life and death should have been yours to make. I should not have robbed you of that choice."

"[After Brok's death, Atreus speaks about continuing to bring Odin to justice] Justice?! No. We seek vengeance! Every path I walk... leads back to vengeance."

"No! I did not—!"

"[to "Tyr"] Are you not a soldier? Are you not a leader of men?! MASTER YOURSELF! My son brought us to this place for you! LOOK AT HIM!"

"I do not seek war... but if Odin has stolen my son, do not doubt the lengths I will go to!"

"Be glad you have a home to remember fondly. In Sparta, we were taken from our homes as children and raised in the agoge. We marched or we drowned. Fought for scraps or starved. Our elders beat us till we could not stand. At night we made our way home, alone, or were food for wolves. That is how Spartans are made."

"[to Freya] Do not tell me to kill again. I kill to protect my son, to aid my friends, but I will be no one's monster. Never again."

"War is not a joke. Especially where gods are concerned."

"Thor! Listen to me!"

"Odin does not—!"

"You must listen!"

"Beyla: From birth, we are taught the Light is everything. The Elders say it is why we fight. But all of that? It's shit. I am more than the hive. More than a soldier. Light Elves, Dark Elves... all Elves are the same! Stubborn, brainless as moths, blinded by their Light. I know better now. I looked into the shadows... and there I found my people. My home. There. That is all I have to say. You can go away."

"Bygvir: You mean, do I miss the Light? The truth? I still feel its pull. You want nothing else when you're near it. And away from it, you're only biding time until you can drink again from the Light. But then again... the Light does not make good food. It doesn't play music, or tell jokes, or open your eyes to new things. It makes you run in place. The more I am away from it, the more I see it for what it really is. And I don't need it anymore."

"Surtr: [to Atreus] Have you ever been...in love? It's pretty good."

"Box or no box, Kratos... hope and fear and love and hate exist in every one of us. The question is... which will you choose to let guide your actions?"

"Perhaps you are finding a truth similar to the one I discovered so long ago -- that as we desire to protect peace in the world, it becomes necessary to honor and satisfy the fighter within us."

"Durlin: A fine. [Atreus looks at him confused] Improper transport of a rotting head, um, two demerits for speaking the Allfather's given name, and uh... oh yeah. FOR FUCKING UP MY DESK!"

"Heimdall: [last words to Kratos as he strangles him] Monster..."

"[blessing the Draupnir Spear] May this weapon strike true; may it be wielded with wisdom; may it be put down when its job is done."

"[after realizing that Sindri resurrected him with an incomplete soul] Fuck... FUCK! DAMMIT, SINDRI, YA LYING SCAT-SCRUBBER! I knew it! I died! I FUCKING DIED...! [Kratos interrupts him by striking the floor with the Draupnir Spear] The fuck you want?"

"[his last words, to Sindri] I know what you done. And I forgives ya. But y'gotta stop. Y'gotta let go."

"[Sindri: Oh, so you expect them to sneak into Asgard blowing a horn that sounds across all the Realms?!] I expect you to bite my blue butt-cheek!"
