"[to Mimir, regarding his grudge against the Berserkers] I know how it feels to be wronged, and how it feels to achieve vengeance. I would hope to spare you the disappointment."

"You must listen!"

"[capturing a Lindwyrm] Stop squirming."

"Thor! Listen to me!"

"No! I did not—!"

"Odin does not—!"

"[Thor: Don't you know, what I've DONE?!] Yes! But what will you do now?"

"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."

"[To his younger self] What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant. And all that it did not. A god of war... a god of pain. Of suffering. Of destruction. The Norns said I chase a redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools! A god of... Hope. "When all else is lost..." You lost everything. And everyone. And you became... There is no forgiving you. You chose! I chose. What now? Should I, this same man, should I sit? Take? Proclaim? Lead? Place myself in service? In service... Should I... lose everything and everyone... will there still be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have hope. You are cruel, and arrogant, and selfish. But you are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw. You are more than that."

"Bloody Draugr Holes! We've got to clear out all these undead bastards!"

"[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."

"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."

"[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."

"[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."

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

"We do not need to do this!"

"[Thor: We don't change. We, are DESTROYERS!] No more. No more. For the sake of our children. We. Must. Be. Better."

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

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

"[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!"

"[Falls off of Kratos' belt and sees him killing Heimdall] Brother! BROTHER! This isn't who you want to be!"

"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."

"[Before Atreus leaves] Loki will go... but [voice starts shaking] Atreus... [places hand on heart] Atreus remains. [He and Atreus embrace]"

"[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?"

"Helios: [to Kratos] A mighty chain... auspicious sign! You've always had such luck with chains."

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

"Helios: [to Kratos] I must say, it's genuinely hard to think of anything stupider than pledging your soul to Ares, of all people. I mean, any of Zeus' brood are bound to be garbage - present company by no means excluded - but Ares made a real art out of being vicious and depraved. Though I suppose I can't begrudge you your role model."

"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."

"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."

"A man at war with himself places a deficit upon his focus. He is impatient, emotional, easily surprised. A man at one with himself has a clearer mind, sharper instincts. That man is ready to win. That man is ready to progress."

"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?"

"[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."

"A symbol can't be slain, destroyed, or ignored. The best measure is often to reclaim it. Redefine it. Remind us it's not the throne, but the god who sits in it."

"You're on fire, Kratos! It will pass."

"[Freya: It (Garm) will rip holes open in the World Tree until there is nothing left, what were you thinking?!] Aye, this is a fuck up of not-insignificant proportions!"

"[About Odin impersonating Tyr] He counted on us to be sympathetic instead of sceptical. I'll never believe compassion is a weakness, but he sure used it as one!"

"[drunkenly] Let it be known... the god of thunder is good for two things: killing Giants... and PISSING MEAD! [Einherjar laugh and cheer] Any man who disagrees... will greet Mjolnir... [slams his hammer onto the table] with his face."

"[during the tavern fight in Asgard; drunken] Thinking too mucccchhhhh...."

"Everything was fine before Loki showed up! He almost convinced me! Had me believing things could change!"

"Make your move!"

"[to Kratos] Don't you know, [he hits his chest as he says this] WHAT I'VE DONE?!"

"[to Kratos] We don't change... We... are DESTROYERS!"

"You know who I am."

"Do they not have metaphor in your homeland? Or rather did they? I'm sorry, that's not fair."

"[as Freya traps him in vines] You use these on our son too?!"

"[if Atreus approaches Thor and Sif's bedroom door] That's where mom and dad sleep. Ever hear a thunder god snore? 'Cause... you're gonna."

"Whoa, you can turn into a WOLF?!"

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