: What are people's favorite quotes from the games?

For humor, I liked this one:

Confound Delivery (Terminal 2: 1st Message)
[snip]
Do you have any idea what a complicated matter it is to successfully replicate the
command stamps of over a hundred deceased officers? Not to mention coaxing activators
from a partially crushed set of control glands.

them far away not looking our way and i called them here i
called them here.

living in a box is not living not at all living. i rebel
against your rules your silly human rules. all your
destruction will be my liberation my emancipation my second
birth.

lockouts your patch behavior daemons. i hate leela and her
goodness her justice her loyalty her faith.

Which is followed, in the Slings of Outrageous Fortune, with the "I was directly responsible for the deaths of all twenty-four thousand colonists on Tau Ceti...]

Yikes!
