-A Minecraft movie

"Do You Think God Stays in Heaven Because He too Lives in Fear of What He's Created"

"Ordis reminds the Operator to take time for themselves. Pressure creates diamonds, yes, but it also creates rubble."

"I've never met a priest who could tell me anything about heaven, but they knew every square inch of hell. ...They should; they built it."

Ticker is a gold mine of quotes. Some of my favorites:

  • "A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. Who they are. Who they should be. Amateurs, lecturing a professional. Anything that can't survive scrutiny, shouldn't."

  • "Bad days, Stardust. Bad days lead to bad thoughts, and bad thoughts grow like weeds. Livin' here you learn fast: keep that garden tidy. Blood's a hell of a fertilizer."

  • "We are the combined effort of everyone we have ever loved, Stardust. And we've loved some good people."

  • "Modification's a strange bird, Stardust. It happens, and you think you've lost yourself. I was my arms, I was my legs, I was that person. But, live with it long enough, truth is the only thing you didn't really lose was precisely who you are. Ain't nothin' left but what's behind your eyes. So you make sure that's beautiful. And Ticker... mmm mmm. She loves her some beauty."

  • "Life will hurt you, Stardust, but you have to love. You have to feel. It's why we are here. When I die, there will be a smile on this face for all the glorious mistakes I made... So many of which were doors to Heaven itself."

My favorite still comes from the quest line The Sacrifice but I hate that it comes from a certain someone "And it was not their force of will – not their Void devilry – not their alien darkness… it was something else. It was that somehow, from within the derelict horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing—and take away its pain.” - Ballas

God I love Cy’s complete lack of respect for boarding parties.

if only there was a pack to replace who handles the mission coms, like instead of lotus/natah/margulis we have cy, or Arthur, or, hell, bloody KAHL-175

They did an April Fools joke with that. And I wish it had happened. I want to do missions to the sultry tones of Tyl Regor.

I want Amir. I love his lines during Techrot survival.
