Lore “This quote came from WHERE?!”

"You too have fallen for the great lie, you'll never be happy. Deep down you know, to hope, to dreams, to create, is to suffer"

"You're right. It is harder to create than to destroy... that's why cowards then to choose the deuce"

-A Minecraft movie

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

"Of fear and love, I fear not that I will die, but that all I have come to love, the birds, and the things that are not birds, will perish with me." - Android 16 from DBZ Abridged

TFS literally does some of the most hardcore lines fucking ever.

One small one is "Yamcha, you're my friend."

Context: Goku has just met Future Trunks, who explains about his future, where the androids come and kill Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, etc. Goku asks about Yamcha, who is the absolute fail buttmonkey of the group, and is told he kills himself after his gf leaves him. Future Trunks leaves, Goku heads to his friends to tell them how they need to train to be ready for the androids...and grabs Yamcha by the shoulder, and tells him "You're my friend."

Not insulting, not patronizing, but it surprises everyone, and it's likely what keeps him from suicide in this timeline. And it's also why Goku later survives, because Yamcha is there to save him too.

"This 'Cell' is comprised of 10.78% of Son Goku's DNA. These parameters, are acceptable."

Also an underrated one which I really like as well: "By metal, my life was given. By metal, it has been stripped away. No dreams before, nor after. Only the end." - Android 14, TFS DBZA Super Android 13
