A couple of 'life gives you lemons' lines:
If life gives you melons- you're dyslexic.
If life gives you lemons, make apple juice and laugh as everyone tries to figure out how you did it.
And now a proper quote:
"There are two possibilities:
We are alone in the Universe.
Or we are not, both are equally terrifying."
Arthur C. Clarke.

Is anything worse than finally reaching home, and finding that you're still lost?"

"Story in a game is like a story in a [&@%!] movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important." - John Carmack

This is probably one of the worst places to put that quote, but I personally agree with it relating to certain game types.

"The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is its inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty."
Eugene McCarthy

"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that matters."
-Mewtwo

"If you don't like me, it's mind over matter; I don't mind, and you don't matter."
-Doctor Seuss

And of course, "I am Music" by Allan Inman.

Spoiler:

"I AM music, most ancient of the arts.
I am more than ancient:
I am eternal.
Even before life commenced upon this earth,
I was here - in the winds and the waves.
When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared,
I was among them.

And when humanity came,
I at once became the most delicate, most subtle,
and most powerful medium for the expression of their emotions.
When they were little better than beasts,
I influenced them for their good.

In all ages I have inspired humanity with hope,
kindled their love,
given a voice to their joys,
cheered them on to valorous deeds,
and soothed them in times of despair.

I have played a great part in the drama of Life,
whose end and purpose
is the complete perfection of humanity's nature.
Through my influence
human nature has been uplifted,
sweetened and refined.

A long line of the brightest minds
have devoted themselves to the perfection of instruments
through which they may utilize my powers
and enjoy my charms.

I have myriads of voices and instruments.
I am in the hearts of all peoples and on their tongues,
in all lands and among all cultures:
the ignorant and unlettered know me,
not less than the rich and learned.

For I speak to all peoples,
in a language that all understand.
Even the deaf hear me,
if they but listen to the voices of their own souls.

I am the food of love.
I have taught humanity gentleness and peace:
and I have led them onward to heroic deeds.
I comfort the lonely,
and I harmonize the discord of crowds.
I am a necessary luxury to all.
I AM music."

Not exactly quotes made by famous people, but I thought it was funny.
Regarding the end to Ebb and Flow's mission to the moon:

"Crashing into the moon would seem to end just about any mission."

"In fairness an impact probe's mission would begin upon crashing..."

"Always look on the bright side of life" - Graham Chapman


And: "We aren't retreating, we are advancing in a backwards direction..." - Some soldier in an early COD game.


And something along the lines of:
"I can only hope she is rewarded for her loyalty as I am." - Miraak.

Poor guy, we were fighting the wrong person...

[Dark Spark]

...And: "We aren't retreating, we are advancing in a backwards direction..." - Some soldier in an early COD game...

"There are no atheists in foxholes."

Then again, there's "God's busy! This one's on you!" from Sergeant Moody in CoD 1.

Or earthquakes is the alternative version.

COD was so much better back then...

"Use your head, or somebody else might,"

I couldn't find who said it, but it is nice to think about.

"If you shoot a guy wearing a hot-dog suit, does he bleed ketchup?"
"Like my daddy said, 'If you can't beat them, join them. Then betray them in an orgy of murder.' ".

[Dan-Ru]

When she said, "You're a nice person," I knew I had no chance. Women don't look for niceness in a man. "A nice person" is an expression they use pityingly... to someone so shallow and uninteresting that they sense no mystery in him.

Not sure where this is from, I have my suspicions though...
