This is a list of quotes spoken by the [[Gravemind]] and, by extension, the [[Primordial]].
*"I am the last of those your kind rose up against and ruthlessly destroyed. I am the last Precursor. And our answer is at hand."
 
==Halo: Primordium==
{{Main|Halo: Primordium}}
*"No. Life demands. It clings and is selfish." -When asked by the [[IsoDidact]] if it had found what it came for.
*"Not by choice." -When asked why it came to [[Installation 07]].
*"No vengeance, no plague. Only unity."
*"Work, fight, live. All the sweeter. Mind after mind will shape and absorb. In the end, all will be quiet with wisdom."
*"Those who created us were defied and hunted. Most were extinguished. A few fled beyond your reach. Creation continued."
*"It was long ago decided. Forerunners will never bear the Mantle."
*"Through long study. The decision is final. Humans will replace you. Humans will be tested next."
*"It is the way of those who seek out the truth of the Mantle. Humans will rise again in arrogance and defiance. The Flood will return when they are ripe -and bring them unity."
*"No immunity. Judgement. Timing."
*"Misery is sweetness. Forerunners will fail as you have failed before. Humans will rise. Whether they will also fail has not been decided."
*"We are the Flood. There is no difference. Until all space and time are rolled up and life is crushed in the folds ... no end to war, grief, or pain. In a hundred and one thousand centuries ... unity again, and wisdom. Until then -sweetness."
*"It is your task to kill this servant, that another may be freed."

==Halo: Silentium==
{{Main|Halo: Silentium}}
*"Didact, do you have a moment? Just a moment. That's all it will take." - After capturing the [[Ur-Didact]].
*"There is only one truth. That which is done will be done again. For we cannot cease from creating, but the end of all our creation will be to look into a reflection and see ''ourselves'' for the first time. The pain we have brought on ourselves. The pain you caused us. For we are the same. All remember the defiance and destruction.
:We announced to your kind long ago that you were not the ones chosen to receive the Mantle, the blessing of rule and protection of life and change that thinks. That blessing was to be given to others. To those you now call human. You could not accept our judgment, could not bear up under your inferiority, so you reached out and did what we never expected from those we gave design and life and the change that is thought.
:You drove us from our galaxy, our field of labor. You chased us across the middle distance to another home, and destroyed ''that'' home, did all that you could to destroy every one of us. A few were spared. Some adopted new strategies for survival; they went dormant. Others became dust that could regenerate our past forms; time rendered this dust defective. It brought only disease and misery; but that was good, we saw the misery and found it good.
:Our urge to create is immutable; we ''must'' create. But the beings we create shall never again reach out in strength against us.
:All that is created will ''suffer''. All will be born in suffering, endless grayness shall be their lot. All creation will tailor to failure and pain, that ''never again'' shall the offspring of the eternal Fount rise up against their creators.
:Listen to the silence. Ten million years of deep silence. And now, whimpers and cries; not of birth. That is what we bring: a great crushing weight to press down youth and hope.
:No more ''will''. No more freedom. Nothing new but agonizing death and never good shall come of it.
:''We are the last of those who gave you breath and form, millions of years ago. We are the last of those your kind defied and ruthlessly destroyed. We are the last Precursors. And now we are legion.''"
*"Forerunners surprise even those who created them. Their treachery is matched only by their resourcefulness. One of them, the Master Builder, arouses our interest. Tell what awaits us in that mess of moons." - Conversing with Mendicant Bias.
