| | <option>{{Quote|There was honour in our Covenant once. But that honour withered a long time ago, as the Prophets turned from the path the Ancient Ones forged. For more than three thousand cycles, we have followed a Covenant of blood and shame, a dishonour to our fathers' fathers, an affront to the Gods, and a stain upon our honour that will never truly wash away. But no more. The blind followers have opened their eyes, and have glimpsed the true face of betrayal - and we have good memories. Our war of vengeance shall burn a path of glory through the stars, sweeping our foes aside like a sacred wind, and our names and deeds shall shall be sung for a thousand years!|Supreme Commander Zuro Dun 'Xoram}}</option> |

| | <option>{{Quote|Evolution is an illusion, a name we give for the passage of time. Nothing changes. Nothing innovates. Throughout time, all that happens is that the universe remains constant, eternal...stagnant. And so we imagine that it improves, and by imagining it we make it so. It is the ultimate self-deception...because it is true. We try to innovate. We try to invent. And in our ignorance, we forget that all has been done before - by the Forerunners, or the Precursors, or by ''their'' predecessors. Our presence, our actions and their consequences, are ultimately irrelevant. When we are dead, our kind long since turned to dust, the universe will still remain, an impartial, unmoving and unforgiving monument to all our sins.|Kora 'Morhek, Sangheili philosopher.}}</option> |
| | <option>{{Quote|When you speak of your heroes, of your Thermopylae, your Leonidas, your Spartans, where are the brave others? Where are the Phocians and the Locrians, who gave heir lives in the defence of their own towns? What of the Thespians, who stayed knowing of certain death to aid those Spartans? What of Demophilus? What of the thousands of courageous Persians who were slaughtered by the Greeks? Of Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, and Hydarnes, who fell fighting? Do they get no acknowledgement? Do they not deserve some part of the honour and glory that is rightfully theirs?|Qur'a 'Morhek, Sangheili philosopher.}}</option> |
| | <option>{{Quote|It has been said that in the beginning of all things, there was life and light. The light of the Gods. The light of the Forerunners. And all was good. Yet for all, there must be a counter and an opposite: for warmth, there must be cold; For love, there must be hate; For light, there must be darkness; for good, there must be evil. And the darkness that was the [[Flood|Abomination]] engulfed the light, and threatened to extinguish all. The Forerunners, in their wisdom, ascended out of the reach of the darkness, and cast the demons down for the evil they are, embarking upon the Great Journey, and leaving us behind to follow in their footsteps.|''Ascendancy Codex'', Minister of Acquisition, formal recitation.}}</option> |

The world was void, <br>The populous and the powerful was a lump, <br>Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless - <br>A lump of death -a chaos of hard clay. <br>The rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still, <br>And nothing stirred within their silent depths; <br>Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea, <br>And their masts fell down piecemeal; as they dropped<br>They slept on the abyss without a surge - <br>The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, <br>The Moon, their mistress, had expired before; <br>The winds were withered in the stagnant air, <br>And the clouds perished!

God - man - the world - the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars - a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space - and you! <br>And you are not you - you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought. I myself have no existence; I am but a dream - your dream, creature of your imagination. In a moment you will have realized this, then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me ... <br>I am perishing already - I am failing - I am passing away. In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever - for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better! <br>Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago - centuries, ages, eons, ago! - for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. <br>Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction! Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane - like all dreams: a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell - mouths mercy and invented hell - mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him! . . . <br>You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier. <br>It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!|Mark Twain}}</option> |
| <br /> | | <option>{{quote|'''<u>ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT</u>'''<br>I have been one acquainted with the night. <br>I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. <br>I have outwalked the furthest city light. <br>I have looked down the saddest city lane. <br>I have passed by the watchman on his beat <br>And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. <br>I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet <br>When far away an interrupted cry <br>Came over houses from another street, <br><br>But not to call me back or say good-bye; <br>And further still at an unearthly height, <br>One luminary clock against the sky <br><br>Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. <br>I have been one acquainted with the night. |Robert Frost}}</option> |

Yet if we die, then I shall die with all the honour of a [[Sangheili]] warrior - which is more than can be said for their pathetic races.<br><br>
| | <option>{{Quote|'''<u>THE ROAD NOT TAKEN</u>'''<br>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,<br>And sorry I could not travel both<br>And be one traveler, long I stood<br>And looked down one as far as I could<br>To where it bent in the undergrowth;<br><br>Then took the other, as just as fair,<br>And having perhaps the better claim,<br>Because it was grassy and wanted wear;<br>Though as for that the passing there<br>Had worn them really about the same,<br><br>And both that morning equally lay<br>In leaves no step had trodden black.<br>Oh, I kept the first for another day!<br>Yet knowing how way leads on to way,<br>I doubted if I should ever come back.<br><br>I shall be telling this with a sigh<br>Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br>Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—<br>I took the one less traveled by,<br>And that has made all the difference.|Robert Frost}}</option> |

| {{Quote|Evolution is an illusion, a name we give for the passage of time. Nothing changes. Nothing innovates. Throughout time, all that happens is that the universe remains constant, eternal...stagnant. And so we imagine that it improves, and by imagining it we make it so. It is the ultimate self-deception...because it is true. We try to innovate. We try to invent. And in our ignorance, we forget that all has been done before - by the Forerunners, or the Precursors, or by ''their'' predecessors. Our presence, our actions and their consequences, are ultimately irrelevant. When we are dead, our kind long since turned to dust, the universe will still remain, an impartial, unmoving and unforgiving monument to all our sins.|Kora 'Morhek, Sangheili philosopher.}}

| {{Quote|It has been said that in the beginning of all things, there was life and light. The light of the Gods. The light of the Forerunners. And all was good. Yet for all, there must be a counter and an opposite: for warmth, there must be cold; For love, there must be hate; For light, there must be darkness; for good, there must be evil. And the darkness that was the [[Flood|Abomination]] engulfed the light, and threatened to extinguish all. The Forerunners, in their wisdom, ascended out of the reach of the darkness, and cast the demons down for the evil they are, embarking upon the Great Journey, and leaving us behind to follow in their footsteps.|''Ascendancy Codex'', Minister of Acquisition, formal recitation.}}
