Famous quotes fitting the Blizzard franchises

Death Knight: Smell that? You smell that?
Grunt: What?
Death Knight: Death and Decay, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.

Death Knight: I love the smell of Death and Decay in the morning. You know, one time we had a Humans town attacked, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I rode up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that rotting smell, the whole town. Smelled like...

If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning,
I'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land,
I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out love between,
My brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

[...]

Well, I've got a hammer
and I've got a bell
and I've got a song to sing
all over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my
brothers and my sisters
all over this land

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

in English

Hans Beckert: But I... I can't help myself! I have no control over this, this evil thing inside of me, the fire, the voices, the torment!

Schränker: Do you mean to say that you have to murder?

Hans Beckert: It's there all the time, driving me out to wander the streets, following me, silently, but I can feel it there. It's me, pursuing myself! I want to escape, to escape from myself! But it's impossible. I can't escape, I have to obey it.

in Deutsch

Hans Beckert: Aber ich, kann ich denn, kann ich denn anders? Hab' ich denn nicht dieses Verfluchte in mir, das Feuer, die Stimme, die Qual,...

Schränker: Du willst also damit sagen, daß du morden musst?

Hans Beckert: Immer, immer muss ich durch Straßen gehen und immer spüre ich, da ist einer hinter mir her - das bin ich selber - und verfolgt mich, lautlos, aber ich höre es doch. Ja, manchmal ist mir, als ob ich selber hinter mir herliefe. Ich will davon, vor mir selber davonlaufen. Aber ich kann nicht, kann mir nicht entkommen, muss, muss den Weg gehen, den es mich jagt.

(another French-centric quote and references)

"J'suis Antivol, l'oiseau au sol"
("I'm Antivol, the flightless bird")

Spoiler

("If I have wings, why am I always walking?")

The 1976 French cartoon character Antivol, is a common bird which never flies, by personal convenience. In each episode, it converses with another, feminine character (never shown on-screen), who taunts yet encourages it to fly anyway. But Antivol always stands its ground, by finding dubious excuses to not do so.

In the standalone Antivol official song, the bird reveals to a third-party young boy (also never shown), it suffers from vertigo. But it will never admit it in the cartoon TV series afaik.

My favourite Warcraft quote actually doesn't originate from Warcraft at all: "Not all who wander are lost." — Prophet Velen, the leader of the draenei. Originally it is "Not all those who wander are lost", and it is a line from the poem All that is gold does not glitter, written by J. R. R. Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings.

 

[pyf]

[...] Originally it is "Not all those who wander are lost", and it is a line from the poem All that is gold does not glitter, written by J. R. R. Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings.

This quote fits fairly well this character you already know imho.


** update **

In fact, the whole first quatrain fits him imho:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

 

[Alok]

Yes, it can fit Rexxar too, but the whole poem fits best Prophet Velen, the character who says the quote in World of Warcraft, and the exodus of the draenei.
