Top Episodes Quotes
- “Unlike you, whelp, I once walked the same ground as your idol. I breathe the same air as him, and I tell you this without lie or artifice. He never wanted to become what you have made him. He did not wish to be your God thing. He abhorred such ideals. The slavery of your crippled, blind imperium would sicken him if he had eyes to see it.“ by Fabius Bile
- “He literally just, like, wishes it away in his head. He's like, there's nothing there. There's not. There's nothing there at all. There are no gods. Only stars in the void. No gods. No gods. No gods. I think, therefore I am. They do not. So they are not. The gods are for the weak, and I am not weak.“ by Bricky
- “Slaanesh literally tells him, in that scene, you have committed crimes of such monstrous elegance that even the gods themselves grow uneasy.“ by Shy
