God of War
Kratos is the Spartan warrior at the heart of the God of War games. In the classic Greek trilogy he hunts down the gods of Olympus for revenge. In the later Norse saga he tries to become a better man and raise his son Atreus. His lines swing from cold rage to quiet, hard-won wisdom. Below are his real quotes, each with the exact game and scene it comes from.
“The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me. Now there is no hope.”
“By the gods, what have I become?”
“I am not the same man you found that day. The monster you created has returned to kill you.”
“A choice from the gods is as useless as the gods themselves.”
“I serve no one!”
“The Hands of Death could not defeat me. The Sisters of Fate could not hold me. And you will not see the end of this day. I will have my revenge!”
“Zeus! Your son has returned! I bring the destruction of Olympus!”
“My vengeance ends now.”
“Boy.”
“Do not be sorry. Be better.”
“Close your heart to it.”
“The cycle ends here. We must be better than this.”
“I know. But I am your monster no longer.”
“Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me, and you will find every reason to keep living in it.”
“Death can have me when it earns me.”
“We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been.”
