“What matters is not how long you live, it’s what you accomplish with your life.” - Grovyle, Pokemon

“I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth is irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.” - Mewtwo, Pokemon
 
"Blood leads only to blood, and violence begets violence. Nothing more. Revenge is simply another name for murder."
"Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer."
"To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions and that we must live with our consequences, whether glorious or tragic."
"War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other."
“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
" If you're not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. If you're doing something with your life, then it doesn't matter how short your life may be. A life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you're living a life that counts!"
“We are all like fireworks: we climb, we shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even when that time comes, let’s not disappear like a firework and continue to shine.. forever.”
 
"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - Paul Bowles
 
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it is called the present" - Master Oogway, Kung Fu Panda

"You've been here awhile, better wake up before you forget how to." - undergroundghost, tumblr

"Despite everything, it's still you." - Undertale, looking into the mirror in Asgore's House

And most importantly:
"Pick a god and pray." - Fredrick, Fire Emblem Awakening (this one genuinely haunts me, it's so raw)
 
I hope lyrics count as quotes.

Floating away isn’t rough, but it’s not enough

The low tide is telling me when it’s over

- Siberian Breaks

Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me

- Echoes

Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
Now that it's all over and done
Now that you find, now that you're whole

- Close To The Edge

Forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

- Little Dark Age

Random pickings. If I listed all my favorites, I’d be listing entire songs like Crazy Diamond.

We didn’t know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
 
Some more favorites of mine.

"What the crap are you talking about? What I want to know isn't a shortcut, but how to NAVIGATE the difficult and rugged path." -Naruto in Naruto Shippuden

"It is true, in this world those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends... are worse than scum!" -Obito in Naruto Shippuden

"It's because if he stumbles and falls... I'll help him. He would never give up on his dreams or on reality. That's the kind of guy he is. And the way he forges ahead draws others towards him. He makes you want to reach out when he's about to stumble. And the more support behind you, the closer you can get to your goal. That's the difference." -Kakashi in Naruto Shippuden

"When two people choose to accept and understand one another despite their differences, we call this a friendship. And when enough people do this together, something beautiful is born." -???
 
“there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.” ~Eleanor H. Porter
 
“You can choose to go first, you can choose to go last - just as long as you move you’ll be okay” -> words I’ve been clinging to for years. Maybe my favourite quote ever. By whom? Well, they are part of the outro song of ouran highschool host club 😅😂
 
"Without music, life would be a mistake." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.” - Charles Bukowski

"The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone." - Henrik Ibsen

"Come on, God. Answer me. For years I've asked you why. Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is punishment?" - The Punisher
 
“So I’m not Kate Moss. Big deal.”
“Kate Moss isn’t stuck in a sewer pipe.”
“Gee I don’t know. When you really think about it, is there any sewer bigger than the world of professional modeling?”
 
"Quit messing with the fiction!"
-Some random Koala NPC when you hit them with a boomerang in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 (Though I think it's Steam/Switch exclusive, they don't say that in the older iterations)
 
Most of these are Animal Crossing picture quotes and lines of special characters, because they are true to real life.

"And remember that bad times...are just times that are bad."

"Devotion with conditions isn't devotion at all!"

"Work smarter, not harder."

"If you are going to dream, dream big."

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

"What goes around, comes around."

"Nobody's perfect."
 
"But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world."
"It is only with the heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."
"The Land of Tears is so mysterious" all from The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

And a little part of The Song of Achilles (Madeline Miller):
Name one hero who was happy."
I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back.
"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I can't."
"I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret."
"Tell me." I loved it when he was like this.
"I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it."
"Why me?"
"Because you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.
"I swear it," he echoed.
We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
