This page is a collection of my favourite quotes, both from the Elder Scrolls and elsewhere. Mostly in case people ask, as I tend to have favourite books rather than favourite lines. But, in any case here we go:

Vehk took from it its feet, which had been constructed before the gift of Molag Bal and destroyed in the manner of truth: by a great hammering. - 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 36

''"It was unfashionable among the Dwemer to view their spirits as synthetic constructs three, four, or forty creational gradients below the divine. During the Dawn Era they researched the death of the Earth Bones, what we call now the laws of nature, dissecting the process of the sacred willing itself into the profane. I believe their mechanists and tonal architects discovered systematic regression techniques to perform the reverse -- that is, to create the sacred from the deaths of the profane. As the Dwemer left no corpses or traces of conflict behind, I believe that generations of ritualistic 'anti-creations' resulted in their immediate, but foreseen removal from the Mundus. They retreated behind math, behind color, behind the active principle itself. That the Dwemer vanished during a conflict with Nerevar and the Tribunal is merely coincidence." - ''Baladas Demnevanni

Heimskr's Sermon

''"Some would say that all things must end, so that the next can come to pass. Perhaps this world is simply the Egg of the next kalpa? Lein vokiin? Would you stop the next world from being born?" - ''Paarthurnax

"It's a reflection of all possible features and all possible pasts. Each reader sees different reflections through different lenses, and may come away with a very different reading. But at the same time, all of it is true. Even the falsehoods. Especially the falsehoods." - Urag gro-Shub

This is actually a beautiful Star Trek Deep Space Nine reference

"Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." - Zurin Arctus
