Pretty much Title, I would like to know what Quote in question would be and what's the Idea/Meaning you have of it
I know this might be difficult to grasp so giving my 2 Cents would be:
Charity is power. More charity is more power
From Parvos Granum, my interpretation kinda leans towards the value of Life, being pretty much invaluable (or prohibitely expensive) You cannot buy a Life, but trough Helping (Charity) you can be owed one.
I wouldnt set a Foot in this place for all the Ayatan in the System. You on the other hand
From Maroo, on her Weekly Ayatan Hunt Quest I get a sense that this phrase can be interpreted as a Critique to those willing to do "Anything" for Money. Basically negating to sell your Dignity.

"That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be."
There's so many things in society that this applies to, like the fact that social media algorithms are designed to make you addicted.

I empathically agree. In fact, just the other day I was thinking about this very thing: how so much if society, economy and, well, everything is build on lies. Bigger or smaller, but still lies.
90% of all advertising (and I'm being optimistic here) is lies. Colorful packages lie to us in stores and cashier's smile fake smiles at us as we buy them. To get money to buy stuff, we lie on our resumes, responding to companies that lie in their job offers. Then we keep lying to our bosses during quarterly evaluations, and they lie back to us, promising that that raise will surely happen next time... Then we go back home and watch mostly lies on TV or read them online.
Ugh, wait, damn, I'm on a video game sub, apologies ;) Anyway, great quote!

For the memes... I must.
But more seriously I'll think about it and edit later on.

I was absolutely expecting this AND Clem Grakata. Not dissapointed

It hit me so hard when I first heard Mathila said “You all want Happiness, but none of you wants to put in the work.” Don’t call me out like that…

I actually think the entirety of Duviri is meant to satirise the Orokin, and what they represent in the real world. The dragons are all fables meant to inculcate certain values, and Mathila's overall theme (and what DE is critiquing) is the idea of "tough love". Mathila is unempathetic and cruel. I wouldn't put any stock in her words, or any of the "advice" Euleria gives.

Love this take! Every time DE shows us something about the Orokin, they show us another glimpse of how they were complete, raging assholes.

Holy shit that line hit me hard too, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons
To elaborate, Im definitely the Happier person of my social circle, despite us all going trough the same things (excluding personals obviously) I never shared a Pessimist thought while they did it quite often and in such Ocassions I also tried to brighten things up or look at the positive if not neutral side
When we played Duviri together Mathila's dialogue made me very self concious, im probably a toxic positivity person and my friends had to snap me out of it

Hey don’t overthink it too much, we all need that friend sometimes. Life is hard and everyone knows it, sometimes it’s good to be reminded of other perspectives.

Operator, I've been thinking. I thought you'd want to know.

I really like Cy's quote that the opposite of a great truth, is another great truth

"We all lift together."
We really all do.

I wish, wish this were true. Because there are griefers out there who couldn’t give 2 credits for their fellow Tenno. This is especially evident in the chosen bright colors of AoE weapons!

Seconding Cy's quote on truth. I'm sure if I spent more time with the Solari I'd have one or two from them I'd forward but sadly my PC really doesn't like the open worlds so I'm not there enough to remember/have encountered really good ones.

I always liked Teshin's "Your weapons make music, and the enemy calls for a song."

Teshin has a lot of bangers, my personal favourite of him:

Now I feel a little dirty for buying all the drifter Duviri weapons with plat.
On the other hand, I didn’t buy any of that plat.

"Voicelog. To ease the separation from Cephalon Suda, I've started a friendly discourse with the ship cephalon. I genuinely think he likes me."
Same, girl, same. I wake up every day missing Suda.

Not a quote I can stand for or such, but the entire spiel of Cephelon Jordas breaks my heart every time I hear it.
The desperation with the inability to control himself hits hard for me.
