“Give me a bit of time with him. I’ll convince him to be open minded.”

“You discount the ability to change his mind?”

“I deny its existence.”

- Conversation with Lorgar regarding Perturabo

“You deny these things exist because it is convenient. To unchain ourselves from evil we must first acknowledge that it exists.”

- to Mortarion

“You spared the little ones. Proving once again that you are no slave to those implants of yours. You should know that I am proud of you. You should know that -he- is proud of you.”

- to Angron

“Exquisite. How can the flesh be weak when it produces this?”

- to Ferrus Manus

“If you want to conquer a civilization, send Perturarbo. If you want to kill it, send Fulgrim. If you want to protect it, send Vulkan. If you wish to erase it from memory, send [REDACTED]. But if you wish to accomplish any of these things without firing a shot, then send Konrad, and give him five minutes to whisper in the right person’s ear while she dreams…”

- The Second Primarch, “On the Primarchs,” Volume II (Banned)

“If I could save humanity without firing a shot, I would. If I could save it by signing a treaty, I would do so. Much as it grieves me, the simple reality of our task is one of a magnitude requiring nothing less than the killing of a star…”

“You are no hero. You are not a knight of old: there is no chivalry in the kind of war that we must fight. You are not a saint, you are not a hero of old reborn. You are most certainly no angel. That is not our way. We are death: we make the galaxy a desert, and call it peace.”

- to Lion’El Jonson

“Do not allow appearances to be your only measure of the deadly serious task we undertake on behalf of the human race. My cadaverous appearance is a result of the environmental effects of my youth; I am but one of twenty Reapers.”

- to an Iterator (unnamed)

“Our Sister is right, you know. You have all the personality of a Mongolian death worm in hibernation.”

- to Ferrus Manus

“I underestimated the Aeldari once. I assumed that our descriptions of a dying race implied weakness and an inability to do much more than put together some sort of showy, demonstrably heroic but ultimately suicidal last stand. I was wrong. As I say, I underestimated them, once. Witchery and fanaticism can only be purged with a hotter sort of fire….”

“(Perturarbo) hates me because I refuse to hate him. He saw a rivalry where one did not exist, and created one. There is no rivalry except in his own mind. That would presuppose that I did not rate his work highly. That would presuppose that I felt threatened by his role. That would presuppose that I was unsympathetic to the brutal reality of his vision being sacrificed to the needs of the many. And it would presuppose that I was as petty and arrogant as he does not believe himself to be.”

“When first we met, I had the opportunity to take a moment with The Second. To closely discuss with [Redacted] the nature of duty and the inescapability that duty forces us to sublimate portions of our own free will. I knew that we would forever be friends. Here was a person I could call family. I would rely on few others to behave as [Redacted] does. I could count them on one hand, even if that hand had less than five fingers…”
