The God of War series is not only loved for its great fights and incredible story narration but also for great and touching phrases.
It is in the conversations put into the game that audiences are presented with profound insights, showered with passion and heavy pondering over what it means to be a god, a man, and have a life of pride and Destiny.
Below are the 12 quotes from God of War that reflect some of the scenes that most players remember to date.
1. “The cycle ends here. We must be better.”
The following is the quote from God of War (2018) The line is more about Kratos trying to free himself from the endless chain of violence. It means that he wants to give the best to Atreus who was raised not planning for the future like his father Tyndareus did.
2. “Do not be sorry. Be better.”
More brutally, a powerful message that Kratos wants his son, Atreus to learn through example. Krogan wants Atreus to learn from failure, and not dwell on it, which is why he gets annoyed with him. This philosophy entertained many players which symbolized the growth of Kratas as a father.
3. “Close your heart to it.”
During their travels, Kratos tells Atreus to shut out all sense of empathy and sorrow to the world. This quote captures Kratos’ survivors’ approach to life based on his past pain, and his efforts to protect Atreus from the real world.
4. “We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been.”
This quote turns directly to Kratos’ violence – past and present – and his desire to face the consequences as he moves forward, and chooses to build a better future for himself and Atreus. Perhaps it is one of the most philosophical Moby Dick movies which tells about the possibility to escape from the gods and fate’s predestination.
5. “You are not ready.”
Another boy’s adventure moment is reflected in a phrase Kratos frequently uses with Atreus through the words “You are not ready”. He constantly underestimates his son that they have conflicts with each other but they both progress as the drama unfolds.
6. “Don’t mistake me for a friend.”
That in turn makes Freya overly eager and alive to help Kratos and Atreus but wants them to know that it is not for a benevolent purpose. This barb says a lot about Freya, hints at her part in the future of the story, and makes one think twice about who are friends and enemies.
7. “You are but a shadow of the man I once knew.”
Zeus says this line in God of War III; it becomes the sharpened dagger memory of what the gods think of Kratos now. They spice up the show and paint the gods as people who don’t like Kratos then end up setting the platform for departure.
8. “A Spartan never lets his back hit the ground.”
Recalling the Spartan credo in God of War III Kratos is reminded of the rigorous nature of the training process. It is a proclamation about endurance and also a battle cry of Kratos as he goes directly against his opponents without Any The English version of this page has no less than 5 translations of a quote from a game: It is proclaimed endurance and also a call to fight of Kratos going directly read opposite opponents without retreating.
9. “Do you even know of godhood?”
This line of Baldur is full of annoyance with his immortality when he questions Kratos’ perception of what a god is. His diction works to embody a core concept of gods dealing with who they are and the fact that they suffer immortality.
10. “My story doesn’t end hiding in these woods. I should be out there, finding out who I am, who Loki is.”
Atreus here speaks with resolve, and we see some glimpses of the man he will grow into. This line nudges the spectator to the series’ core idea revealing Loki’s true self and his eagerness to learn more about the origins.
11. “You must decide what you want to be.”
Mimir seems to give great life advice to both Kratos and Atreus as they try to find themselves and fight the battles they have to. This quote covers choice and free will as a basic philosophical concept calling on the characters to take responsibility for their lives.
12. “Death can have me when it earns me.”
Both as the motif of Kratos’ character and as a message from Kratos’ point of view, this quote is a powerful statement of defiance. Kratos was a man who fought gods and monsters and as such he’s not willing to surrender until the day he dies, and even then it is only deserved if death has earned the right to take him.
