I've always found the quotes from Dwarf Fortress quite funny. Things said by people in the game itself like "It is inevitable." or, "This is a fight! Ahhhhhhh! No!" So I did a brief search for a thread about them and didn't find one. So, what is your favorite thing you've heard said by Dwarf Fortress. It could be a general phrase that shows up like "It is for the best.", it could be a specific use of one of those phrases like a time you told somebody that you killed their father and they said "It is for the best.", or it could be a phrase which has specific places for words not directly defined which ended up quite funny, like my favorite one "When you wake in the morning, consider suicide." or "How are you?" "I'm considering rivers."

Personally I liked the bugged;

"In a time before time, I attacked me".

After all, in a way we are all our own worst enemy

It was inevitable.

[Egan_BW]

It was inevitable.

It was inevitable.

Life is, in a word suicide.

If you found a stranger covered in blood and their own tears sleeping in your hut what would you do?
obviously you just passively-aggresively ask them "Can I help you?"

Death all around me...Begone fear!

[Urlance Woolsbane]

Where to begin...

"Sometimes animals just get out of control."

"Death is all around us! The horror!" etc, from the band of goblins that's just killed you in cold blood.

"How great it is to be surrounded by family!"
"Tell me about your relatives."
"I have no family to speak of."

Not mine, but someone had a world in which a child said "In a time before time, I saw myself die."

Oh, and there was the world I painted to be a bunch of islands.
(Me, to Necromancer): "Tell me about your relatives."
Necromancer: "Human McHuman is my maternal grandmother. She is also my aunt."

Various permutations of "Urist punches the Elephant in the head and the injured part explodes into gore!"

[SimRobert2001]

Oh, and there was the world I painted to be a bunch of islands.
(Me, to Necromancer): "Tell me about your relatives."
Necromancer: "Human McHuman is my maternal grandmother. She is also my aunt."

There... there... there are no words... how is that possible?

DF genetics are... interesting, let's say.

Basically, while it's not possible for siblings to marry, in DF, it is possible for aunts and uncles to marry their nephews and nieces. That this was on an island probably helped.

Player: "You look like a mighty warrior."
NPC: "I'm four!"


And the inevitable "It was inevitable"

[Enemy post]

It was inevitable.

It was inevitable.

It was inevitable.

[Literal]

Amid civilians fleeing for their lives:

Miner - "I'm feeling optimistic for the future."

I love 42.01.
