Quotes 

• Big Boss : Boss... you were right. It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world... the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own.

• Big Boss : [last words]  This is good... isn't it?

• Big Boss : [to Snake]  If you had been in my place back then, maybe you wouldn't have made the same mistakes I did. Ever since the day I killed The Boss with my own hands, I... was already dead.

• Big Boss : [to Solid Snake]  I never thought of you as a son, but I always respected you as a soldier... and as a man.

• Big Boss : Boss... you say there's only room for one Snake... no... the world is better off... without Snakes...

  [Snake shares a final smoke with Big Boss as he nears his end] 

• Solid Snake : Am I going to die?

  Big Boss : Everyone Dies. You can't stop it. You can't run from it. Let me tell you something... Don't... Don't waste the life you have left fighting.

• Big Boss : [Speaking over The Boss's grave]  Ever since the day I killed The Boss... With my own hands... I... Was already dead. Boss... You were right. It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world... The way it is. It's about respecting the will of others... And believing in your own. Isn't that... What you fought for? At last... I understand the meaning behind what you did. At last... I understand the truth behind your courage.

• Big Boss : Everything has its beginning. But it doesn't start at "one." It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born... from zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as Zero remains, one... will eventually grow to 100 again. And so our goal was to erase Zero. Even the mighty Patriots began with a single man. That one man's desires grew huge, bloated; absorbed technology; began to manipulate the economy. We realized too late that we had created a beast. We had helped turn Zero into 100. His sin was ours. And for that reason, I'm taking it upon myself to send Zero... back to nothing.

• Big Boss : [talking about Ocelot assuming Liquid Snake's personality]  Cats do love to play as Snakes

• Big Boss : It all began with a bunch of old fools. Now they've all passed away, their era of folly is over.

• Big Boss : Zero and I, Liquid and Solidus, we all fought a long, bloody war for our liberty to free ourselves from systems, nations, norms and ages, but no matter how hard we fought, the only liberty we found was on the inside, trapped within those limits. The Boss and I may have taken different paths but in the end, we were both trapped inside the same cage: liberty. But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be... outside.
