And for an older homage:
"In my talons, I shape clay, crafting lifeforms as I please.
Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel.
For my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth.
My whims will become lightning bolts that will devastate the mounds of humanity.
Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy.
I am drunk with this vision.
God: the title suits me well."
-Shodan, System Shock 1
. . . greatest quote i've ever heard from a villian/baddy EVER
