For 40k, I actually feel like “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates open and unbarred” is a cooler, if less iconic quote. It just conveys the ridiculous dystopia of the Imperium so well and so quickly.

But yeah gotta love the classic BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! YOUR CORPSE-EMPEROR WILL NOT SAVE YOU!

A more recent one that really struck me hard was the date lines in True Detective - Night Country.

Dec. 22nd Third Day of Night

It really grounded me how fucking creepy it must be to see the sunset and know it’s not coming back for months.
