Assassins Creed Quotes
Posted by lmarrott 11 years, 3 months ago to Philosophy
I am a fan of the Assassins Creed series and one of the main reasons I love the games is because of the "Creed" that the Assassins live by. You actually have to get into the first game a ways before you start get the explanation and quotes that I love but I wanted to share a few with you here.
Assassins Creed - Nothing is true. Everything is permited.
"Where other men blindly follow the truth, Remember, nothing is true Where other men are limited by morality or law, Remember, everything is permitted. We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins." -Ezio Auditore de Firenze
"To recognize nothing is true and everything is permitted. That laws arise not from divinity, but reason. I understand now that our creed does not command us to be free. It commands us to be wise." -Altair
I'm sure there are other good quotes from the games, but these are a couple of my favorite.
Thoughts?

"...Ok, I guess I'm the Department Head of the Redundancy Department."
Nothing is true. This is interesting. very Plato. I prefer Aristotle.
“The investigation of the truth is in one way hard, in another easy. An indication of this is found in the fact that no one is able to attain the truth adequately, while, on the other hand, no one fails entirely, but everyone says something true about the nature of all things, and while individually they contribute little or nothing to the truth, by the union of all a considerable amount is amassed.”
You have the perfectly cynical cluster in these quotes. Just remember the truth will happen whether you believe it exists or not. I think LS said that....lol
A is A.
In I was I was simply surprised to find messages like this in a game and wonder how many people really pick up on it.
The plot of every game is the Assassins against the Knights Templars, just Templars for short. The Templars want to force people to obey and control their lives "for the good of all" while the Assassins want people to be free to make their own choices.
It was a good experience and I probably love my country even more having served in the military.
