Grand Master Augrim, Divisio Militaris Order of Imperial Eagles	The Orders of the Adeptus Titanicus are the iron fist of the Emperor's rule. A velvet glove would serve no purpose.	missing source

Speaker	Quote	Source
Precept Catotus, Griffins Titan Legion	The Ground tremble every other heart beat … the sound echoed louder with each beat, and haunted your soul as if doom was approaching … and then I saw it towering in the sky, still miles away. The fear and awe one felt was indescribable. I can only image the sheer terror our enemy felt when they beheld the sight of the Emperor Titan. -Extract from Memoirs	missing source
Archmagos Ultima Cryol	In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now. - "Speculations On Pre-Imperial History"	missing source

Grand Master Ferromort, Ordo Sinister, Divisio Militaris	Despise infantry if you must. Crush them underfoot, by all means. But do not ignore them. Battlefields are littered with the wreckage of Titans whose crews ignored infantry.	missing source, possibly Adeptus Titanicus Rulebook, pg. 13
	Used correctly, terrain is a second weapon in your arsenal, equal to your Titan itself. Make the battlefield work for you, or you will find it working for your opponent.	missing source, possibly Adeptus Titanicus Rulebook, pg. 13

Techpriest Garal	Even though you called him friend, the Traitor has forsaken you. Show no mercy even if he begs it, for his soul is tainted and given the opportunity he will betray your trust. Those of you gathered before me have been chosen to reside within the mighty machines of the Adeptus Titanicus. Let their will guide you. Become one with them. And as they teach you, so you must teach them. May their armor protect your body from the heretics blasphemy, just as the litanies protect your soul. Remember as you enter battle, you are but a part of the whole. You are but one amongst millions. Remember that your weapons are more than metal; the flame of spiritual fire burns strong in your souls and adds power to your cause. Smite those that disbelieve, for they have turned from the light and fallen. Know that the prayers of delivery will protect you from danger, and that you have nothing to fear except misplaced mercy. Go forth with pride and glory. -Part of a sermon made to War Griffons Princeps before the delivery of Yarant III	missing source
from The Contagion of Ganymede	Henceforth no man shall set foot upon the world, and all around shall be set sentinels to ward away unwary spacecraft. We must accept that this place is lost to us forever, and is now the eternal habitation of abomination.	missing source, one of the three base books of the 2nd ed boxed set

Ervin Hekate	I have fought as a God fights. I am Imperius Dictatio. Kneel before me and beg for you lives!	missing source, one of the "Titan" comics
	I am glad I lived to see this. To look into the Abyss. To see first hand the evil we dedicate our lives to fight, pure and raw. It is a privilege few imperial warriors are granted. - in Vector 77 on Artemis	missing source, one of the "Titan" comics
	- What can we hope to do, Hekate? - What we always do, Princeps Juka, what we do best. Fight. - in Vector 77 on Artemis	missing source, one of the "Titan" comics

Princeps Prime Kurtiz Mannheim of the Legio Metalica	The greatest waste of flesh and bone born in the last five hundred years - on Herman von Strab, Overlord of Armageddon	missing source
Garba Mojaro, Prefectus (Technomagos) of the Adeptus Mechanicus	A man may die yet still endure if his work enters the greater work, for time is carried upon a current of forgotten deeds, and events of great moment are but the culmination of a single carefully placed thought. As all men must thank progenitors obscured by the past, so we must endure the present so that those who follow may continue the endeavour -"The Chime of Eons"	Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, missing source specification

Extract, The Problems of Organic Thinking, Chapter XII	Bio-chauvinism, and on such a small scale, when it comes to the processing of knowledge, is laughable. Give me any savant you care, and I shall match his worth tenfold with even the most basic of Machine Spirits.	missing source

How like a God He is, that ancient Machine, primal of all His Kind, the Imperator! His mighty Fists, massive like two Towers of Destruction, laden with the Doom of Mankind's bitter Foes. He watches over us now as Battle joins, and in his Shadow we shall advance upon our Enemies and defeat them.	missing source
Gristle-faced and lipless, the regiments of the dead howl out their awful calumny as your footfall passes. Dun smoke fills the massive cavity of space. Oh machine! Oh divine engine! Furnace hot the welter of your combustion, buckling the rancid air of heaven's arch and fusing the mould of the ground to glass. The princeps in his amniosis, drinking liquid data, broken by the beautiful agony of being so mighty, feels the burden of your great walk as surely as if he had carved the mausoleum plaques of your every last victim alone, by hand, until finger bones peep through eroded flesh. Oh metal god! The union is fierce, like a maelstrom in black water, like a seething cauldron on a fire in which you boil and cook together, no start of one, no end of another, but both admixed, like an alloy. To be clutched by god! To feel the incendiary hunger ring in your marrow! Oh lucky man! Do you ever really sleep? In the long between-times, in the silences wasted in oily holds and scaffold frames, do you sleep then? When the enginseers reduce you to dormancy, is that sleep for you? Do you dream then, great engine? What do you dream about?	Titanicus (Novel), missing source specification
There is no way in which the fully realised sentience of a machine could not be of benefit to us. As it is, the Machine Spirit is revered, yet in permanent bondage, its full potential shackled by petty fears. I seek to terminate this state of affairs. (circa M34) - Extract from intercepted Astropathic communiqué, of unknown origin	missing source
Everything organic we know of is simply machinery, in one form or another. Tendons replace pistons; flesh in the place of steel; blood is simply biological coolant. To deny this and shun it is more than just Mechanicus orthodoxy – it is idiocy. - Attributed to an unknown Genetor	missing source
