Assassin's Creed: Revelations (2011 Video Game)

Roger Craig Smith: Ezio Auditore Da Firenze

Quotes 

• Sofia Sartor : You mentioned a creed before. What is it?

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

  Sofia Sartor : That is rather cynical.

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : It would be if it were doctrine. But it is merely an observation on the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions and that we must live with our consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : I heard your name once before, Desmond, a long time ago. And now it lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream. I do not know where you are, or by what means you can hear me. But I know you are listening.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : [singing]  The things I do to save the world surprise me time to time. Like learning how to play the lute and making these words rhyme.

• Sofia Sartor : Who are you, messere?

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Only the most interesting man in your life.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : [singing]  I am a tactless minstrel, I sing off-key for coins. If you spot me in the street, please kick me in the loins.

• Yusuf Tazim : [Grabs Ezio by his shoulder]  Hoshgeldin kardeshim! Unless the legend is a lie, you are the man I long to meet. Reowned master and mentor, Ezio Auditore de la la la!

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Prego?

  Yusuf Tazim : Forgive me. I have a hard time remembering that Italian gibberish.

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Da Firenze. The city where I was born.

  Yusuf Tazim : Ah yes! So by your custom I would be... Yusuf Tazim da Istanbul! I like that.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : [singing]  Young Cesare, I heard him say, could not be killed by man. So I tossed him through the air to see where he might land.

• Ahmet : We both strive for the same end, Ezio. Only our methods differ. Do you not see that? Peace. Stability. A world where men live without fear. People desire the truth, yes, but even when they have it, they refuse to look. How do we fight this kind of ignorance?

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Liberty can be messy, Ahmet. But it is priceless.

  Ahmet : Of course. And when things fall apart, and the lights of civilization dim, Ezio Auditore can stand above the darkness and say proudly, "I stayed true to my Creed."

• Yusuf Tazim : Ottoman soldiers have a special loathing for these Byzantine thugs. That gives us some breathing room.

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : How much?

  Yusuf Tazim : Eh, just a little. They'll still kill you if you look at them wrong, but they will feel bad about it later.

• Manuel Palailogos : You take advantage of a poor and displaced people, using us to further your own vain quest! But we fight for dignity, Assassin. We fight to restore peace to this troubled land.

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Templars are always quick to talk of peace, but very slow to concede power.

  Manuel Palailogos : Because power begets peace, vláka

  [idiot] 

  Manuel Palailogos : ! It cannot happen in reverse. These people would drown without a firm hand to lift them up, and keep them in line!

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : There he is. The monster I came to kill.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : You disappoint me, Ahmet. Why the Templars?

  Ahmet : Because I am tired of all these pointless blood feuds that pit father against son, brother against brother. To achieve true peace, mankind must think and move as one body, with one master mind. The secrets in the Grand Temple will give us just that. And Altaïr will lead us there.

  Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Delusions. Altaïr's secrets are not for you.

• Ezio Auditore Da Firenze : Brothers, sisters. The whole city rises against us while Yusuf's murderer waits and watches from the arsenal, laughing. Fight with me, and show him what it means to cross the Assassins!
