** “Archmagus Zelkyr set me to this task, Eldavin of Izril. ''He'' will decide when I am to be relieved. Only his words, no one else’s.”
** “You will not slander my master! He was an [Archmage]! Greatest of his kind! Without flaw or failure!”
** “My master’s will remains his will. That is all I will say, Magus. Nothing will sway me.”
** “You do not know the answer. I did not give it to you.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ To] [[Eldavin]]:
** “How dare you? You—I have never met you before. Yet you come to Wistram, you presume to walk into my life, insult all I hold dear, and ''force'' me to change?”
**“I see. But this is what gives me life. This is all I am. The years I have been faithful, my love, my purpose, my ''loss—''my sister was broken on Rhir. All of me is in this. Do not take it from me. Please, Grand Magus.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ Exclaiming]) “''Zelkyr! ZELKYR. Why did you leave me behind? Why did you take her? Why—''why didn’t you love me?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ To everyone]) “I am Cognita. Cognita of Wistram, as some named me. I am the same Golem who stood by Archmage Zelkyr’s side. That I do not prove my strength does not diminish who I am. It is foolish to assume otherwise. But that is your failing. Perhaps you have forgotten. Then: this is a reminder.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ To] [[Dawil Ironbreaker|Dawil]]) “Interesting. I did not know that. Thank you for telling me.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ To] [[Eldavin]]) “[[Zelkyr Amerwing|He]] was more than a fool, Grand Magus. He was not always a hero. He was neither extreme. You lie well, but you do lie. I have finished here. There is little truth for me. I came here to judge. Isn’t that what you desired?”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ To] [[Aaron Vanwell|Aaron]], [[Elena Othonos|Elena]] and [[George]]:
**“Your world does not interest me as much as the [Mages], Aaron Vanwell. This, though. Your Earth is a world without magic. You people of numbers and metal…you still made something and named it to be like me.”
**“You want to create something more perfect than you. And you want it to ''help'' you. You intend to create something that bears affection for you? How funny. Why would it help? Perfection cares nothing for you.”
**“One day, it will disappear. Some day, if you make people greater than me, they will behold you fully, their creators. They ''will'' judge you and see exactly what you are worth.”
**“The thing you hate and fear, that you will try to prevent and, ultimately, fail at is this: when we judge you, we will do it fairly. Or we will do it as you would to others. Make no mistake. If we live, someday, we will.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/15/interlude-songs-and-stories/ To] [[Barelle]]) “I would speak it. If you could survive it. There are words that Golems know that even [Bards] lack. Someday, Barelle. When you are a truly great [Bard], seek me out. I hope you will accomplish it before the end of your life.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/23/8-64-k/ To] [[Minizi]]) “Repair yourselves. Do not let yourselves be destroyed.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/23/8-64-k/ To] [[Rasea Zecrew|Rasea]]) “''I am Cognita. Leave or die, Rasea Zecrew. You and your crew are not welcome here.''”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/23/8-64-k/ To] [[Trey Atwood|Troy]]) “I will remember this, Troy Atlas. ''You have been marked.''”
