Moving quotes from Space Marine Quotes made about the Grey Knights and Deathwatch
{{InquisitionPortal}}
This article collects famous quotes made by members of, or about, the [[Inquisition]], sorted in alphabetical order. This article includes members of the [[Space Marine]] [[Inquisition#Chamber_Militant|Chamber Millitant]], the [[Grey Knights]] and [[Deathwatch]]. For quotes made by, or about, members of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] see their [[Ecclesiarchy Quotes|dedicated article]], and for the members of their [[Inquisition#Chamber_Militant|Chamber Millitant]] the [[Adepta Sororitas]], see their [[Adepta Sororitas Quotes|dedicated article]].
N.B. Inquisitors utter statements about other factions all the time; such quotes should preferably be collected in other articles (e.g. a quote made by an Inquisitor about the [[Eldar]] should be collected in the [[Eldar Quotes]] article).

|align=center|'''''So great has been the calamitousness of these times, and such the inveterate malice of the heretics, that there has been nothing ever so clear in our statement of faith, nothing so surely settled, which they, at the instigation of the enemy of the human race, have not defiled by some sort of error. For which cause the holy Inquisition hath made it Its especial care to condemn and anathematise the principal errors of the heretics of our time, and to deliver and teach the true and Imperial doctrine; even as It has condemned, anathematised, and decreed.'''''

|align=center|'''''We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]], so we will build our own memorial here. The [[Chapter]] might lose us and the [[Imperium]] might never know we existed, but the [[Great Enemy|Enemy]] - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the [[Emperor]] vanquishes it at the end of time. When [[Chaos]] is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won.'''''
