(As some of you probably guessed, this is indeed "Oskar's Quotes" from the Wingfeather Saga forum rebranded to GE)
So basically, this is just a thread where you can share a quote, be it from a book, movie, tv show, speech, historic event, etc. (it can be GE, but doesn't have to be), and other people try to guess what it's from or who said it. There's no scoring system or specific rule set; it's very much just for fun. The only "rules" would really just be common courtesy; like, don't spam with a bunch of quotes all at once, I guess.
(Also keep it family-friendly in terms of language and content, but that kind of goes without saying)
Have fun, everyone!

Your generation, like mine, will endure because the old verities you sneer at will prevail. Beauty and truth and honor.
You designed me to protect children, knowing that I would begin with yours. But Milo and Luna are not the only children in the galaxy. There are billions more under threat.

The other had now achieved a unity of its own; but it was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated; and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of many trumpets braying upon a few notes. And it essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but it seemed that its most triumphant notes were taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern."
Well, since nobody guessed: it’s from Twice Magic, book two of Cressida Cowell’s The Wizards of Once.
