Nothing is true, Everything is permitted.

It was my job to take care of you. We were supposed to take care of each other. And we did

I recognize Halo 4, but what's the first one ? reminds me of the haitian man in Limits of Control : The universe has no border. No end either. Reality is arbitrary (from memory)

Assassin's Creed. It's their maxim/motto. It leads into a whole discussion from Ezio about what it means, where he basically says by taking part in the world, we are responsible for driving change to make it better, nothing is set in stone; and we may not always know how are actions may end, but ultimately we need to do the best we can, and own the consequences, good or bad.

The actual quote:

"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 their consequences, whether glorious or tragic."

The standard Ottoman hook blade has two parts, you see… the hook and the blade
