I can't remember where this quote is from. I think Star Trek.

MY fault? I did help out here and there from behind the scenes, but I just helped you get what YOU wanted! The only things you COULD have gotten from all this! Old friends, and recognition of your beliefs, and a just and righteous WAR. I didn't need to facilitate any of the consequences... you humans didn't need the help.

All I did was expedite the process. If I'd just sat back, you'd still have had a decent chance of succeeding just as horribly. It was really only a matter of time until you people started a war over something so universal - no... GLOBAL; you never did reach the stars, did you? - that in time, EVERYONE would get involved, whether with their weapons or simply their LIVES. For want of some rights, the ponies were lost. For want of the ponies, your patience was lost. For want of your patience, the balance was lost. And all for the want of a technicolor equine.

Oh, don't worry. I've no doubt that you humans will survive this. You humans survive EVERYTHING, whether it's a good idea or not. Not that I have a problem with that! I'll need SOMEONE to keep my kingdom running. Just imagine. A bunch of primitively-living Homo Sapiens ritualistically maintaining machines they'll never again understand, in the name of some deity or other. Oh, you think I want that honor? Ohoho, no, I can think of someone FAR more deserving. G'l-dahn Haa-vahss, Goddess of Love. Yes, that sounds about right. Love's what'll have gotten them there, after all. YOUR love.

If you remember who said this let me know.
