Video games can help people of all ages escape from reality for a little while. While a lot of gamers go on missions, battle grotesque boss fights and unlock hidden secrets, a lot of the video games we play can give out dialogue about the basic facts of life and can even uplift us in times of sorrow and despair. Here are some of the best quotes that come from video games that revolve around the basics of and the importance of real life.

Let's be honest: Some of us learned lessons from people who never even existed. (As strange as that sounds to a lot of people.) But underneath the amazing and colorful graphics and gameplay, these games have been teaching us these lessons and morals for years, and that's just another reason that these games are loved by many.
