Life is cruel. Of this I have no doubt. One can only hope that one leaves behind a lasting legacy. But so often, the legacies we leave behind... are not the ones we intended.
— Queen Myrrah ‧ Gears of War 2 (2008)

Spoilers for Gears of War 2
What it means
Our interpretation.
Myrrah considers the gap between the legacy someone wants and the consequences they leave behind. Her reflection makes endurance no guarantee of a worthy outcome. The sombre account of cruelty gives the hope of being remembered a darker, less controllable side.
