I remember reading about a Dremora in one of the earlier TES games (PROBABLY Arena or Daggerfall) which speaks to the player (I presume) about the differences between Daedra and mortals, in a polite and inspirational way. All I remember from the quote are things such as "humans are short lived and therefore innovative" or something like that, he basically states what he admires about mortals.

Anyone have this quote or know what I'm talking about?

Imago Storm: Mortals are short-lived, ignorant, and feeble by contrast with the Daedra. But you mortals are also potent engines of change and innovation, of desperate and reckless improvisation and industry. Thus do we so prize the fruits of your mundane and arcane engineering. Thus do we bargain and plunder and steal to gain these treasures. We have lived too long, and grow dull and complacent. You live too short, and so are wonderfully sharp and inventive. Does that make sense?

That's the one! Thanks so much!

I like this quote a lot.
