BioShock Infinite Loading Screen Quotes

This is a list of all loading screen quotes appearing while loading checkpoints in BioShock Infinite and its downloadable content, Burial at Sea - Episode 1 and Episode 2. Those quotes from Booker DeWitt in the first two stories and Elizabeth in the last one are their own thoughts on the different events they encounter during the game, and serve as reminders to players of the quests at hand. They are usually attributed to a set of locations and quests instead of definite levels.
