"They're going to pay for making my little brother cry! I can't forgive anyone who makes my family cry!
"It's payback time, y'all! Now, where's my horny woman at?!"
"If you ain't got the power to do it alone, we'll be there to back you up!"
"There ain't no past or present with family. New or old, family is family."
"Giet, you always been my family! And you always will be 'til the day I die!"
"You said that your creed was to never give up on living, no matter what may happen. If you really believe that... would you say that you're living right now? Because to me, you don't look like someone truly living."
"Laphicet, tell this self absorbed idiot what she needs to hear!"
"If it means getting my tunnels, I'll build an island, too."
"Damnation, Magilou! My sister doesn't have any guy clinging onto her! Do you know something I don't? Prove it! Bring him here right now!"
"There's nothing I hate more than someone else trying to control the direction of my life. My wheel is mine to hold. If I'm not the one steering the ship, then I'm not truly alive."
"What's wrong? You look like you just swallowed a bug. ...Oh, wait, you always look like that."
"I hate teaching. I don't take apprentices. I don't impart knowledge."
"Hah hah. Are you trying to cheer me up? You've somewhat missed the mark... but I appreciate the sentiment."
"I would ask you to die, yes. If I were an emperor with a country to consider. But as your friend... I feel compelled to stop you."
"But no matter how much you change or regret your actions, not all of what you've done will be forgiven. That's why you must come back alive. Or rather... I hope you do."
"I've traveled back in time from next week. Please stop throwing monsters at us."
"It should be. The crablette is the finest food in the world. In fact, I think they should make National Crablette Day!"
"This time I won't let them get hurt!"
"Hubert was shy... but he tried his best, and always worried about everyone."
"I dreamt I was riding in a huge blossomgale, and we went to a beautiful meadow where I fell asleep."
"Have you forgotten what you said to King Ingobert about Natalia? Your memories of those seven years together were real. For you and your parents."
"You said you were going to start with what you can do, right? One person can't do much alone. But people can work together. I... we're with you."
"If you tell me you've made your decision, I'll trust that you've thought it through. But that doesn't mean I'll agree with your choice. If you make this choice, and the miasma disappears... I'll hate you. Everyone else may call you a hero, but I'll never forgive you."
"It will. Tomorrow... and the day after... and on and on."
"Hypothesizing about not having been born is meaningless. You're living your own life. Experiences that only you know. Feelings that only you feel. Don't deny them. You're here."
"Arthur. I finally have an answer to your question. 'Why do you think that birds fly?' Birds fly because they want to fly. They don't need a reason. Even if their wings snap and doom them to die. They don't fly for anyone's benefit. They don't fly because they were ordered to. Birds fly because they want to, and for no other reason!"
"I… I loved them all…! I loved Laphi… and Celica… Arthur… Everyone… To have it all stolen from me… Why them? Why not me? It hurts so much...!"
"A reason? To spare the world of its pain? Don't give me that! Who will spare my brother's pain? Who will soothe my brother's despair? He murdered my little brother Laphi! And you'll stand there and tell me it was for the greater good?!"
"...Coo, coo."
"But that's exactly why I can't forgive them. Not Artorius, not Innominat… I know my heart is ugly, and full of contradictions. But those days we spent together in familial warmth, they're proof that I… that all of us… were truly alive. That's why no matter how hard, no matter how sad it gets, I will take my vengeance to the very end!"
