Lacus Clyne — memorable quote from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

“Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war... Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something that only humans could do. They're two sides of the same coin... to protect something... another must be sacrificed.”

“Everyone has to decide for themselves which choice to make. If you fight, people may die... but if you don't fight, people may still die. There's no "right" or "wrong" choice to make.”

“The smell of blood, gunpowder and iron. This is what humanity's all about. Well then, the man in charge must always lead from the front. And yet be the last one to die.”

“As long as it's for the right cause, there's nothing wrong with playing dirty.”

“All heroes have established their thrones atop, not just their enemies. But a large quantity of allied corpses as well. There are no monarchs with clean hands.”
