“Men always seem to think about their past before they die, as though they were frantically searching for proof that they truly lived.”
“I think the only time people really have value is when they act according to their own will.”
“I think everything in this world is beautiful. The sky, birds, bugs, frogs, flowers, and even rocks. Because, if God created this world, could there really be anything dirty and ugly in it?”
“It's no use. It's akin to love. Akin to the first kiss. It only works once.”
“Everyone is alone. Everyone is empty. People no longer have need of others. You can always find a spare for any replacement. Any relationship can be replaced.”

“A king without greed is even worse than a figurehead! Saber, you said you would become a martyr for your ideals. In life, you must have been a pure saint. A proud and noble figure, certainly. But who can truly admire the martyr's thorny path? Who dreams of such an ending? A king... The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things, good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration, to be as the king is, can burn within his people. Proud king of chivalry... The righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However, I'm certain you know what became of those who were saved, but left to themselves. You saved them, but you never led them. You never showed them what a king should be. You abandoned your men when they lost their way. Then, alone and untroubled, you followed your own petty little ideals. Thus, you are no true king. You are only a little girl, enraptured by a false idol of the king who serves others, but not themselves.”

“There are no convenient miracles, and there is logic that should be inviolable.”
“Do you know how many civilizations are crowded together in the universe and how much energy is used up in one second? Eventually, you humans, will leave this planet as well, and join us. You wouldn't want to be handed an empty, desolate universe then, would you?”
“Women who cannot become princesses have no choice but to become witches.”
“A writer once said that "a designer knows he has achieved perfection not when he has nothing left to add, but when he has nothing left to take away".”
“If you've forgotten death... then you've forgotten what it truly means to be alive.”
