“The briefest glimpse of your smile is far more dazzling than any fireworks display.”
“We mock their desperate wishes, and trample them like insects! Cowardly, base - we're more demonic than demons are! I'm just like them. I'm full of the same ugliness they were. This is how humans are. It's how we are, Sebastian!”
“...And the unbreaking bonds will... The bonds will... Ah, what was it? Ah, well. There was a bunch of stuff about the unbreakable bonds that you'll have to deal with while your guts overflow! Show the results of your everyday training and guts! Show off that splendor and guts to those weaklings without it! To make this tournament the best memory ever! By overcoming all sorts obstacles through trial and hardship and getting up everytime we fall down! OVERCOME EVERYTHING WITH GUTS!!”
“No matter how many good deeds you perform, your past sins cannot be erased.”
“Once my stomach settles down... You better be prepared, 'cause we'll really give you something to cry about in the mat... ugh... ch... uughh...”
“You just went for my head, didn't you? You know you could kill someone by hitting a vital spot in their head, right? If you know this, then you were trying to kill me, right? So whatever I do next is what you deserve, right?”
“I, Okazaki Nagisa, will no longer cry. No matter what painful things I face, I’ll hang in there and overcome it. But, I might cry during moments of happiness. I hope that you can get along… with someone like me.”
“Your so-called "self-sacrifice" only satisfies yourself. Do you think you can save people with it? You're only protecting yourself! You don't know the suffering endured by those left alive. With your childish actions, you're only pushing the pain onto other people!”
“You know… When something bad happens, I don’t like thinking it was someone else’s fault. See, if it’s someone else’s fault, then there’s nothing I, personally, can do about it. I want to think it’s all up to me. If that’s the case, then I can do something about the things that go wrong. Then I can always run and always fly.”
“Love, passion, why do we get caught up by such troublesome feelings? The mind couldn't ever get things straight, and you lose control to know what is sensible. Deep down it's all so vexing.”
“People can't live without their memories. But hey can't live on their memories alone either. They have to wake up from their dreams. Those dreams will become sadness if they don't. Even if you wake up from your dream, your memories will still be there. So please smile. I want our memories to be happy to the very end. I wish everyone would keep smiling so that everyone could be happy and everybody could be warmer.”
“People... humans are the being who look for happiness. What the Britannian boy, Lelouch, wanted to have was nothing but a small happiness. It's nothing special. At least at the root of his motives, there were only humble wishes that were simply natural to any human. Who could ever disclaim such dreams and such vows? Who could ever have the right to do that? However, whoever you might be, without choice, you have to deal with others and with the world, and have yourself be regulated and set down. Therefore, in the face of the world's wills, your personal speculations are so ephemeral they can't help being overwhelmed. Sins and punishments, destiny and judgment. What stands in front of Lelouch is the past he brought forth by himself. Is it a hatred resulting from the fact that humans are humans? Nonetheless, for now, we should be grateful... Yes, at least, to the fact that humans are the beings who look for happiness. A remaining piece of hope, a faint sign of wishes will be born from despairs.”
“We've got no light of hope in our future! Nothing is going to happen! Our lives will be as dull as rocks! Maybe it's a life of boring happiness! But I don't want to be an adult who pretends to be satisfied with it!”
“It's better to be hurt than to hurt others. Nice people can be happy with just that.”
“I never knew that spending an entire day doing nothing could be so terrifying. A plague of what-ifs assaults me, spinning and whirling, even though thinking about them makes no difference.”
“There is only one person who you can each truly love. It’s too bad that you can’t change who that person is. If you could, the you both would be a lot happier.”
“Humans must think about living on. And, must also understand death. Most important, we must learn to understand the truth.”
“Instead of regretting what we cannot do, it is better to do what one can. Even for example, what you do has nothing to do with results, you must forge forward.”
“The depths of despair…. I feel so calm here. I won’t be tricked by anyone anymore, and I don’t have to resent anyone. There’s nothing here. Not even loving. Nothing but to keep dancing until I die away.”
“Although Punpun didn’t really want to think about what the point of having dreams that could never come true was… To have dreams and worries that you could talk frankly about… In a way, that was probably a more fulfilling lifestyle than his own, Punpun admitted. Being cool was merely a paper-thin difference away from being empty.”
