Your sympathy is nothing but a liability.
- Aerial
With your words and actions... I want you to prove that there are humans we can trust.
- Aerial (on Alphonse)
Alphonse Loeher
I appreciate your offer, but... my destiny lies elsewhere. I may not know exactly what my future holds, but I intend to find out.
- Alphonse
I need to discover what I can accomplish on my own, without the help of my family, my status, or you.
- Alphonse
I don't know what to do... but I had to speak truthfully.
- Alphonse
Do you think you can change her mind with violence?
- Alphonse
I can't just sit here and do nothing.
- Alphonse
It must have been very difficult for Eleanor to come here. She has only bad memories of this place, memories best forgotten...
- Alphonse
I fear no one who crosses my path.
- Alphonse
Power is not a toy!
- Alphonse
Comparing ourselves to others is the only way to measure our existence.
- Alphonse
Please let your conscience be your guide...
- Alphonse
Humans try to choose the right path, but they continue to make mistakes. Despite their failings, God forgives them.
- Alphonse
If God forgives you, then the standard for righteousness will be meaningless. God rules this world according to his laws. Order exists at the expense of sympathy. You will not be pardoned.
- Alphonse (referring to fallen angels)
For servants of darkness, death means disappearance, banishment to where God's love doesn't reach. There's no possibility of salvation.
- Alphonse (referring to fallen angels)
Chloeri
Your time on this earth is limited. For that reason, you can easily forget mistakes of the past. Forgetting permits hope to return and strength to be rebuilt.
- Chloeri
Everyone has their own perspective. I won't blame the people of this generation for sorrows of the past.
- Chloeri
They think everything in this world is theirs for the taking. Why?! Why does God allow such creatures to exist on this earth?
- Chloeri (referring to humans)
Cressida
It’s long forgotten for the victor, but we still endure the painful memories... Words can’t describe it.
- Cressida
Knowing your ancestors’ merciless deeds, don’t you feel any remorse? And to repeat the same mistakes again?
- Cressida
Never forget... You can fool yourself with your rationalizations, but eventually you’ll suffer the consequences.
- Cressida
Cybil Alinda
Then don't dwell on the past. Acknowledge your present situation and choose the best course of action.
- Cybil
Fool. Do you live only for revenge?
- Cybil (on Sitri)
Plotting? You make my work sound so ugly. My mission is to do the Lord's will.
- Cybil
Listen, you can't have freedom without bearing the responsibility. People have the right to choose their actions freely, but they are responsible for the results of those actions.
- Cybil
You declined his offer. There's a possibility that he'll become your enemy, but you have to face reality and accept that fact.
- Cybil
We can't relieve the past, but we can start anew. Time waits for no man. The past has led you to the present, but you build your own future with choices today. Throughout your life, you will face many difficult decisions. There's no right or wrong... just paths that lead to different futures.
- Cybil
Regardless of what I hoped for, I had to make choices from the options available to me in my environment. I am here right now as a result of those choices.
- Cybil
Your birth, your status... these things are part of your environment, they're what you've been given. People strive for the things they want and give up on the things they don't want. Choosing not to decide is still a choice.
- Cybil
Don't let your emotions sway you. They drain your energy and blur your judgment. Be calm and make an objective decision. What is it that you want to do in this world? Once you've decided on your direction in life, find a way to work towards that goal.
- Cybil
It only takes a small spark to start a flame...
- Cybil
Angels must obey God's orders. To do otherwise is considered a sin. The punishment received for such an offence is to fall from heaven. ...The descent to earth... means the loss of both power and beauty. It must be the most shameful punishment the residents of heaven can receive.
- Cybil
A fallen angel is an enemy of God... His love is unconditional. You shouldn't have doubted him.
- Cybil (on Shaher)
Dionyde
Material belongings can sometimes fill a hole in your heart... but there's no treasure more valuable than my words.
- Dionyde
Eleanor Olato
You can't always run away from difficult situations.
- Eleanor
You don't have to understand everything all at once... Just little by little...
- Eleanor
You know, my time with you has been the happiest of my life. That's why I hoped we'd share views like this together, always.
- Eleanor (on Alphonse)
If something is forgotten, is it like it never existed?
- Eleanor
Elrik
...I've given that up, and I'm happy with my life the way it is now. I don't want to sacrifice my happiness by reawakening old ways.
- Elrik
Greed is a road to ruin. You'll regret you childishness!
- Elrik
Arrogance is a road to ruin. You'll regret your naivety...
- Elrik
Euphaire
You should not have violated nature's law.
- Euphaire
Fortune Teller
Everyone seeks hints about their future, even if those hints influence their path.
- Fortune Teller
Grimal
Luck’s been on your side so far, but that ends here!
- Grimal
Head Fisherman
We have rules for our safety, but you outsiders think you can solve everything with your money and your logic.
- Head Fisherman
Kheil
Treasure means more if it's won. Try and win it!
- Kheil
Khodar
Once my sword has been drawn, it shall not be sheathed. Let's fight!!!
- Khodar
Ivanna Batraal
Rumors spread quickly.
- Ivanna
...Fighting is not the only way. One strategy is to persuade enemies to join your troops. But, don’t assume everyone will be persuaded.
- Ivanna
My sword instructor used to tell me that destructive power can never win against protective power.
- Ivanna
I won't let my fear take control...
- Ivanna
You will persist in following the path of sin. Because you are not human, you don't have the bravery to admit your mistakes.
- Ivanna (on Shaher)
Judecca
Who decided that this was a sin?... God himself.
- Judecca
Lethe
A useless soldier's not worth keeping around...
- Lethe
Lobelia
He's just a sinner who disobeyed God. I'll be his judge with my sword of light!!!
- Lobelia (referring to Shaher)
God commanded us to love his children.
- Lobelia
You are an enemy of both humans and God. I can't ignore your existence. Are you ready, fallen one? I'll defeat you in the name of God!
- Lobelia (on Shaher)
Don't lose your faith. As long as people rely on God, he won't abandon them. However, the sad reality is that humans falter. Confusion and doubt... those emotions allow evil to take control.
- Lobelia
There will come a time when you must rely on the help of others. Humans are not invincible. Don't think that you can shoulder all of the responsibility alone.
- Lobelia
Margret
...A warrior must always know for what purpose he fights.
- Margret
Even if I die, the spirit of my sword will live on.
- Margret
Mermaid Soldier
We recognize the futility of war.
- Mermaid Soldier
Mullin
How rude to ask questions without first introducing yourself!
- Mullin
Naris Batraal
An enemy is still an enemy, no matter who it is.
- Naris
Power is everything in this world. Negotiation, treaties... Those are the tools of the powerless.
- Naris
Compassion alone is not enough, especially when you're a leader.
- Naris
This is an irrational world we live in... The strong exploit the weak, the wealthy exploit the poor. Most of them will never know what it is like to be in the others' shoes.
- Naris
Narration
Lord God! Please tell me... Why do you love humans? ...Because they were made in your image...!?
- Narration
My heart is thirsty, but its thirst shall never be quenched.
- Narration
Orson Lamies
Even though your decisions may conflict with the beliefs of your friends, don't let that stop you from forging your own destiny. Never yield in the face of opposition. Thus is the path of determining your own future.
- Orson
Rictor Lasanti
Then, why don't you pursue your goals openly? God sees all, including your dubious ways...
- Rictor
I can't stand people who try to manipulate history from the shadows.
- Rictor
Unclean words will stain your heart.
- Rictor
I will build a beautiful, orderly nation that reflects the strict teachings of God.
- Rictor
Saia
Battle is everything to me, and victory is my greatest satisfaction.
- Saia
Shaher
MOST MEN DIE WITHOUT SEEING THEIR DREAMS REALIZED.
- Shaher
...IS THERE A REASON TO DENY YOUR FATE?
- Shaher
IT IS SAD, REALLY... HUMANS SO RARELY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER'S FEELINGS.
- Shaher
Son of man, do you not think there is something wrong with this world? Should not everyone be equal in God's eyes? Why do some people have power, while others have nothing?
- Shaher
Human hearts are so easily swayed by emotion.
- Shaher
You have found justice, and justice is power.
- Shaher
How can God love these worthless creatures who offer nothing in return?
- Shaher (referring to humans)
It is impossible for humans to understand God. Like birds in a cage who know nothing of the outside world, God's creations will never comprehend him.
- Shaher
Shiven Verde
The pain in my heart is proof that I'm alive.
- Shiven
Sitri
You're responsible for the death of my family! Since then, I've lived with nothing but vengeance to sustain me.
- Sitri (on Cybil)
