"Don't be so simplistic. Humans are frail. They are like children. They need protection. Not just from others, but from themselves! ... Listen! If you can't see the chaos the humans will cause, if you don't want the responsibility of protecting them, then stand aside. I will rule alone."

"I remember... I remember my mother... her name was Eva. She gave this to me. I had a brother too? We were a family. I had no idea of the danger we were in. The demons found us. When they broke in, I saw him. She gave her life so that we could escape. I will never forget what he did to her. Our father, Sparda took my brother and I away. He separated us, hid us safely amongst the humans, wiped our memories to protect us. That's why it all went black... until now."

"The demons have been increasing their power for a millenia. They are on the verge on controlling mankind. Citizens, we have been kept sleeping in a manufactured illusion for too long! We must wake up!"

"Mankind? What would mankind do with freedom do you suppose? Because when I arrived, they had it. And what do you think they did with it? They fought. They killed. They starved. I brought prosperity. I brought structure. What have you brought? Besides violence. War. Death!"

"When the people you are supposed to trust most... ...turn out to be demon scum... Your eyes really do open up the evil everywhere. I took a stand. Fought back, killed... No matter the consequences. So I chose my path, and I lived by it... ...And then after all that anger, violence, and death, you have to dig deep... ...deep into your own heart... to see if you are still sane. Or if you can still call yourself... ...human... I just knew in my heart I wasn't crazy."

"Aaagh, you disgusting fuck child! I'm going to pull off your head, piss down your neck and shit on your worthless carcass!"

"I'm sure your dad would be proud."

"Marcus doesn't live here anymore..."

"Look around, Sweet Tooth. You've been given your prize."

"I don't blame myself. They were my first murders."

"You can't hide from me, little girl... you can't hide from daddy."

"Your wish is granted."

"Why, Miss Sparks, you were right. You do shine!"

"Take me to her NOW!"

"Shut up and BLEED, you motherfu--"

"Well, maybe it WAS my fault. But I had my own problems to worry about. The old man's curse was beginning to PISS me off."

"But then one day, he showed up. Calypso, he called himself. It was a stupid name. I wanted to kill him there and then, but he made me an offer."

"Your wife, she didn't die easy. You should know, she begged for you as I killed her."

"I had to decide. It took me all of ten seconds. Let's face it, boys and girls; A man has to have his priorities."

"I never did used to believe in curses, but it's been three months since that night, and the pain gets worse every day. So let me tell you something, boys and girls; I sure as hell believe in curses now."

"I killed Calypso about as well as I ever killed anyone."

"Three months in the nuthouse. It was the longest I'd ever been confined. So a few people have been killed. Wasn't MY fault."

"When they captured me, the only thing I could think was: What a waste. All those people I hadn't killed yet."

"All my greatest achievements flashed before my eyes. The scale of what I'd done, the sheer volume of people I killed...It was breathtaking. But like all good things, it had to end sometime."

"Come the night of my execution, there must have been over a thousand people gathered outside to watch me fry. I was upset about that. There should have been more."

"As much as I had those old urges of mine, I kept them to myself for the moment. I figured I'd play along with his little game. After all, I could always kill him later."

"As I fried, he started screaming out like the freak he was. He asked God to curse me, to burn forever with the flames of Hell."

"It took me less than a minute to kill three police officers...and get my mask back on."

"The contest was over, so I went and saw Calypso. I asked him to make good on his promise. To bring an end to all the pain. To take away my curse."

"He offered me a vial. He said inside it held the blood of the man who cursed me on the night of my execution. He told me if I drank it, my curse would be over. But he also said if I ever returned to my killing ways, the antidote will wear off and the curse would come back to haunt me."

"He said he ran some kind of crazy contest. If I won his game, he promised to show me how to bring an end to the curse. No more...headaches."

"I was out like the dying heartbeat of a little girl. It was the first time in...forever I hadn't felt the burning...and the dreams...! Boys and girls...those were some wonderful dreams."

"I remember there was this preacher in the observation room. I figured he was just some bible-thumper wanting to save my soul, but as it turned out, the old man had something else in mind."

"Now that I'm free, I'm going to be the greatest of all time!"

"Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard."

"Sonic the Hedgehog may share its name with the Genesis original, but this game is even more broken than most of the other recent Sonic games have been. [...] Only the most blindly reverent Sonic the Hedgehog fan could possibly squeeze any enjoyment out of Sega's latest adventure. This platformer is a mess from top to bottom, and any of the occasional moments that don't feel somehow broken only serve to make the game's other flaws appear that much bigger."

"Nice smile."

"The 2006 Sonic game was meant to be something of a soft reboot for the franchise, telling an entirely new story, albeit with the same characters, in a new location. The story is vast, expanding the universe, introducing plenty of brand-new characters, telling the tale of a race to stop a dark god from consuming time itself; unfortunately, that doesn't save it from being an underwhelming installment in the franchise. After all, half of the plot is about saving a princess from Dr. Eggman over and over again, and the other half is a poorly paced mess of confusing timelines and underwritten characters."

"I'm Sonic... Sonic The Hedgehog!"

"Cool! It's raining fire!"

"(Take too long in finishing a stage or get a 'D' rank) Man! Today's not my day!"

"WHHHHHHOOOOOOOAAAAA! (Falling into an abyss)"
