"I don't give a rat's ass whether it's science or magical power. No, I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather put my money on the power of science. Humans who used to only roam around on the ground are able to fly now! And finally, we're about to go into outer space. Science is a "Power" created and developed by humans. And science just might be what saves this planet. I was able to earn my living thanks to science. So to me, there's nothing greater!"

"I know how tough it is bein' a leader, because I've been one. I always forget who has what materia."

"Hey, do you know who I am? I'm Cid—that's who the hell I am! Now just let me handle it!"

"I want you to know that I didn't dislike him. Gotta admit he was a strange dude. Just when you thought he was cool, he'd go and do some damn fool thing. And when you thought he was smart, he'd show how stupid he was. Everything about him from his movements to his speech were kinda odd."

"It's really something, having a smoke at a place like this."

"Costa del Sol woman: Ho! Ho! Ho!...... It's the end of the world."

"Tanning woman: I don't care if it's the end of the world, I just want to sit here and drink cocktails. Ooooh...... I think I drank too much."

"Corel Station attendant: The Gold Saucer reopened. Why don't you go play hard and clear your heads as well as your pockets?"

"Elder Bugan: Live with the planet, die with the planet. Maybe this is the way it should be. Who knows? I'm full of booze..."

"Costa del Sol woman: I wan' learn how speak beddah. But don' wan' have stars fall down. You think... same?"

"Woman: The sea breeze, sun, and Meteor. Isn't nature strange?"

"Woman: They're burning. Someday they'll burn out. The stars are just like our youth."

"Junon soldier: How 'bout, whoever stays alive, gets to take her out?"

"Junon soldier: All the real soldiers were killed fighting Weapon. It may seem ironic that losers like me are still alive. But that's the reality of it."

"Junon soldier: I'm learning to be a delinquent soldier!! I just can't seem to get the hang of it!"

"Corel villager: I figure if I stay alive long enough, something good's bound to happen."

"Doctor in Mideel: You can see for yourself what things look like, but at least no one was seriously hurt. We're just very unhappy now."

"Mideel villager: Everything must come to an end. And someday it's gonna be your turn. Even the world's gotta end sometime. Everybody leaves at one time or another. And everyone gets left also. That's just fate... It's sad, but there's nothing that can be done about it."

"Man in Mideel: ......guess its been about a week now since he washed up here on the shore... Poor pokey-headed young thing..."

"Don Corneo: If I push this button, they'll fall upside down, and we'll have a SQUASHED TOMATOES! [sic]"

"Godo: Go! Survive till the end! And return! With the Materia!"

"Godo: Strength without determination means nothing... determination without strength is equally useless...!"

"Dyne: All they give us are artillery and stupid excuses... what's left is a world of despair and emptiness..."

"Dyne: I hear her voice.. Eleanor's voice... begging me... not to hate your rotten guts."

"Gold Saucer Battle Arena option: Off course!"

"Gold Saucer Battle Arena slogan: The Brave Do Not Fear the Grave."

"Zack: Oh here. Put on this. It smells a little though; don't complain. (the sound of slapping is heard) You look pretty good with that. Well..."

"Zangan: Hey, it's you! You're still sane, right?"

"Scotch: Come over here sexy...we'll take good care of you!"

"Honey Inn patron: True beauty is an expression of the heart. A thing without shame, to which notions of gender do not apply."

"Train Man in Sector 7: When you've been a train man as long as I have, you see a lot of people and a lot of lives. People meeting, parting, joy, sadness... After a while, it doesn't even get to you anymore. I wonder how long it's been... There's an invisible rail between me and the passengers. I could never live their lives. I'm just a train man plain and simple. It's easier that way. That's not to say that the crossing gate of my heart doesn't hurt now and again. Back during the war, I remember there was a lot of painful scenes then. But, that's a story for another day."

"Jenova: Beacause [sic] Cloud...You are a puppet."

"Choco Billy: Your chocobo stable are empty."

"It's all Greek to me!"

"What you see will eventually become part of life's dream."

"Look always to the eternal flow of time which is far greater than the span of a human life."

"What to do? Have you lost your way? When that happens we each have to take a good long look at our selves. There's always something in the deepest reaches of our hearts. Something buried, or something forgotten. Remember it... Whatever that is, must certainly be what you are all looking for..."

"Cloud says they are trying to save the planet. Honestly, I don't think it can be done. For even if they stop every reactor on the planet, it's only going to postpone the inevitable. Even if they stop Sephiroth, everything will perish. But, Nanaki. I've been thinking lately. I've been thinking if there was anything WE could do, as a part of the planet, something to help a planet already in misery... No matter what happens, isn't it important to try? Am I just wishing against fate?"

"I hear the cries of the planet. As if to say... "I hurt, I suffer". When it's time for the planet to die, you'll understand that you know absolutely nothing."

"...Cloud...You remembered...my name..."

"An' Cloud... Sorry, I wasn't any help."

"Barret's up top...help him..."

"Hmph...you haven't changed. Oh, forget it."

"Say, do you think Cloud's going to fight to the end for AVALANCHE?"

"That should keep the planet going...at least a little longer."

"...Cloud...I'm glad...I could talk with you...one last time."

"Each town used to have a name, but no one in Midgar remembers them. Instead of names, we refer to them by numbered sectors. That's the kind of place this is."
