""Behold the light that spreads before your eyes. This light once symbolized civilization – the very will of the human race. But what can be gleaned from the light we see today? The people of this world have cast away their will to create, drowning themselves instead in an endless cycle of consumption… What you see now is the deceitful light cast by their stagnant eyes. The people you've encountered in your lifetime are not people at all. They're less than human – mere sacks of flesh and bone. Only upon the realization of self-will, can a person truly be called a man… You chose to reject the false light, refused to succumb to their lies… That's why you never faltered, even after all the personality reconditioning. Long ago, man was forced to leave behind his homeland… This was brought about by the masses who extinguished the very light that drove their will. So how about it, Cherenkov? Let us rekindle the torch so that human consciousness may once again be resurrected… For our sake…and that of our god…"—Margulis"

""Failure to comply will result in the destruction of this window."—KOS-MOS"

""One more strike and this window will shatter. It appears that none of you are wearing space suits. Keep in mind that I am making this proposal out of good will. I could just as easily toss you all out and take over the ship."-KOS-MOS to the crew of the Elsa, after cracking one of their forward windows with a punch."

""Hey look! It's a girl!... She might be cute y'know. He he."- Hammer"'He he' my ass ya sicko! Who the hell cares how she looks- she's DEAD!"- Captain Matthews, on seeing KOS-MOS drifting through space."

""Shelley, give 'em a little nudge!"—Jr."

""At that time, Lt. Virgil was in my direct line of fire."—KOS-MOS Context: KOS-MOS has just shot Lieutenant Virgil, who had helped them fight their way to the escape pods."

""Entertain me if you will!"—Albedo"

""What you lack is reality, and that is what I shall provide you with!"—Albedo, as he tears off his own arm."

""Don't tremble ma pêche, or else you will make me feel like a péché myself"—Albedo"

""Boo!"—Albedo, after instantly growing a new arm."

""Frailty, thy name is woman. No, that's not right. You little Realians weren't even born from a woman's womb."—Albedo."

""Such beauty they hold, these tears of sorrow. But are you worthy to shed such tears? The act of mourning the dead belongs to the realm of humans. The human race, fearful in its weakness, built this world in a futile attempt to elude the abyss they call mortality. Culture…civilization…all delusions created by a powerless race, and of little use, like a barren woman. But amidst all this, you continue to exist as an unfettered soul, free from the shackles of flesh and blood… A completely pure consciousness… An eternal spiral, undefiled by impurities… a fusion of fire, breath, and spirit… What can we call you…but angels? New, unadulterated psyches… But what you lack is reality. And that is what I shall provide you with…!"-Albedo"

""Do you know what he said while he coughed up his lifeblood? "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone." Wheat, eh? There's enough of it, we can afford to waste as much as we want. Like my head, you see?"-Albedo, referring to a saying made by Jesus (John 12:24)."

""Daddy...it was always you he looked at. The rest...of us. We all...wished we could be...you." - Kirschwasser"

""Why do you hurt people? My sisters...they all loved something they saw in you. And even after all that you put them through, they still believed in you...how...how could you desecrate their feelings?! Their hearts!" -MOMO"Desecrate? Your sisters? Look around you! Who's the flower that blooms from those corpses? That's right, it's you peche. Everything's just as Mizrahi, your dear daddy, wanted them to be!" Albedo"Daddy?" MOMO"That's right. Isn't it Rubedo?" Albedo"

""MOMO! Hurry and get in!" Shion, when the ship headed to the Durandal is about to leave, MOMO stays behind to tend to the injured."

""What's one-and-a-half billion people to us?"—Margulis, after the destruction of Ariadne."

""It's inevitable. There will always be vermin. I'll leave their extermination to you."—Margulis"

""Me, tried in a court of ignoble commoners? Don't make me laugh!"—Margulis, on being tried for crimes against humanity."

""Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Now die!"—Albedo."

""We are the ones who determine life or death!"—Margulis"

""Thanks, I'll pass. I don't share your perverse taste in hobbies."—Margulis, when asked by Albedo whether he would come himself to use the Song of Nephilim."

""Free from the bonds of flesh. A pure consciousness has no true form. All that exists is the longing for reality"-Albedo"

""Mirror mirror on the wall, show me, define me"-Young Albedo, as witnessed in a flashback by Jr. while in the Enchephalon"

""Shion... I like it here. I'm the only living thing that exists in this place, there's nothing else. No anger, no sadness, no happiness, not even a future... The only thing that's here... is me. And that will eventually fade away. It feels good. This is exactly what I've been searching for all this time. Shion... you'll eventually find yourself here too... I'm sure of it... it won't be much longer. . I know, I can tell."-Cherenkov"

""I am the infinite telomerase! I am not an anti-existence! I am the perfect chain!"-Young Albedo"

""Shion... will feeling pain... make me... complete?"-KOS-MOS"

""I can't believe I just handed over top-secret company info to the Federation without permission... I am SO fired..."-Shion"

""Don't be so surprised; this is the power of will, a fundamental power that exists within everyone. What you are witnessing is simply your perception of it. And you know what? Perception and pain are but one and the same. So... go ahead... Feel my pain for yourself!"-Albedo"

""I'm a cyborg, I registered as an organ donor without giving it much thought." - Ziggy"

""Why not help her? Sounds like she means it." - chaos"

""I believe everyone has at least one skill that they excel in over all others. Its something that defines who they are. Shion. What is it that defines you?" - chaos, when asked how he was able to defeat the Gnosis with just his hands"

"Canaan: "I appreciate the offer, but you may want to reconsider. A regular human can't ride in that thing."chaos: "Right. That's why I'm here. Don't worry.""

"chaos: "The red horse carries war, and the black horse, famine. Upon those tiny backs, bear their great calamity."Canaan: "What did you say, chaos? I didn't read that."chaos: "It's nothing. Let's go rescue them.""

""Death is rest for the soul. Who was it who said that? If the body did not die, and the fears borne in the mind just continued to pile up, the world would be nothing more than an eternal prison."—Ziggy"

""The country of the hills of Mud, the land of Mu, was sacrificed. Being twice upheaved, it suddenly disappeared in one night. At last the surface gave way… and they sank, along with their countries."—chaos"

""You've always been two-faced you know, offering life in one hand and delivering death in the other."—Albedo, to Nigredo"

""Oh, so now it's peace talks, eh? Didn't McCartney say that, too? 'Ebony and ivory lived together in perfect harmony.' "—Albedo, to Nigredo"

""U.R.T.V. A failed product of a twisted age. A lower lifeform such as you could never understand our ideals!"—the Patriarch"

""Hey, Rubedo. Don't forget to breathe deep and inhale the particles that composed me."—Albedo"

""The Zohar does not exist for your sake."—Red Testament, to the Patriarch"

""VOOOYAAAGGEER!!."—w:Ziggy (Xenosaga), to the Black Testament"

""We'd appreciate it if the supporting actors would just stick to their roles."—Blue Testament, speaking about the Patriarch"

""Exit the stage. Your act is over."—Blue Testament, to the Patriarch"

""No! I am all power…"—the Patriarch, before Testament kills him"

""I'm making graves for Rubedo and Nigredo. It's just for pretend, though. I'm practicing so that when they die, I won't cry. If I link with U-DO again, I wonder if he'll kill me… I hope he will. He is our leader, after all." Jr.: "I… I wouldn't do anything like that!" Albedo: "Of course you would! That's how you're built. Because we're the anti-existence of U-DO. Do you know what the link is like? It's as sweet and seductive as a deal with the devil."—Albedo"

""I don't like you! You're bothering Rubedo, the way you try and flirt with him! Say something, you mannequin!" Young Albedo"

"Jr.:"What are you doing? Stop it!""

""I hate you! I hate you!" Albedo, hitting an unconscious Sakura on the ground."

"Jr.: "I said stop it!""
