"Hear me Basch. Do not think killing the kingslayer will win you back your honor. When you abandoned home and kin, your name was forever stained with blood."

"(to Basch) Hah! Defend? You? You who failed Landis and Dalmasca? What can shame hope to keep safe? Your shield is shattered! Your oaths poison those you would protect!"

"Yet without power, what future can you claim? What good a kingdom you cannot defend?"

"You claim no need of power? What of your broken kingdom's shame? The dead demand justice!"

"No, we cannot escape the past. This man is living proof. What is your past, daughter of Dalmasca? Did you not swear revenge? Do the dead not demand it?"

"I slew your king. I slew your country. Do these deeds not demand vengeance? (Ashe raises the Treaty-Blade) Yes. Good! Find your wrath! Take up your sword! Fight, and serve those that died before you!"

"Why do you hesitate? Take what is yours. The Cryst was a blade, it was meant for you. Wield it! Avenge your father! Yes, it was I who wore Basch's face--who cut down the life of Dalmasca. Lady Ashe! Your father's murderer is here!"

"The past can bind a man as surely as irons."

"A Judge Magister there was… Two years past, he took the Midlight Shard and used it not knowing what he did…and Nabudis was blown away. Cid ordered this of him to learn the Nethicite's true power. That man swore never to let such terrible power be used again. He forsook his Judicer's plate, and his name."

"The Illusions of the past. You think to have cast them off, only to find them years later, unwearying, unrelenting. The past can bind a man as surely as irons."

"My lady. Your words still sound of doubt. Pray you reach your answer, ere we the Sun-cryst."

"When he helped you off the Leviathan, he spited the Judges full sore. He cannot sit in idleness and expect to avoid a reckoning."

"A city of men without countries. Pirates of the sea and of the sky. Few are they who would fain lay down their lives for a friend, let alone a king."

"Then it's settled. We should leave before the Marquis realizes she's missing. Like proper kidnappers."

"That's what sky pirates do, they fly do they not?"

"You've let your eyes betray your heart..."

"The Viera may begin as part of the Wood, but it is not the only end that we may choose. (to Jote)"

"I have discarded Wood and village. I won my freedom. Yet my past had been cut away forever. No longer can my ears hear the Green Word. This…solitude, you want, Mjrn?"

"The gods are toying with us."

"[During Quickening Level 3: Shatterheart] It ends now. (charges ice and throws it at the enemy, blow ice from her hand) Crumble! (as ice shatters)"

"I am unwelcome. An unsought guest in their wood."

"In the village you will find her: Mjrn. Bring her to me. She will know why you call her."

"You are ill at ease. The nethicite troubles you?"

"We? No, I."

"I hear the cry of a terrible power..."

"In vain glory they arose, shouting challenges at the gods. But prevail they did not, their doom it was to walk the mist until time's end. A legend of the Nu Mou. -Regarding Espers"

"(Referring to the late King Raminas) Even now, he remains among you, protecting you. His ardor for the peace and weal of Dalmasca falters not!"

"[Using Mach Wave] What am I to do with those who would oppose me...but show them death?"

"Your lives are forfeit, and your insurgence with them. Dalmasca will again know order."

"Our dear Cid slain by his own son? Tis a common tale of late."

"The once-great House Solidor is now reduced to myself, and my dear brother Larsa."

"Is it with hatred you look upon your Consul? With hatred you look upon the Empire?"

"My hands are stained with blood. I see little reason to stay them now."

"Archadia's Emperor is freely chosen by Her people. I am but an elected official and nothing more."

"(to Judge Gabranth) Then come! Wield your hatred and crush me. I welcome it!"

"We are the arbiters of our destiny."

"I had someone more important to defend. And defend her I have."

"I want you to take me to Balthier. Even caged birds need wings."

"Let them watch. I know something of cages."

"The time has come to tell you the truth of it."

"I could not protect my home. What is shame to me?"

"If I could protect but one person from war's horror, then I would bear any shame. I would bear it proudly."

"...Driver! Faster, if you please. I would be loath to expend any of the violence of my present mood on my companions."

"[During Quickening Level 3: Element of Treachery] Here she comes! (when the meteor approaches)"

"[During Quickening Level 2: Tides of Fate] Let me show you how it's done! [as the tidal wave is about to wash over enemies] "Heads up!" or "Ha!""

"[During Quickening Level 1: Fires of War] I never miss! or Please...on your guard!"

"Remember what curiosity killed. Just a friendly word of advice."

"It's not easy being this popular, you know."

"Incidentally, what is the going rate for rescuing Princesses these days? Food would be a good start -- the good stuff, mind you."
