"Daredevil (thinking): No! I should have known he'd try that! He can't stand being handicapped! He's got to prove to himself that he can cope! But he's swinging in too low an arc!"

"Spider-Man: I wont take anymore! I'I'd rather be dead than..."

"Spider-Man: I'm no good to anyone--now--not to myself...not to anyone! I'm a joke! A sick, pitiful--pathetic--joke..."

"Daredevil (thinking): I should have expected this! He's starting tocome apart-- lashing out at me as his guts tear him inside-out! I could dodge his blows until he exhausts himself! -- But that's not going to bring him to grips with his blindness!"

"Alphinaud! I'm about to do a great many stupid and reckless things. Watch my back, would you?"

"Is aught amiss?"

"Pray, return to the Waking Sands."

"Long, after I am gone, though not even my soul remaineth... My love will be with you forever, my dearest children."

"We are family in all but name, my lord. Though we share no blood, we have stood by each other through life's many challenges, resolved to prevail together─or not at all."

"The... the Scions of the Seventh Dawn labor for Eorzea's salvation. Whenever the realm is threatened, be it by primal, Ascian, Garlean or any other, we take up arms in her defense, that all in Eorzea may live to see a brighter tomorrow."

"Well, this is it. The end of the path, and the beginning of whatever awaits. There will be greater hardships. We may be made to feel powerless. Yet come what may, let us have no regrets. No, let us have pride in what we have achieved. In what we achieved, and how it changed us for the better... That's worth fighting for. And dying for. As they did..."

"How can you even entertain such thoughts!? You owe your life to the Warrior of Light, and you don't get to die unless he/she says so."

"So, this is it. Whatever I choose to do from now on, I do as Lyse. ...And I choose to continue my family's fight. I want Ala Mhigo to be the country that Yda and my father always wanted it to be!"

"Well met, friend. My name is Minfilia, and I lead the Scions of the Seventh Dawn."

"It is precisely when things appear to be proceeding according to plan that we must needs steel ourselves for impending danger."

"Lady Lilira, for all our sakes, please... stay out of harm's way. As for you, my friend... for Lilira's sake, please stay in harm's way!"

"Yet remember this: however glorious the past, it is the hero's lot to be judged on the deeds of the present."

"Go forth, my child, and be as a beacon of hope for Eorzea and the lands beyond, through all the days of thy life."

"Lands that stretch on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong. And amidst it all, a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before. They are my meaning and my purpose. My love. In spite of...or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe. In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward. So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us. No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk."

"Darkness and Light. Despair and hope. As goeth one, so goeth the other. Become Light. Become hope."

"...This is another one of those moments where it really doesn't matter what I have to say, isn't it?"

"Take a shower, stinky."

"I must trust in myself to do what is right. As others have chosen to trust in me. So I will continue as I always have, weighing the consequences of my every action, and allowing my hope for the future to inform my decisions."

"And yet...no matter how many worlds have met their ends, with you and Alisaie beside me, there is nothing I fear. No ocean so vast I cannot cross."

"Though no weapons are drawn, a negotiation is no less a battle, and the stakes can be every bit as high. One misplaced word and people could die. It takes someone with a cool head, and I'll be the first to admit that's not me."

"Our worlds may not live up to your lofty standards... But they are our worlds! Our homes! Full of life and love and hope! And we won't stand by and let you destroy them!"

"I could do with a little rampage myself."

"Speeches? Oh, yes, I love them. There's nothing like a good exposition when you're having trouble sleeping!"

"It looks like centuries of fear and mistrust really can't be washed away in a day. But someone has to make an effort at reconciliation if these conflicts are ever going to end."

"Give Tataru a hug from me, all right?"

"The path we now embark upon is perilous, but I pray you will walk with us to the end. For those we have lost. For those we can yet save."

"I have borne witness to many such miracles at your side, and would do so again. This is but another obstacle in the road. So come, let us travel it. Drag me though wonder and danger, as you are wont to do, and I shall endeavor not to slow you down."

"In darkness seek joy. Surrender not to sadness, and see beyond despair. Walk free, and bear the light for others to follow."

"There exist myriad barriers that divide us—those of race and nation, language and creed, to name but a few. Such barriers serve to isolate us from our neighbors...yet they also serve to define who we are. Shorn of them, there would be little to distinguish one from another, and the rich variety of our lives would give way to sterile orthodoxy. These barriers can never truly be broken down, of course—not so long as there is liberty in the world—but they can be transcended!"

"Take the flower. Walk free. For you are free─to go where you wish. To believe what you will."

"If ever you should falter, remember this: no one, however powerful, is immune to the whisperings of doubt and despair. Do not give in to them, but do not deny them either. Look instead to the light within, that you may continue to serve as a beacon to others."

"Hear... Feel... Think."

"Crystal bearer... I am Hydaelyn. All made one."

"Yet rather than attain a sense of mastery, the more I understood, the more I came to hold the world and its miracles in awe. We too are miracles, each and every one of us. Born of the warm breath of life that traverses the heavens, swirling through eternity."

"You, who are our future... Tell me this and tell me true. Has your journey been good? Has it been worthwhile?"

"All is excruciating pain. I breathe fire and torment. I birth a world of suffering, to mire and plague. In one fleeting moment, lives come and go, ever moving towards the unknown. And in that fleeting moment, they cry for the answer to the question: Why, given life, are they meant to suffer. To die... As fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest. A quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured. To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you. To find joy, even as darkness descends... And amidst deepest despair, light everlasting."

"Alas, the question I posed to thee in Elpis hath remained unanswered these long years. I would hear thy response, Warrior of Light, shouldst thou emerge victorious."

"Yes, no cat must go uncuddled!"

"It's fiiine. Just work your magic! Magicks. Whichever."

"You name it, I've been punched by it."

"It requires equal levels of passion and patience."

"We define our worth, not the circumstances of our creation!"

"If this journey has taught me anything, it is the importance─and difficulty─of holding to one's convictions in the face of failure...of striving always to replace one's ignorance with knowledge."

"Ours is not a kind world, but it is beautiful. Always."

"May you walk in the light of the Crystal."
