(TITLE WAS MEANT TO BE BEST ANIME QUOTES**** SORRY)

Hai Basil. This thread will be about the best anime quotes. Feel free to post any specific quotes here, as well as the anime that it's from and the character who stated said quote. Have fun.

Here are mine:

"Mankind's history is war. Peace is an illusion. To turn illusion into reality is an arduous task. It requires discipline." -Scheizel el Britannia, Code Geass

"He considers our affairs trivial and mundane; that's how His Majesty referred to our mortal struggle with the Black Knights. You've seen it too Cornelia; how absorbed father is with his dangerous research. How he abandons the throne. It's true, he treats diplomacy and war like they were meaningless trifles, a man who has lost interest in this world, who sees his people locked in a life and death struggle, and shrugs in indifference. Such a man has no right to rule." -Schneizel el Britannia, Code Geass

"You are dead. You were always been dead to me, dead from the moment you were born. Who gave you the fine clothes you wear and comfortable home? The food you eat and your very life? All of those, I have given to you, in short you are not nothing to me because you have never existed. Yet you dare to speak such foolishness to me? Lelouch, you are dead, therefore you are not entitled to any rights. I am sending you and Nunnally to Japan, as prince and princess, you will serve well as bargaining tools." -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"All men ... are NOT created equal! Some are born swifter afoot, some with greater beauty, some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and upbringing, in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different; Yes that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition and the unfaltering march of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is. What of the E.U. which made equality a right? Rabble politics by a popularity contest. The Chinese Federation with its equal distribution of wealth? A nation of lazy dullards. But not our beloved Britannia, we fight, we compete, evolution is continuous. Britannia alone moves forward, advancing steadily into the future. Even the death of my son, Clovis, demonstrates Britannia's unswerving commitment to progress. We will fight on, we shall struggle, compete, plunder and dominate, and in the end, the future shall be ours. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!" -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"The world lies! Thou shalt not commit murder, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not cheat, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife. All of these are lies! Mere illusion, nothing more! They don't want to be killed, they don't want to be robbed. Using the twin lies of justice and morality, the weak endeavor to protect themselves. But the first truth is that the strong devour the weak, so let us feed upon people, upon wealth, upon riches and power! We of Britannia shall feast upon the raw flesh of the world itself! We must crush this deception and bring forth the truth! All Hail Britannia!" -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"War has historically been an action favoured by idiots." -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"Lelouch, I will now answer your previous question. Half a century ago, my elder brother and I existed in a Hell on Earth, our family were just rivals competing for the throne. Assassinations occurred with regularity, dealing with betrayal and spawned by lies. Killing each other off, my own mother fell victim to it. My brother and I were sick and angered by the world, we therefore both sworn an oath: to create a world without lies." -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"You're a fool, Lelouch. God cannot be defeated by the power of the King!" -Charles zi Britannia, Code Geass

"People of Japan and all who are oppressed by the empire of Britannia, long have I waited, all through the struggles against Britannia's injustices, I waited for them to come to their senses, but that hope was betrayed, by an act of barbarism that can only be called genocide. ... Euphemia is the symbol of Britannia's hypocrisy, a murderer cloaked in the flag of a nation. ... I hereby declare our independence from Britannia, but don't take this to mean the resurrection of your fallen nation, we will not turn back the hands of time! The new Japan we go on to build, shall be one broad enough to accept all peoples, histories, and ideologies. Where the strong shall not reign over the weak, and it shall be called The United States of Japan!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"Yes, I am Zero, the man who leads the Black Knights, who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire; The one who holds the entire world in his hand." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit. We are the Black Knights. We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield, regardless of whether they be Elevens, or Britannians. The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and then mercilessly executed them. It was a wanton and meaningless act, therefore they have been punished, just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We cannot standby and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors use their power to attack those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty, how formidable our foe may be. Those of you in power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgement of this world!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"I am Zero! People of Japan, I have returned! Hear me Britannia! All you who have power, heed my words carefully. I am burdened by sorrow. War and discrimination... Malicious deeds carried out by the strong... The same abhorrent interplay of tragedy and comedy... The world has not changed. The people still suffer. That is why the resurrection of Zero was necessary. So long as the strong oppress the weak, my rebellion will continue to grow. It begins today with the divine punishment I have wrought upon the inept and foolish Viceroy Calares. I shall fight against all those who abuse their power. Therefore once again, here and now, I declare the establishment of the United States of Japan! Starting from this moment, this room shall be the first dominion of the USJ! Race, ideology, and religion will not matter. Being a citizen will have but one requirement: to do that which is just!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"If the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"What's wrong? Why not shoot? Your opponent is just a schoolboy. Or have you finally realized...the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"That was the turning point. Since that day, I've lived a lie: The lie of living. My name, too, was a lie. My personal history, a lie. Nothing but lies. I was sick to death of a world that couldn't be changed. But even in my lies, I refused to give up in despair. But now, this incredible power, it's mine." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"The trick of real combat is that everyone is human." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"Let me ask you something, Lord Guilford. Suppose there is an evil that justice cannot bring down. What would you do? Would you taint your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or would you carry out your own justice and succumb to that evil?" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"If I'm not mistaken I think it was Suzaku who said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, it is still definitely there, you merely need to change your point of view slightly, and that glass will sparkle whenever it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else can argue its own existence more eloquently." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"The human heart has always been the source of all our power. That is why the people rose up against the High Eunuchs, and the Black Knights fight like titans. We fight with the power of our hearts!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"My name is Lelouch vi Britannia, I am the eldest son of Empress Marianne, the prince who was abandoned by his empire. If anyone wishes to stop me, let them try, if there is anyone who can go beyond my despair." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"That ... I ... I reject you, and I reject everything you believe. Why do people lie, it isn't only because they struggle against each other, it's also because there is something that they're seeking. You now want a world without change. How stagnant, you could hardly call it life. The same as a world of memories, just a world that's closed and completed, that's a place I wouldn't want to live in." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"But forcing your good intentions on others is no different from an evil act." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"... Life without change might be called anything except life, it's nothing more than experience. ... Yes, Emperor Charles sought the past, you seek the present, but I seek the future." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"Before creation there must be destruction. If my soul stands in the way, then I'll toss it aside. Yes, I have no choice but to move forward." -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"Attention entire world, hear my proclamation. I am Lelouch vi Britannia, Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire and your only ruler. Schneizel has surrendered to me. As a result of this, I'm now controlling both Damocles and the F.L.E.I.J.A. weapon. ... Yes, from this day, from this moment on, the world belongs to me. Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, obey me, subject! Obey me, world!" -Zero/Lelouch vi Britannia/Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass

"Mr. Zero, can it really be? What? Oh what luck, what fate, what evil fortune!" -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass

"Orange, you say? That's the name of my loyalty!" -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass

"Orange?'..... DIE!" -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass

"Memorize this! Memorize Jeremiah Gottwald! Commit it to memory because thats the memorable name of the man who has defeated you." -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass

"I swear I'm not Orange! ZERO!" -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass

"I BESEECH YOU... I'm begging you, please die." -Jeremiah Gottwald, Code Geass
