Through our memories, future generations will see that we can overcome — Final Fantasy IX

"I always talked about you, Zidane. How you were a very special person to us, because you taught us all how important life is. You taught me that life doesnt last forever. Thats why we have to help each other and live life to the fullest. Even if you say goodbye, youll always be in our hearts. So, I know were not alone anymore. Why I was born... How I wanted to live... Thanks for giving me time to think. To keep doing what you set your heart on... Its a very hard thing to do. We were all so courageous... What to do when I felt lonely... That was the only thing you couldnt teach me. But we need to figure out the answer for ourselves... Im so happy I met everyone... I wish we couldve gone on more adventures. But I guess we all have to say goodbye someday. Everyone... Thank you. Farewell. My memories will be part of the sky..."

"I shall petition for a life sentence on his behalf. Yes, that would be the honorable thing!"

"Spare me the lecture. Lives come and go all the time. Whats the big deal?"

"Blind pursuit of power is a meaningless vice."

"Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget its painful past... Though we hope for promising years. After shedding a thousand tears, yesterdays sorrow constantly nears. And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue."

"Its too late. Hes gone... Its a miracle he even made it this far. I cant believe this is happening..."

"As long as you keep getting born, it’s okay to die sometimes."

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that theres free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

"History is a strange experience. The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts."

"As soon as a thought or word becomes a tool, one can dispense with actually ‘thinking’ it, that is, with going through the logical acts involved in verbal formulation of it. As has been pointed out, often and correctly, the advantage of mathematics—the model of all neo-positivistic thinking—lies in just this ‘intellectual economy.’ Complicated logical operations are carried out without actual performance of the intellectual acts upon which the mathematical and logical symbols are based. … Reason … becomes a fetish, a magic entity that is accepted rather than intellectually experienced."

"Our feminist culture at the present moment is completely dependent on capitalism. My grandmother was still scrubbing clothes on the back porch on a washboard!"

"A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all. (23)"
