Death Rides a Horse

Death Rides a Horse (aka Da uomo a uomo, or As Man to Man) is a 1968 spaghetti western directed by Giulio Petroni, written by Luciano Vincenzoni, and starring Lee Van Cleef and John Philip Law. Bill Meceita, a boy whose family was murdered in front of him by a gang, sets out 15 years later to exact revenge. On his journey, he finds himself continually sparring and occasionally cooperating with Ryan, a gunfighter on his own quest for vengeance, who knows more than he says about Bill's tragedy.

This is revenge... And there's nothing sweet about it! taglines

Dialogue

 * Ryan: Somebody once wrote, "Revenge is a dish that has to be eaten cold." Hot as you are, you're liable to end up with indigestion.

 * [Once again following Ryan to recover his horse, Bill arrives at the Holly Spings train station.]
 * Station Master: This guy told me a pal of his'd be coming along. He said I should give you the horse and a kiss. The horse is there, waiting for you. Eh, n-now, where do you want that kiss?
 * Bill: [grimacing] No thanks. I'll settle for the horse.

 * Ryan: Well, actually I don't think i'm really in that close a relationship with our good Lord. And i don't recall receiving any messages from him. But I am here for personal reasons and they may just coincide with yours.

Taglines

 * This is revenge... And there's nothing sweet about it!
 * When you've waited fifteen years to find a man... it's a shame you can only kill him once!

Cast

 * Lee Van Cleef — Ryan
 * John Phillip Law — Bill Meceita
 * Carlo Pisacane — Holly Spring Station Master

 * Even if it was (and I can't seem to recall any point in the movie when Anakin/Vader said that, but I'll reluctantly give you the benefit of the doubt), the quote is still pointless, unmemorable, and not quotable. Wikiquote is not the place for cataloging everything that was said in a film (or book, or by a person, etc.) and meaningless quotes like that don't make the cut. —LrdChaos (talk) 13:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yitzhak Shamir

Yitzhak Shamir (Hebrew יִצְחָק שָׁמִיר) (born Yitzhak Yezernitsky; October 22, 1915 – June 30, 2012)  was an Israeli politician and the seventh Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms, 1983–84 and 1986–1992. Before the establishment of the state of Israel, Shamir was a leader of the Zionist militant group Lehi. After the establishment of the Israeli state he served in the Mossad between 1955 and 1965 and as a Knesset Member. He served as the 6th Speaker of the Knesset and as Foreign Affairs Minister.

Quotes

 * The sea is the same sea, and the Arabs are the same Arabs.
 * Shamir used this phrase in 1996, following the Oslo accords ("It's Inconceivable" by Rafi Mann)

 * For the land of Israel - it is allowed to lie

 * Our image has undergone change from David fighting Goliath to being Goliath.
 * Daily Telegraph London, (25 January, 1989).

Quotes about

 * Every time they try to shake us off their backs, we in our blindness search for "instigators." There are no instigators, Mr. Prime Minister; there are just people who do not want a foreign occupation. Let me ask you: did you do what you did in the underground in the 1940s because of "instigators," Mr. Shamir?
 * Shulamith Hareven "Life Is Now, Mr. Shamir" in The Vocabulary of Peace: Life, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East (1995)

 * Begin, Shamir and Sharon were the evil three.
 * Harold Wilson, Speech at Indiana University (4 October 1982) after the Beirut massacre, quoted in The Times (5 October 1982), p. 4

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2004 - ) is a Japanese anime television show based on the manga by Masamune Shirow and made popular world-wide by Mamoru Oshii's 1995 cyberpunk classic Ghost in the Shell.

SA: Public Security Section 9; SECTION-9

 * Opening Screen: It is a time when, even if nets were to guide all consciousness that had been converted to photons and electrons toward coalescing, standalone individuals have not yet been converted into data to the extent that they can form unique components of a larger complex.

 * Perp: [after being chased down by the Major] You people are cops?! Now I know there’s no hope for justice in the system!
 * Major: If you’ve got a problem with the world, change yourself. If that's a problem, close your eyes, shut your mouth, and live like a hermit. And if that’s a problem… [cocks gun and presses it against his head]

 * Batou: Borma, I’m almost at your location!
 * Borma: Don’t run out into traffic, okay?
 * Batou: I'll look before crossing, Mom. [he runs into traffic and is almost hit by Pazu and Borma’s car]

 * Batou: He’s got guts, burning out his own memories like that. He did it, even though he knew it might cause brain damage.

 * Major: [To Togusa] If you’ve got time to be depressed, why not grace us with your special talents?

 * Major: This next footage is of the Minister and a geisha going into the bathroom.
 * Aramaki: With a geisha?
 * Major: Apparently, he sometimes likes to swap bodies with geishas when he gets drunk.

 * Aramaki: At section 9, we aim to please.

 * Aramaki: Major!
 * Motoko: Almost there!
 * Aramaki: The military's itching to jump in. Watch your back!
 * Motoko: Thanks for the concern.

 * Batou: But Major! What if the robot geishas demand a pay raise?
 * Togusa: Knock it off.

 * Motoko: All personnel in position! Standing by!
 * Aramaki: Right. You're on.
 * Motoko: Go!

SA: Proof of Recklessness; TESTATION

 * Major: Togusa, meet up with the Chief at Kenbishi. Find out what caused the tank to go haywire. Batou and I will herd the runaway tank with the six Tachikomas.
 * Batou: Gee, you get all the action…
 * Togusa: Don’t come crying to me if that tank blows you to hell.

 * Tachikoma: [upon seeing the larger tank] Wow.
 * Major: Don’t get so googly-eyed that you wander into its field of fire! Let’s go!

 * [while following behind the large tank inside the Tachikomas]
 * Batou: I know we don’t stand a chance against it, but being totally ignored like this ticks me off.
 * Major: Care to head around in front of it, then?
 * Batou: I’m kidding.

 * Tachikoma 1: He’s so lucky! He broke down!
 * Tachikoma 2: Maybe they’ll do a structural analysis on him!

 * Kago: When my body dies, I’ll be free of my religion.

 * Batou: Son of a bitch. He hated his parents that much?
 * Major: No. It was just for a split second, but I felt something when I burned out Kago’s brain. “Well, Mom? What do you think of me in my steel body?” It was a strange sensation. It wasn’t pride… Or vengeance.
 * Batou: Forget about it. It was just a hallucination.
 * Major: I hope so. There’s no way we’ll ever know for sure now.

 * Batou: Hey, we don't even know its capabilities and we're going in with Tachikomas.
 * Motoko: [chuckles] Don't be too quick to underestimate them.
 * Tachikoma 1: That's right!
 * Tachikoma 2: You tell 'em, Major!
 * Tachikoma 3: Bring it on!

 * Batou: You get all the fun jobs, don't ya?
 * Togusa: Don't come crying to me if you get blown away.

 * Tachikoma 1: Harima Research Academy is the place where our neurochips were made.
 * Tachikoma 2: A triumphant return to our birthplace.
 * Tachikoma 3: The Major gets mad when we chatter.

 * SWAT Officer 1: First time I've seen them work.
 * SWAT Officer 2: I didn't think Section 9 really existed.

 * Batou: You ok?
 * Destroyed Tachikoma: I'm fine!
 * Motoko: Wait there for assistance.
 * Destroyed Tachikoma: Sure thing...since I can't move.

C: The Visual Device Will Laugh; INTERCEPTER
Laughing Man's Speech:

You haven't changed a bit Superintendant-General Daidoh. Pleased to meet you. But, you already know who I am don't you?

You know Mr. Daidoh, I tried to avoid this. I didn't want to be involved in your world any longer. I was honestly fed up with you people and your rotting rubbish heap of a world.

So I haven't involved myself in this little farce of yours since the incident occured. Even though I know everything.

In a word, I was exhausted from my fruitless exertions, unfortunately.

But I've changed my mind because, well, this show you put on today is pitiful. a farce should be funny, but this one hasn't made me laugh even once.

So, with the utmost reluctance I must I must challenge you once again.

You and your comedy troupe are going to reconvene in 3 days, right? when you do tell the truth this time, won't you?

Because when the curtain goes up, and you put on another performance that rings as false as this one, I will be forced to remove you from the stage.

C: The Man Who Lurks in the Darkness of the Net; CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!

 * Chroma/Major: [entering the chatroom] So I've heard that this is a place where one can find out more about the Laughing Man.
 * Chat Moderator: You betcha!

 * The Laughing Man: [In the virtual library] ...
 * Chroma/Major: ...?

SA: A Perfect Day for a Jungle Cruise; JUNGLE CRUISE

 * Tachikoma 1: Wow, it sure is damp. Our optical camouflage visibility index is definitely going to shoot up.
 * Tachikoma 2: Our gaskets won't corrode, will they?
 * Boma: Quit your whining. Just be thankful you don't have a sense of smell.
 * Tachikoma 1: Is there an unpleasant odor? We can analyze it with our sensors.
 * Tachikoma 2: Bouma's discomfort index is at 68%.
 * Boma: Ah, shut up.

C: Inside the Forest of the Sub-Imagoes; PORTRAITZ

 * Writing, in blue oil-based paint, on the inside of the door to the cable box: "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. Or should I?"

 * Writing, in blue oil-based paint, on lefty's catcher's mitt: "You know what I'd like to be? I mean if I had my goddamn choice, I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all."

SA: Tachikoma Runaway/The Movie Director's Dream; ESCAPE FROM

 * Kanazuki: What do you think?
 * Major: I have to admit, for a movie it wasn't bad- but diversionary entertainment is transitory, it just comes and goes at the viewers whim. It's the way it should be, but a film with no beginning or end that hooks an audience and won't let go of them is harmful no matter how wonderful you may have believed it was.
 * Kanazuki: Ohh, you're a tough critic. Are you saying that we members of the audience have a reality to which we should return?
 * Major: Yes I am.
 * Kanazuki: For some who sit and watch the film, misery will be waiting for them the instant they go back to reality. You're willing to accept responsibility for depriving these people of their dreams?
 * Major: No, I'm not. But dreams are meaningful when you work toward them in the real world. If you merely live within the dreams of other people it's no different from being dead.
 * Kanazuki: You're a realist.
 * Major: If a romantic escapes from reality, then yes.
 * Kanazuki: A strong girl you are. If the reality you believe in ever comes about, you give me a call. When it happens, that's the time we'll leave this theatre.

SA: Unequal Terrorist; NOT EQUAL

 * Tachikoma: [shoots the guards down a flight of stairs] How do you like that?
 * Saito: Moron! Have you forgotten that you've got somebody inside your pod?
 * Tachikoma: [whines] Ohh/Aww! But I wanna fight some more!

SA: Time of the Machines; MACHINES DÉSIRANTES

 * Tachikoma 1: I've got a better idea of the internal design, but it looks like this thing's not equipped with any autonomous functions to output its condition to the outside.
 * Tachikoma 2: You mean it can't even talk? It's a sub-Turing machine!

 * [The Tachikomas circle behind the Operator]
 * Operator: Huh?
 * Tachikoma 1: Keep up the good work.
 * Tachikoma 2: It's nice to see a robot enthusiastic about her duties.
 * Operator: Ah, what are you up to? I'm responsible for this prototype until the debriefing is over. Don't you Tachikomas even come near it.
 * Tachikoma 3: We won't do anything.
 * Operator: Please stop wasting my time with your blatant lies.
 * Tachikoma 2: You're right. I only tell lies. I never, ever say anything that's true.
 * Operator: Eh?
 * Tachikoma 1: A curious dilemma. Because if what it said is true, that means it wasn't lying. And if what it said is false, that would mean that it does tell the truth. How do you resolve this perplexing contradicton?
 * Operator: Uh. Um, well.
 * All Three Tachikomas: Well, come on, don't you know, figure it out.
 * [The Operator malfunctions. Tachikoma 1 takes the prototype, and all the Tachikomas leave the Operator behind.]
 * Tachikoma 1: Folks who can't handle a self-reference paradox are real suckers.

 * Tachikoma: So, will we be sent back to lab too?
 * Batou: Wha...? Who's been telling you that?
 * Tachikoma: Well, it's just that the way the Major's been looking at us lately is kinda scary.
 * Batou: Oh, is that all? The major's always scary, remember? I think you guys are doing a fine job.
 * Tachikoma: You really think so?
 * Batou: What, you're still worried about that?
 * Tachikoma: Yeah... It just seems like the Major is angry about what we've acquired recently.
 * Batou: "Acquired"? Acquired what?
 * Tachikoma: Well, it's ... Individuality.
 * Batou: Individuality?
 * Tachikoma: Yeah! And you know that "existence of God" thing that I had trouble understanding before? I think I am starting to understand it now. Maybe, just maybe, it's a concept that's similar to a zero in mathematics. In other words, it's a symbol that denies the absence of meaning, the meaning that's necessitated by the delineation of one system from another. In analog, that's God. In digital, it's zero. what do you think? Also, our basic construction is digital, right? So for the time being, no matter how much data we accumulate, we'll never have a Ghost. But analog-based people like you, Batou-san, no matter how many digital components you add through cyberization or prosthetics, your Ghost will never be damaged. Plus, you can even die 'cause you've got a Ghost. You're so lucky. Tell me, what's it feel like to have a Ghost?
 * Batou: How's it feel...? No, I take back what I said earlier. You're pretty messed up, all right.

SA: Chinks in the Armor of the Heart – Ag2O

 * Pavlo Zaitsev: Now I understand it, it was the same as back then, I'm the one with the blind spot, in my heart.

SA: Assassination Duet; LOST HERITAGE

 * Tsujisaki: It's been a long time, Aramaki.
 * Aramaki: It can't be! What's the meaning of this?
 * Tsujisaki: At first I had no intention of doing anything, I only wanted to tell me the truth. A truth I thought posterity should know. The thing I needed to tell me, was that I overwrote my memories into my cyberbrain. I never suspected the potential danger of it. That it would turn me into an assassin.
 * Aramaki: What have you hidden in there? What's in your data library?
 * Tsujisaki: The truth about Okinawa. I only wanted to hand it down to future generations, but when I learned this truth, I discovered the truth behind mom's death. All I wanted after that was revenge. It was a miscalculation on my part. I had no intention of carrying out an assassination, but I am unable to stop the thirst for revenge that festers in my heart.

C: Corporate Graft; SCANDAL
Motoko: The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

C: The Other Side of Good and Evil; EQUINOX

 * The Laughing Man: A basic rule of thumb about hackers is that we live to peek at things that others have hidden, it's our nature. But, the depth of darkness in the hotbed of corruption that I had tried to challenge defeated me, and all I could do was become a deaf-mute, and avert my eyes from it all. Just as you've done these past six years. The Laughing Man, hmm, that was a catchy name they came up with. And here I've been thinking that if I was unsuccessful in persuading you, I'd simply follow Holden's quote and disappear. They went with the Salinger angle, too, good grief.

C: Sunset in the Lonely City; ANNIHILATION

 * Togusa: We've been through this, like I've told you over and over, that's not true.
 * Questioner: Then why was a member of Section 9 in contact with Mr. Serano while impersonating the Laughing Man
 * Togusa: Look, that was only to...
 * Questioner: To what?
 * Togusa: Hey! Section 9 didn't even exist six years ago, did it? How the hell could it be involved with the Laughing Man incident?! Huh?!
 * Questioner: Word has it that data falsification is a specialty with you guys, that true?
 * Togusa: Huh? Ah... gimme a break, would ya? Six years ago I was a police investigator, same as you.
 * Questioner: All right, let's take this again... from the top.

 * Batou: Hell, this is my own life. How I decide to waste it is my own damn business.

C: Smoke of Gunpowder, Hail of Bullets; BARRAGE

 * Yellow tachikoma: Once a problem child always a problem child, know what I'm sayin'?

 * Soldier: Finally done putting up a fight? Damn... I killed him!
 * Batou: What's wrong? I forgot, I look dead to you don't I? Well, don't believe it.
 * Soldier: Uh??!
 * Batou: I'm sorry, but I had to hack your eyes pal.

 * Blue tachikoma: Oh God...we're weak and powerless...My fellow tachikomas and I.
 * Mokoto: That's not true. What you and the others have gained makes you far from powerless.

 * Blue tachikoma: Goodbye.... Mr Batou! [Before both tachikomas sacrifice themselves for Batou]

 * Batou: By the way, I have something that almost didn't make it here. [Batou pulls out a wrist watch]
 * Mokoto: I knew it.
 * Batou: No matter how many prosthetic bodies you've went through this was the one thing that was always ticking away, keeping the same time as you. Nowadays thats far to fleeting, people entrust their memories to external devices because they want to set down solid physical proof that can distinguish them as unique individuals. That watch is all you have though, isn't it? Your only external mnemonic device that identifies the person you've been up to this minute.
 * Mokoto: Those are pretty serious words, where'd you get them from I'd like to know. A watch and weight training gear, both of us have clung to useless scraps of memory, haven't we?

C: Public Security Section 9, Once Again; STAND ALONE COMPLEX

 * Togusa: It's not like I had aspirations to be a hero or anything. However, I'm positive we followed a code of justice that all of believed in without condition or compromise. Laughing Man, you were the one who first tried to shed some light on the black abyss of this case and bring it to the world's attention. Is it possible that at this moment, you're feeling the same as I am? Nah, you wouldn't. Your not the type to go in for that stuff. You must've had a revelation of something and you're watching this with eyes that see the big picture. Isn't that right? I could tell. Major...

 * Laughing Man: Welcome. You took longer than I expected.
 * Motoko: Don't give me that. You didn't even send me an invitation.
 * Laughing Man: "If you stay right where you are, then people will eventually come to you."
 * Motoko: I believe it was Doisneau who said that?
 * Laughing Man: Yes.

 * Laughing Man: I'll tell you. It was a simple piece of mail I stumbled across on the net that began the whole thing. What I'd found was a blackmail document that had probably been sent to Serano Genomics. It was armed with a thesis that was a comparative of the inadequacy of Serano micromachines versus the effectiveness of the Murai vaccine.
 * Motoko: Then the original Laughing Man was the person who authored it?
 * Laughing Man: You could put it like that, I suppose. "I am the machine that reveals the world to you as only I alone am able to see it"
 * Motoko: Dziga Vertov. He was a Russian filmmaker, wasn't he?
 * Laughing Man: Yes. I was kidding myself by thinking it was my personal mission to prove and circulate that information, vital data I alone had happened upon.
 * Motoko: Failing spectacularly. The pure innocent mediator grew dejected at the base nature of the social system and he turned mute.

 * Fukami: You have to adapt in order to survive. Bend your morals, or you'll break eventually.

 * Laughing Man: Who knew that copies could still be produced despite the absence of the original? If you had to give a name to this phenomenon, what would you label it?
 * Motoko: It would be "Stand Alone Complex"
 * Laughing Man: Yes, it's the stand alone complex. From the start the very nature of our current social system has contained the mechanisms to trigger such an amazing occurrence. Personally however, I feel this marks the beginning of a new era of despair. What's your opinion?
 * Motoko: I don't know, it's impossible for me to say. Although I have found one thing that is capable of restoring your individuality after all your information has been syncronised.
 * Laughing Man: Oh really, and what's that?
 * Motoko: Everyday human curiosity.

DI: Well-Fed Me; NIGHT CRUISE
Gino: [Describing the Major in a hooker's body] Her beauty is an undeniable truth. A beauty that makes no attempt to hide the fact that she's a living creature. A purity that accepts pleasure for its own sake and possesses nothing except that which is necessary for survival. A single glance tells you this body is a full prosthetic. Perfect physical form indistinguishable from a being that's specialized for pleasure. This is true beauty. She's the only one that I can be certain is human. I see something in her, something I connect with. It's as if she's stubbornly trying to protect her humanity just like I am. Everything else pales before her spirit. Even if you obtain her body through the power of money you could never possess her will, her beauty, or her truth.
 Motoko: [Describing Gino, after learning his assassination plan is just a fantasy] He's just one of the countless number of pitiful souls who harbor faint dreams of greatness and is frustrated by reality. He'll never carry out his plan. He's a member of the proletariat who is pathetically out of touch with reality.

DI: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning; CASH EYE

 * Tachikoma 1: Are these the people they refer to as perverts?
 * Tachikoma 2: Yeah, but maybe we should refer to them as eccentric.

IN: Those Who Have the Motive; INDUCTANCE

 * Tachikoma 1: If I understand it correctly, zen is not so much a religion, but rather it is a means of freeing human karma from worldly thoughts, right?
 * Tachikoma 2: For us, maybe it correlates to deleting data from our cache when it's full.
 * Tachikoma 1: Yeah, maybe it's similar to that, and having our data synchronized, too.
 * Tachikoma 2: Wow, if that's true, maybe we could link up with someone who's meditating, and download enlightenment!
 * Tachikoma (all): Yeah!

DU: Rhapsody - The Melody of a Bygone Nation; Pu239

 * Batou: You son of a bitch; who the hell do you think we are?
 * Gohda: The real question you should ask is, who do you think you are? An elite special unit of the handpicked chosen few? If your little group had been confronted by an angry mob of refugees and they had come at you with those smuggled weapons, you know you couldn't have stopped them!  Try to rein in your ego and be thankful you got to play the role of decoy under my direction.

IN: Kusanagi's Labyrinth; affection

 * Kusanagi: Thanks for telling me the story. I'll bet that even now, that girl is still searching for the first boy she ever loved.

IN: To Those Without Even a Name...; SELECON

 * Male Reporter: Hey, Are you getting this? What did he say? Get him on camera!
 * Batou: What the hell?!
 * Male Reporter: Swords! They're swinging swords and— [horrified yell] Their heads! They just chopped off each other's heads! Each of them, they—they killed each other! What a unbelievable sight! [grunts] THESE MEN WHO APPEARED ON THE ROOF AND MURDERED ONE ANOTHER WITH SWORDS!

DI: Beware the Left Eye; POKER FACE

 * Saito: [the rookies with whom he's playing poker are lashing out at the Tachikomas] Now don't take it out on those two just because you're losing.

 * Ishikawa: The key to survival on the battlefield isn't courage or weapons. It's caution.

 * Motoko: Cover us! Snow and I will storm the building!
 * Batou: So, what am I? Her backup?
 * Ishikawa: Look on the bright side, pal: this means you've earned her trust now.

 * Saito: [narrating his confrontation with the Major] In that fleeting moment when I was facing off against the Major, I envisioned the outcome of our exchange of fire, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. After assessing the situation and taking all the factors into account, my experiences as a sniper led me to one conclusion: I was about to die.

DI: Repaired Mother-Child Relationship; RED DATA

 * Kid: [When Motoko gets into bed that night] I have a question. When you're full prosthetic, can you have sex?
 * Major: care to find out?

IN: Chain Reaction of Symmetry; CHAIN REACTION

 * Guy With Gun: The real deal. With these, we can mount a war.
 * Kuze: We didn't buy them for the purpose of fighting a war. These oughta give us enough power so we won't have to fight.

 * Motoko: Sounds like Dejima's declared itself an autonomous region.
 * Daisuke: Hmm.
 * Batou: You figure Kuze's behind it?
 * Daisuke: So far, there's been no evidence of Kuze himself, but it's a safe bet it's him. He's cleverly making affected use of the net to divulge the refugee's intentions to the media.
 * Togusa: He's the Che Guevara of the refugee residential district. At least that's what the Nonial Press is calling him.
 * Batou: Great, another intangible hero. The thing I don't get though is, Kuze started it as one of the Individual Eleven, correct? Why did the refugees welcome the guy with open arms? Does he really have some kind of special ability like investigations of The Major and Ishikawa suggested?
 * Motoko: To get the answer, we'll just have to capture him and ask him in person. You also have to realize it's only due to his involvement that we can even step in here like this.
 * Daisuke: That's right. The first order of business is to put the bricks on this situation by apprehending Kuze, the suspected leader of the refugees. We'll worry about getting the authority to challenge the C.I.S. afterward.

 * Ishikawa: In cases like this, it's always the ones whose backs are up against the wall that pull together and take action the quickest. The actions of our own citizens are an opposition to the government agencies at this point.
 * Togusa: It's a mass trend toward individualism. No, it's more like a peace at any price movement growing within the population. Even though this is basically a declaration of war from the refugees.

 * Motoko: Batou, you and the others go on ahead and gather information on how extensively the refugees are armed. Ishikawa and I will dive the refugees' net and rendezvous with you after we've pinpointed Kuze's location.
 * Batou, Ishikawa and Togusa: Roger!

 * Batou: Section 9, looks like things are starting to turn ugly here.
 * Police: The top brass don't seem to think so. I admit we're always hard up here on the field. More than a few of them are itchin' to pass operation command over on to the self defense army. I'm guessing you guys are here as part of them right?
 * Batou: We just came as part on an independent op.
 * Police: Huh, must be nice to pick your jobs with no strings attached.
 * Bateau: You'd think but we gotten haul our own ass' out of the fire.

 * Motoko: We'll hack a refugees' brain. Kuze's cyberbrain seems to be accessible to them at any given time. We won't require any back up until we get close to his ghost line.
 * Ishikawa: Understood.

 * Togusa: It's a lot livelier here than I had heard.
 * Batou: The refugees have been building up this high rise slum for over twenty years. That's why I don't find it strange they refer to the place as their castle.

 * Motoko: Now then, what would be the shortest route to Kuze?
 * Tachikoma: Major! I found a duty roster for a Dejima police station showing that a female officer no else is of full percent is on duty right now!
 * Motoko: Alright good work. Give me a visual.
 * Tachikoma: Here you go!
 * Motoko: Hmm they sure seem bored.
 * Tachikoma: Maybe they're on alert for terrorist attacks.
 * Motoko: OK, we're going to borrow this woman's cyberbrain.
 * Tachikoma: Roger!

 * Motoko: Ishikawa, I want you to run a trace back from gate 5 on the net and try to find out what draws these people to him.
 * Ishikawa: I'm on it.
 * Kusanagi Motoko: Tachikoma, inject maskarae I'll cross his ghost line using my corma file.

 * Kuze: It's me.
 * Refugee: That you, Kuze? Something happened?
 * Kuze: I'm sorry, but there's a good chance that you'll be raided by the police or a military special ops soon. There's no need for you to fight them. Hide the weapons and avoid combat as much as possible. Don't throw your lives away.

 * Motoko: Batou.
 * Batou: What's up?
 * Motoko: We have Kuze's location. It's a camouflaged harbor on the north east edge of Dejima. There's a retro-fitted fishing trawler anchored there. He's probably aboard it.
 * Saito: That's not like you, Major. Are you sure?
 * Motoko: He spotted me at the last minute. We're currently circling above the harbor. He hasn't gone anywhere yet. We'll grab him before he escapes. Meet up with us at the harbor ASAP.
 * Everyone: Roger!

 * Refugee: You came here to capture Kuze.
 * Motoko: What the hell.
 * Refugee: You're idiots. Kuze will never be caught by the likes of you. He's the real thing, he's a legend.

 * Batou: Major, what the hell's going on? You never screwed up like this before. Kuze's not here, and we've just lost one of our own damn rookies. In an ambush by a handful of armed refugees!
 * Motoko: I know. Sorry, because he was never even here to begin with.
 * Batou: Huh?
 * Motoko: Kuze is securing a deal with the Russian mafia for plutonium. He's in Etorofu.

IN: Escape in Defeat; EMBARRASSMENT

 * Batou: [holding Kuze at gunpoint] You're overconfident of that P.K.F. body of yours.
 * Kuze: It's exceeded its product lifespan. It no longer gives me an edge.
 * Batou: [furrows his brow] But you think you're gonna beat me anyway? That pisses me off!

 * Saito: What the hell's up? How long has this guy been running around without his frontal lobe? Does he ever stink.

IN: The Day the Bridge Falls; MARTIAL LAW

 * Kuze: Just as water runs downhill, the human heart also tends to revert to its basest instincts.

IN: Return to Patriotism; ENDLESS∞GIG

 * Man in Car: Ishikawa of Section 9 I take it. I came here to take that off your hands.
 * Ishikawa: Oh, you mean this?
 * [Ishikawa motions to the plutonium hanging from his shoulder.]
 * Man in Car: That's right.
 * [Ishikawa punches him in the face through the car window]
 * Ishikawa: Don't screw with us punk, Section 9 practically invented dirty tricks and information warfare.

 * Motoko: Kuze?
 * Kuze: Yes?
 * Motoko: Do you know how to fold origami cranes?
 * Kuze: Cranes?
 * Motoko: That's right, and only using your left hand.
 * Kuze: With the correct control software, anyone can do that.
 * Motoko: No, that's not what I mean.
 * Kuze: Can you do that, fold left handed?
 * Motoko: Now I can.
 * Kuze: It sounds like you've endured your fair share of loneliness too. I never asked, but who are you? What's your name?
 * Motoko: Don't recall, I do have a pseudonym though. It's the same thing with you, isn't it?
 * Kuze: I see, you're right. The refugees have given me countless names. I joined forces with them with the intent to save them. But maybe the real reason I united with them was to keep the loneliness at bay.
 * Motoko: Yet in the end you couldn't make it go away, because others could rely on you, but you couldn't rely on them.
 * Kuze: Do you have someone you can open yourself up to?
 * Motoko: I suppose I do.

[Flashes to Batou trying rescue Motoko]
 * Kuze: I see, I've been looking for mine, for a long long time.

About
Then after I started working on the second season while still finishing up the first one, I felt I hadn't fully got everything in. I also felt that the characters were sort of guiding my way.
 * Since the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex first season took forever to complete and took a lot of energy out of me, I was beginning to feel that people might be getting bored with the characters and the anime setting. This was before commencing the production of the 2nd Gig.
 * In other words, the characters were no longer moving according to a set plan, but were moving according to their own will, so to speak. I felt that their movements and conversations just came about naturally.
 * Sometimes I had strange experiences while writing a script or drawing a storyboard when I wouldn't really remember writing or drawing it. At that point, I feel that I could work with these characters even further.
 * This is one of the reasons for experimenting with minor characters from the first episode, and creating original stories for them in S.A.C. 2nd Gig.
 * If you felt that we added a more human quality to S.A.C. 2nd Gig, then it might be because to this.
 * The Ghost in the Shell TV series inherited many aspects from Director Oshii. I didn't try to distinguish myself from Director Oshii, Instead, I totally tried to copy him.

Patrick Vieira on Steven Gerrard, 17th May 2015.

"I would have in my team any top technically-gifted player. John Barnes was one, Paul Gascoigne another. Gerrard could have played for Barcelona, as could Lampard. They're players with top-quality technique. Here we prioritise technique over the physical aspect of the game. So a lot of English players could play for Barcelona."

Wayne Rooney asked by Gary Neville:

“The best player ever you’ve played with for England?”

“I’d have to say Gerrard. At times you know he got us through games, at the period where we lost a lot of players like yourself, Rio, Becks. It was me, Stevie and Frank left. Stevie pulled us through a lot of games then.”

Wayne Rooney interviewed by Gary Neville on Sky Sports Football (November 2018)

“Best player I’ve played against in the Premier League? Steven Gerrard. Stevie G for the amount of consistency over the years. When Stevie was on it at Anfield he had everything. He was physical, he could run past you, he could shoot, he had everything.”

Alessandro Nesta On Twitter (May 2015)

“Toughest opponent in the Premier League?”

"If I have to say one - and I really enjoyed playing against - I would say Steven Gerrard.”

“He was physically the most difficult opponent to handle. He was the box-to-box player, he could be on his right or left, shooting from the outside of his boot. He was a machine.”

"Since I was little I had this thing about Steven Gerrard,"

"He was someone in my hometown when we used to watch the highlights of the Premier League he used to score these screamers from outside the box, and running into space, and he used to be everywhere and I used to look up to him a lot.”

Cesc Fàbregas asked his toughest opponent. Interviewed by Rio Ferdinand on “The Locker Room” podcast. (July 2020)

“But there's that and there's the actual practicalities of playing on a big pitch where you need size, strength, substance, running ability, all these things. And if you play one v one, you against you, Stevie against any of the names that you've played, I think he would eat them for dinner.”

“But to me, Stevie's on a different level than anything I've seen or played with and as you've said, I'm not blowing smoke up my a***, I've played with some great Man United players, Liverpool players, Real Madrid, England.”

“Put it this way. If i'm saying tomorrow rewind the clock, you're going into battle now, you're playing in the Champions League final, who's your first pick? I'd have Steven Gerrard as my first pick out of anyone.”

"Steven can do anything, he's in the Vieira mould, where he can sit and hold the ball, spray it about and score goals as well," said the United star "If there are any weaknesses to his game I've not seen them. Every time I play with him for England I realise what a great player he is. "And he does it week in, week out for Liverpool."

When asked for his top three midfielders on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Lampard noted: "Steven Gerrard, in the Premier League. He had everything. If you got him on his day, you can almost forget about it because he was so powerful. Particularly when you used to go up to Anfield, you knew whether Stevie was on his game in the first three minutes because he'd crash through someone. But he had everything... other than the aggressive side, obviously he had top ability. He was a great midfield player."

Jamie Carragher interviews Frank Lampard and asks him who's his toughest opponent and Lampard replies: "Steven Gerrard, domestically. He had everything. He'd deal with you defensively and hurt you going forward. In Europe it was Andres Iniesta and Xavi. As a combination, you couldn't get the ball off them."

"I was glad that the Chelsea fans applauded Gerrard. It was just for a few seconds, but it did show that as fans we can look beyond our club rivalries when necessary. I don’t think it ever happened to me. Maybe when I got substituted at my testimonial! As a season-ticket holder in the Stretford End, I would have applauded Steven off the pitch – albeit just the once. There would have been a few in the seats around me who would object. But just as many who would have done the same."

"I have played alongside some of the greatest footballers of my generation, but there is only one ex-team-mate I would rate higher than Steven Gerrard. The biggest compliment I can give him is he is second only to Zinedine Zidane in terms of his world-class status."

"I would say he is the hardest player to play against in midfield because he's got everything. He is a very complete midfield player. He's the stand-out one in England. Maybe when we play Arsenal and they are sometimes on top form, you could pick one of their players but Gerrard is the main one for me. Stevie is one of the best players in the England team and probably in the world to be honest, so it's always nice to play with great players and against them as well." Frank Lampard on Steven Gerrard (4th October 2009): http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/frank-lampard-liverpool-are-toughest-and-steven-1671490

Arsene Wenger on Steven Gerrard (25th November 2015): http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/arsenal-boss-arsene-wenger-admits-12230744

“Steven Gerrard is for sure one of my favourite enemies and for sure my dear enemy, the one who made me a better manager. To stop him or try to stop him has been very, very difficult. I lost against him, I won, I drew, I was happy. I am very sad it’s the last day against him. He’s had an amazing career with his (own) people. He refused to play in other big clubs, other big leagues to play only for Liverpool and this is a feeling that stays together." Jose Mourinho on Steven Gerrard (8th May 2015): http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-admits-tried-sign-5661847

“We beat Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfield and Raul came up and asked if he’d go to Real Madrid in that summer, so that is how strong the feeling was from Real Madrid – the actual captain asking if he’d sign! We used get that type of thing plenty of times!" Liverpool FC Jamie Carragher on Steven Gerrard, (24th November 2016): http://talksport.com/football/steven-gerrard-retires-football-real-madrid-legend-raul-tried-bring-liverpool-legend

"Steven Gerrard is undoubtedly a world class player and I wish he'd played for United. I went on a tapping-up mission at Euro 2004 when I knew Chelsea were trying to take advantage of Liverpool being in turmoil. 'Come play for United,’ I said one day to Steven when we were in the hotel. 'The fans will take to you in no time.' He just laughed, and said: 'I’ll do it if you go to Anfield.'" Manchester United FC legend Gary Neville on tapping up Steven Gerrard. Quote from Gary Neville's Autobiography RED. (August 2011) Read more at http://talksport.com/magazine/features/2011-08-28/gary-nevilles-autiobiography-10-quotes#tmDtvFluPRFuCxy8.99

 * "What makes him so good? Well, there is nothing he can't do. He is clever. He sees the game quicker than anyone else. He sees the picture. He can play the ball first time round corners that aren't even there. He has got intelligence. He has got physical attributes. He can bomb past people. He is quick. He is a proper, powerful athlete. Give him a header, he will score. He can play in behind the front man. He can get the ball off the back four and control the game from the quarterback position. He is just an immense all-round footballer. I have never seen anyone put it all together like him, never seen someone with so many qualities. I have played with a lot of talented players, but he was better than any of them."
 * Craig Bellamy wrote in his autobiography about Steven Gerrard: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/13/steven-gerrard-liverpool

 * I find it a disgrace that he didn’t win European Footballer of the Year in 2005 after Istanbul. For me, he is one of the best ever. Whenever you play Liverpool you know you have to get him out of the game. If not, it’s all over for you. “He’s a midfielder and if you look at all the important goals he’s scored - well I can’t even think of a striker in the world who has scored as many important goals, never mind a midfielder. How many times has he done it in the dying seconds of a game? I am trying to think of a striker now who does it - there aren’t any. Think about it.
 * Thierry Henry on Steven Gerrard (Source) (November 2008)

 * For me, and I have always said this, he will be regarded as one of the greatest midfielders ever when he finishes his career. No doubt.
 * Kaka Quoted in Kaka:Steven Gerrard has The Heart Of a Lion Goal, 12 November 2009

 * Yes of course [Gerrard’s one of the best I’ve faced]. For long periods when Liverpool were in trouble, everyone looked to Gerrard and nine out of 10 times he did it. He’s a huge player and what I liked is that he’s shown great loyalty through his whole career to play for Liverpool. It’s very difficult to see how because he had the calibre to play for any big club but he stayed loyal and I have big respect for that. When you look at his qualities it’s hard to see what he didn’t have in the locker. He’s quick, a good passer, good technique, could score goals, a dream midfielder. He had every single quality needed for midfield.
 * Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal (Quoted in Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger: Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard the complete midfielder, Daily Express, 2 April 2015

 * I'd put him in the top three, not just in England but in the world because he's a complete player. Would I have liked to play alongside him?" I think anyone would love to play with players of that calibre. He's a terrific player; he's a match-winner, so I think he's a player any club in the world would want. Gerrard is a complete player because he can play in every position and can do everything with a football at any time in a game. He's a player who scores goals, who builds the play, he's a sensational player."
 * Francesco Totti, on Steven Gerrard, (17th May 2015): http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/185397-totti-steven-s-been-the-complete-player

 * "What I have always liked of Steven is that on the pitch he was very quiet, but was capable of inspiring all his teammates with great strength, not so much with words. His story is one of those stories to be told, one of those fairytales - just like it happened to me - to be narrated to your children and grandchildren. I still remember his face [in Istanbul] and the pain he was in from cramp but he was still going around tackling everybody. He put everything into it. For you guys, he was an example for all the others. I think Steven has been and is an absolutely complete player, because he had personality, technique, he could set the play and also defend, and he could score goals - penalty-kicks, free-kicks. So really a modern, complete player. I have a very clear memory of the final we lost in Istanbul, when he was helping his teammates with difficulties in defence. He started playing at the back and tackled every single player of Milan. But I must say that what probably made the difference was his example for all his teammates."
 * Paolo Maldini on Steven Gerrard, (22nd May 2015): http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/185608-maldini-steven-is-similar-to-baresi

 * "The best midfielder I would say is Steven Gerrard. I really rate him as a player and as a man."
 * Patrick Vieira on Steven Gerrard, (14th October 2008): http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2008/10/14/911437/vieira-gerrard-is-best-midfielder

 * "He's one of the players I would have loved to coach, and I thought about him so many times in the past when I was at Milan. But it was impossible because he was very much linked with Liverpool. We had sounded him out but Gerrard's bond with Liverpool was unbreakable. I don't remember exactly what year it was but we did try. Of course, I wanted to pair him up with Pirlo, it was a fantastic combination. Putting Gerrard in midfield with Pirlo. It would have been fantastic."
 * Carlo Ancelotti on Steven Gerrard, (19th October 2014): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2798861/carlo-ancelotti-tried-sign-steven-gerrard-pair-andrea-pirlo.html

 * "Obviously he's one of the best players in the world and I'd like to manage him one time in the future. If you can manage the best players, it's easier to win. I don't know him as a person. I think he's a good man. But the reason I would like to manage him is because I've managed a lot of fantastic players, and he's one of the best players. In Italy, when I played, there were players like [Giancarlo] Antognoni at Fiorentina, Rainer Bonhof in Germany. Today, Gerrard. Full stop. He can be a holding midfielder. He has fantastic shots, passes and skills. He is the complete midfielder."

 * But speaking about Liverpool and speaking about honouring the champions, this is my time to honour a champion. It is my time to honour Steve Gerrard.It is with opponents like him that I am the manager that I am, because I learn with my players and I learn with my best opponents. I tried to bring him to Chelsea, I tried to bring him to Inter (Milan), I tried to bring him to Real Madrid but he was always a dear enemy."
 * Jose Mourinho on Steven Gerrard, (8th May 2015)

 * Lampard was asked, "Who was your best opponent in the Premier league, directly in midfield?" Lampard's answer: "Steven Gerrard. I think over the period of my career playing against Stevie [Gerrard] in those big games against Liverpool when he was on top of his game. You knew he was a force and we had great battles, I had a lot of respect for him as a player even though we had those rivalries. I think as you get older it is much easier to have a view on it rather than that view when you’re playing each other and you’re real rivals. I have to give Stevie complete respect for as a midfield player.”
 * Frank Lampard on Sky Sports, Monday Night Football:

 * 'For me Gerrard can do everything and that's the reason I'd say he was the best of the three if I had to split them ahead of Scholes and Lampard in that order. They are all top professionals and each brought different attributes and strengths but Gerrard can tackle, defend, score goals, head it, make a telling precision pass, dictate the tempo and is a powerful runner. He has a bit more to his game."

 * On a BBC documentary, Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney was asked who was the best player he played with for England. “I’d have to say Stevie [was the best]. For me he’s an incredible player, an incredible leader. He helped me a lot during my early days with England.”
 * BBC Documentary, Rooney, The Man Behind The Goals. Wayne Rooney on Steven Gerrard, (6th October 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeQu51BtDgg#t=12m00s

 * "For me, it's not about Gattuso against Gerrard, despite what he said. For me, Gerrard is the best player in England. He is a technical player, who plays very hard and with his heart. He is a legend for his club and the best player they've got. I have more respect for him because I remember that final in Istanbul. We had won it but then he played a great game and changed everything. I watched him against Chelsea on Tuesday and he was amazing, unbelievable. I still say I have respect for him and like the way he plays. I am looking forward to playing him again and looking him in the eye before it starts. This will be a very important game for us both.
 * Gennaro Gattusso on Steven Gerrard, (4th May 2007): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/henrywinter/2312443/Gattuso-on-destiny-date-with-Gerrard.html

 * “Gerrard will fit in with any club in the world. He’s one of the players in the world that have all what it takes to play for Real Madrid. I want to urge Gerrard to join Real Madrid. If you don’t play for Real Madrid you always feel that something is missing. There is nothing better than wearing Real Madrid’s jersey. This is a big opportunity for Gerrard. I’m not talking money wise, but victories wise. I’m sure that Gerrard has alot of respect towards Mourinho. Steven signing for Real Madrid will be perfect for him.”
 * Kaka on Steven Gerrard, (August 2010)

 * Kaka wants AC Milan to sign Steven Gerrard, despite the England midfielder recently agreeing a new contract with Liverpool. The Brazilian said: ‘The time has arrived to re-energise a group which has many players at the end of their contracts. Gerrard is a complete player and can play anywhere. I could see him fitting in really well at Milan."
 * Kaka on Steven Gerrard, (16th April 2009): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1170337/Kaka-urges-AC-Milan-chiefs-bring-complete-player-Gerrard-San-Siro.html

 * Asked who was the toughest English opponent he had faced over the years, Pirlo said, “That night in Istanbul, Liverpool’s fight back was centralized on Steven Gerrard. He was their leader, their star player, their man who made it happen. Carlo tried to sign Gerrard for Milan so we could play together, but he had no interest in leaving Liverpool,” Pirlo, 36, told ShortList magazine. “We could have played together, but now in MLS we will be playing against each other, and I will look forward to that"
 * Andrea Pirlo On Steven Gerrard, (11th August 2015): http://nesn.com/2015/08/andrea-pirlo-hails-steven-gerrard-as-his-toughest-english-opponent/

 * “I have said in the past that at his peak he was the best in the world. I think it was the summer of 2004 I was having a conversation with Florentino (Perez) and I told him I wanted him to partner me in midfield for Madrid. I know the club tried twice but he wouldn’t leave Liverpool. Not many players turn down Real Madrid but I think that tells you a lot about the loyalty of the man.”
 * Zinedine Zidane on Steven Gerrard, (3rd January 2015): http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/zinedine-zidane-wanted-steven-gerrard-8378457

 * "Alex Ferguson is obviously one of the most successful coaches the game has ever had. But I did find his comments about Steven Gerrard very strange. To say he is not a top player is wrong. For two or three years, Steven Gerrard was the best midfield player in the world. Even now he is playing at a high level for Liverpool and England."
 * Zinedine Zidane on Steven Gerrard, (23rd of October 2013): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2477801/Zinedine-Zidane-rubbishes-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-Steven-Gerrard-criticism.html

 * ‘He is physically and technically precocious. He’s got a good engine and remarkable energy. He reads the game and he passes quickly. I would hate to think Liverpool have someone as good as Roy Keane."
 * Alex Ferguson on Steven Gerrard, (December 17th 2000): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2473158/Sir-Alex-Ferguson-Steven-Gerrard--stats-prove-Fergie-wrong.html

 * "He's a player that I really thought a lot of, I had a lot of time for him and rated him. I can't say that about everyone," Zidane told LFCTV. "Why did I like him so much? Perhaps there was something about him that reminded me a little bit of myself. He made a lot of noise out there on the field but was quiet off it, meaning that he was someone down to earth and grounded away from the game who just said what needed to be said. He preferred to do his talking on the field, using his voice, his combative spirit and above all his ability on the ball that could make the difference in a game. I would have really liked to have played alongside him. But he has always remained loyal to his own club, Liverpool, the club of his heart. That also is another characteristic that is particular to him, I don't think there are too many players who have spent their entire career playing for just one club. That is a great strength of his too. It was never possible, because of course he stayed with Liverpool, but I would have loved to play with a guy like him. It's simply that he's one of the few players, and I must come back to his combative spirit here, who is a superb technician, who is great on the ball, but who mixed in those fighting qualities with everything he did."
 * Zinedine Zidane on Steven Gerrard, (21st May 2015): http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/real-madrid-legend-zinedine-zidane-5733875

 * When Kaka was questioned by British football magazine Four-Four-Two recently as to who he thought was the best player in the world. "That’s a difficult question," he replied. "If I had to choose three, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo, because of his skill and speed; Messi, because of his flair and skills; and Steven Gerrard, who for me is the complete modern player."
 * Kaka on Steven Gerrard: (31st March 2009): http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/english-football/2009/03/31/1184703/milan-star-kaka-hails-liverpool-icon-steven-gerrard

 * "The fans, they look only for forwards, always a forward," Pele told Sky Sports News. "Somebody who scores. "Sometimes you have a player like Gerrard. "For me, for the last five years Gerrard has been the best player in the world. "He is a midfielder, he plays very good. People didn't mention Gerrard, now they mention Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi because they are forwards."
 * Pelé, (Source)

 * ‘Gerrard is an excellent player, absolutely world-class. If I was a manager, everywhere I went I would buy Steven Gerrard. ‘He is what Brazil needs, because he is always looking forward and has a big heart. ‘Two years ago I saw Gerrard play and then I saw him in Tokyo in a game against Sao Paulo. I said then that Gerrard is a great player. To me he is one of the best midfielders in the world. He is an excellent player.’
 * Pelé, (Source)

 * ‘He has had a great career winning many things - but it would be a big shame for him if he was never to win the league with Liverpool’. ‘For everything that he has given - he deserves a league title.’ ‘I don't think that is any secret that Real Madrid and Chelsea had big interest in him and that is just the teams the media knew about. ‘He could have played for any team in Europe - but he turned them down. That sort of loyalty should be rewarded with a title.’ ‘England have probably produced the two best midfield players of the last 20 years in Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes,’ ‘There was a point when Gerrard was the best midfield player in the world. It is unusual to get complete midfield players who can do everything, but that is what he was. ‘His legs are not going to be what they were five or six years ago - but his presence and leadership are invaluable for Liverpool.’
 * Zinedine Zidane, France Legend (Source)

 * He is, in my opinion, the best midfielder in the world, and has a track record for delivering on the big occasions.
 * Graham Taylor, former manager of the English national football team (Source)

 * He has become the most influential player in England, bar none. Not that Vieira lacks anything, but Gerrard does more.
 * Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United FC (Source)

 * "Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, Lionel Messi or Xavi from Barcelona deserved the award more. "Ronaldo is only focused on finishing in front of goal. "I love Gerrard's qualities as a player and a leader. Technically and tactically he is the best. His passion is enormous, he means as much for a great team as George Best. "He is a player who fans can identify themselves with and a man who carries the love for his club on his club badge. There is not another player in the world who combines all those qualities. I like him so much more than Ronaldo."
 * Guus Hiddink on Steven Gerrard's Ballon D'or claim, (Source)

 * He is undoubtedly one of the best midfield players in the world. Any top club would want him in their side.
 * Carlo Ancelotti, manager of AC Milan (Source)

 * “Steven Gerrard would be the captain of my World XI dream team.”
 * Francesco Totti, Roma Legend (Source)

 * “He’s been a reference to all his team-mates throughout the years and is now in history for such a brilliant career at his club for all his life.”
 * Iker Casillas, Real Madrid Legend (Source)

 * "His story is one of those stories to be told, one of those fairytales - just like it happened to me - to be narrated to your children and grandchildren."
 * Paolo Maldini, AC Milan Legend (Source)

 * "My Hero. My Mate"
 * Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich player (Source)

 * “He’ll absolutely be remembered as one of the greats; for me, he is already one of them. There are so many things [that are good about Steven Gerrard]. He is so inspirational. In the key moments he has that difference – a spark that is difficult to define.”
 * Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich player (Source)

 * “But speaking about Liverpool and speaking about honouring the champions, this is my time to honour a champion. It is my time to honour Steve Gerrard. It is with opponents like him that I am the manager that I am, because I learn with my players and I learn with my best opponents. I learn with my players’ problems, my players’ doubts, my players’ qualities and I learn with my best opponent, with the problems they give me – the way they make me think, the way they make me analyse them and studying the best way to play against them. Steven Gerrard is for sure one of my favourite enemies – an enemy with all the good feeling I can express with that word in football. For sure, in England he is my dear enemy. For sure, he is the one that made me a better manager. To stop him or try and stop him has been very, very difficult. I tried to bring him to Chelsea, I tried to bring him to Inter, I tried to bring him to Real Madrid but he was always a dear enemy,” he said “I want to honour him and I hope Stamford Bridge has the same feeling as I have, which is we need people like him as our opponents.”
 * Jose Mourinho, manager of Chelsea (Source)

 * We are preparing a special weightlifting plan for Gerrard's shoulders because we want him to lift a lot of trophies for us in the next few years.
 * Rafael Benítez, manager of Liverpool FC (Source)

 * Steven Gerrard was awesome today. We were just laughing in the dressing room that at one stage we thought he was heading his own crosses in.
 * Gareth Southgate on Gerrard after a Premiership game between Middlesbrough and Liverpool in 2005. Peter Gill. "Lordy, It's The Quotes Of The Week", Football365.com, August 16, 2005 (article offline; cache).

 * Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of (Lionel) Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be.If you don't have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the engine room, it can affect the whole team.When we were winning league titles and European Cups at Real, I always said Claude Makelele was our most important player. There is no way myself, (Luis) Figo or Raul would have been able to do what we did without Claude and the same goes for Liverpool and Gerrard. He has great passing ability, can tackle and scores goals, but most importantly he gives the players around him confidence and belief. You can't learn that -- players like him are just born with that presence.
 * Zinedine Zidane(Source)

 * An excellent player, in my opinion, he is a modern player because he is a player who runs, marks, knows how to pass, cross, score goals and he is a leader on the field for Liverpool. So he is a player that I would like to have in my team.
 * Kaka on Steven Gerrard, (May 2006)

 * "If you were looking for the player you would replace Keane with, it's Gerrard, without question. He has become the most influential player in England, bar none. Not that Vieira lacks anything, but I think that Gerrard does more for his team than Vieira does. To me, Gerrard is Keane; he is now where Keane was when Roy came to us in 1994. I've watched him quite a lot, and everywhere the ball is, he seems to be there. He's got that unbelievable engine, desire, determination. Anyone would love to have Gerrard in their team. Vieira has done that job for Arsenal for two or three years. But you can see Gerrard rising and rising."
 * Alex Ferguson (May 2004) (Source)

 * England have always had individually strong players and I am a huge fan of Stevie Gerrard, He has the heart of a lion and is the icon of the modern footballer with his ability to attack and defend so well."
 * Kaka on Steven Gerrard, Nov 2009 (Source)

 * Gerrard is the best player I've ever played with"
 * Luis Suarez on Steven Gerrard, (March 2014) (Source)

 * 'He is without doubt the greatest player I have ever played with, he has everything. At Liverpool, he is irreplaceable. Every big club has a standard bearer, a home-grown talent, someone with a lifelong commitment to the cause. People come and go but he’s always there. It’s him and 10 others. He’s everything to the side. That’s Steven Gerrard at Liverpool. I can’t even begin to imagine the place without him.'
 * Fernando Torres on Steven Gerrard, Sep 2009 (Source)

 * I had really not seen much of him before this season, apart from for England, but wow. I think of him as being at the same level as Pirlo. Vision, technique, but he is powerful as well. Stevie can do anything. It's going to be very difficult for the team to find another player like him in the future.
 * Mario Balotelli on Steven Gerrard,(Source) (October 2014)

 * In my own position, I was crazy about [Steven] Gerrard. I remember in the Champions League final comeback by Liverpool against AC Milan, you saw him up front, on the wings, and a moment later he was back, marking the playmaker, I have never seen such a complete midfielder."
 * Claudio Marchisio, (November 2011) (Source) (May 2011)

 * I couldn't vote for Thierry Henry as the Player of the Year because you can't vote for your own team-mates, reveals Vieira. So I voted for Gerrard. In my opinion he's in the top three midfielders in the world, maybe the best right now."I heard what Alex Ferguson said about him being better than me. He's probably right. Gerrard is England's best player and he single-handedly got Liverpool into the Champions League. He is the complete player. He can score, he has a great final ball, he can tackle and he drives his team forward. He is a winner on the pitch, which is why I really admire him.
 * Patrick Vieira on Steven Gerrard, (Source) (June 2004)

 * When people talk about the best footballers in Europe, they always single out Messi, and Ronaldo, but Gerrard is just as strong, Messi and Ronaldo are special talents and the fact that they are in teams winning the important trophies means they stand out from the rest. Maybe you need to win something to earn the big awards, I don't know, but we all understand how good Gerrard is. "I'm spoilt having a team-mate like Gerrard as I can count on him supplying me with perfect passes. You make the run into the space and however tightly marked he is, he finds a way to get the ball through in perfect condition. "The highest compliment I can pay him is that he's as creative as a Xavi at Barcelona, with something extra as well. When you add his energy, toughness, leadership and goal scoring ability and the result is a fantastic all-round player. "Maybe I am biased because he is my team-mate and friend, but Stevie does not get the credit he deserves either in England or with European fans. This can change in 2010 when he has a chance to confirm his class with Liverpool and in the World Cup.
 * Fernando Torres on Steven Gerrard, (Source) (June 2009)

 * Gerrard has been my idol for 10 years and is one of the best players in the world. He is the example of what all midfield players aspire to. He is always there in the heat of the battle, leading by example. He is everywhere you look - in defence, in the middle of the pitch and in attack. I would love to be close to that level.
 * Daniele De Rossi, (Source) (8th May 2015)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Romica1969. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Romica1969~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
