Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX is a role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft in 2000 for the Sony PlayStation video game console. The game's plot centers on a group of bandits hired to kidnap the princess of an expanding kingdom, set in a late medieval fantasy world experiencing a renaissance where rapid transcontinental travel is made possible by airships sailing across a firmament of magical mist. The Crystal Comes Back (tagline)

Zidane Tribal

 * You don't need a reason to help people.
 * T'is foolishness! If all were so easy, why, none would suffer in this world!
 * The scene in "I Want To Be Your Canary" right before Zidane engages Blank in the 'Vamo Alla Flemenco' battle.
 * Come on, Princess. Let's ditch Sir Rustalot and get outta here!
 * To hell with looks. It's what's inside that counts.
 * I can't sit around knowing a girl's in trouble. Goes against my nature.
 * Ooo, soft...
 * After "accidentally" touching Garnet's butt.
 * I'm not gonna sit back and watch your home get destroyed, alright?
 * You make it sound so easy...
 * After seeing Freya jump ten feet into the air, entering the palace of Burmecia.
 * Piece of cake. I'm an escape artist.
 * Oh, come on! Why do you think everyone stayed behind!? Yeah, they're fighting for you, but also, they know, deep down inside, that they have to fight! Beatrix, Freya, Marcus, Blank, even Steiner... Sometimes, you can't think everything out. You have to listen to your heart.
 * to Dagger
 * Heroic? Human? Those are just things people say after the fact... It's not what the people say afterward... What's important is being true to oneself.
 * This is my home. This is the place I call home. The man is still looking for his birthplace. But he already has a home.
 * speaking of his past
 * In the end, it boils down to two simple choices. Either you do or you don't. You'd think with all the problems in this world, there'd be more answers. It's not fair... but that's the way things are. The choice is yours.
 * I just wanna protect the people I'm with. Doesn't matter whether I can or not. It's what I believe in.
 * Doesn't it feel nice to let yourself go under the stars?
 * urinating outside
 * Oh, I get real clingy when I'm sad!
 * The sly eagle doesn't kill at whim.
 * I want to shine!
 * You're all a bunch of babysitting bastards! But trust me, I know that I'm the worst bastard here.
 * during his depression
 * I had a whole speech ready for her. But it would've been a lie! How could I lie to her!? 'Good luck, Dagger! I'll be watching you from afar'. 'Come find me if you need someone to talk to'. It's a big fat lie! That's not how I feel at all! That's not how I feel... at all.
 * Possibly a reference to the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. A passage in the poem reads: "That is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all". Both quotes deal with inner feelings for a woman.
 * I can't start my day without Dagger! Her smile! Her voice! Her voice is like a beautiful song... And her song makes me soar high into the sky!
 * You have to find the answer yourself. It'll be hard, but you can do it.
 * to Mikoto
 * Through our memories, future generations will see that we can overcome any fear!
 * The abduction is over. I can't take you any further. ...I'm sorry for being so selfish.
 * Bring my beloved Dagger to me!

Vivi Ornitier

 * How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we don't exist...
 * Those dolls they were making underground... Did you think they look like me?
 * I have to find out who I am... I'm scared... What if I'm not even human...?
 * I won't let you make any more instruments of murder!
 * Oh, nothing... My face is always like this.
 * When asked, "Why the long face?" by Eiko.
 * Don't leave us again, okay?
 * to Zidane
 * 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 doesn't last forever. That's why we have to help each other and live life to the fullest. Even if you say goodbye, you'll always be in our hearts. So, I know we're 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... It's a very hard thing to do. We were all so courageous... What to do when I felt lonely... That was the only thing you couldn't teach me. But we need to figure out the answer for ourselves... I'm so happy I met everyone... I wish we could've 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...

Adelbert Steiner

 * Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?
 * [to Vivi] You can't lose to that monkey Zidane!
 * OG...!!! OGLOP!!!
 * Bah! Only a flesh wound!
 * A reference to the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
 * I shall petition for a life sentence on his behalf. Yes, that would be the honorable thing!
 * Devotedly to himself after Zidane disregards his commands.
 * I can't believe I played a part in this debacle!
 * A true man never gives up in a fight!
 * Chivalry requires a knight to look after his comrades-in-arms. I will not abandon you! And I shall follow you to kingdom come if I must. You remember that!
 * I may not know who I really am, but that is my question alone to answer!
 * 'Even a fly lives for a day'!
 * After Zidane has given a speech about fighting Kuja regardless of his strength.

Garnet Til Alexandros XVII (Dagger)

 * Someday I will be queen, but I will always be myself.
 * I have a favor I wish to ask of you... I wish to be kidnapped right away.
 * Get off me, you scumbag!
 * A line she picked up from Zidane as advice to Vivi, coincidentally yelled before she was grabbed by Zorn and Thorn.
 * No matter how hard I try, I'm always a step behind in everything...
 * My talent's up to snuff, but that name isn't.
 * After Zidane's suggestion of their new gang name, "The Betrothed".
 * I don't know what the future holds... But I want to finish what I came here for.
 * Mother... I shall become a great queen!
 * Mother... Zidane... No... I can't depend on them anymore! As the queen of Alexandria, I must protect my kingdom.
 * I have to move forward now. We still have our whole lives ahead of us. I can't be depressed forever...
 * We may be weak, but that's what makes us work together and help one another!
 * If it weren't for you, I probably would've led a meaningless life. With you, I was able to see so much of the world and meet so many people.
 * At the ending dialogue between Dagger and Zidane.
 * We faced many hardships, too... but... I think I finally know what's important.
 * Promise me one thing... Please come back.
 * To Zidane, before boarding the airship and leaving him behind.

Amarant Coral

 * The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty.
 * I'm not here to help. I just want it to be fair.
 * I don't work with hostage-taking scumbags. Now, get lost.
 * I'd rather die as a warrior than live as a beggar.
 * My money's on Kuja.
 * Referring to the battle between Queen Brahne and Kuja.
 * You still owe me a rematch.
 * Man, I hate kids...
 * Damn hypocrite. Always talking about friendship, when you're nothing but a selfish loner.
 * About Zidane
 * Blind pursuit of power is a meaningless vice.
 * You're a real simpleton. Forget it, guys. There's no stopping this fool.
 * Referring to Zidane heading back to the Iifa Tree to rescue Kuja.

Freya Crescent

 * To be forgotten is worse than death.
 * I'm impressed. There's more to her than meets the eye.
 * About Garnet
 * The time has come to serve my kingdom as a Burmecian Dragon Knight once again!
 * The answer you seek may forever change your life for the worse.
 * to Vivi
 * I will protect my home and my king at any cost.
 * Fratley... You never came back... You've left me with nothing except rumors of your death. I couldn't believe it! I still won't believe it! Never. Not until I witness proof of your death with my own eyes. And I will travel across the world forever if I must...
 * I failed Burmecia.. but I won't fail Cleyra, no matter what.
 * The sky looks ominous. Something is about to happen. Sir Fratley, where are you...? I need you...
 * It's too late. He's gone... It's a miracle he even made it this far. I can't believe this is happening...
 * We live not to forget our past, but to learn from it!

Quina Quen

 * I do what I want! You have problem!?
 * Are there yummy-yummies here?
 * I go find yummy-yummies!
 * After Zidane, Vivi, and Freya leave Cleyra on floating orbs.
 * You stand here say nothing, then you just like other dummy-dummies! No can tell difference!
 * There no munchies here, sand taste good though.
 * I...so happy.
 * During his/her 'wedding' to Vivi.
 * Why you need Gil to eat anything!?
 * F-Frog... Is talking... Maybe I eat it...?
 * Is stone edible? Or is for barbeque? No answer... I think I lick it. You no answer, so you no mind, right? [licks it] Hmmm... Is very salty.
 * Now I mad! I cook you good!
 * Why you care about small things? World very simple place. World only have two things: Things you can eat and things you no can eat.
 * Fish all gone. I sad...
 * Good food not only delicious! Good food made with heart! This very important when cooking for friends!

Eiko Carol

 * I don't wanna be alone anymore...
 * Mog... I'm gonna haunt you if I die here!
 * When she gets her shirt stuck on a tree branch and Mog flies away.
 * Listen to me. You should never lie to yourself.
 * This is no way to treat a lady!
 * Said several times throughout the game when she feels she's being mistreated.
 * I'm not gonna cry! I'm a grown-up now, and crying won't help one bit!
 * With Dagger out of the picture, now's my chance to win Zidane's heart! First, I'll write him a love letter. I'm gonna make it the most romantic letter ever written!
 * When the night sky wears the moon as its pendant, I shall await you at the dock.
 * Her love letter to Zidane.
 * Oh! It's the nerdy guy!
 * to Doctor Tot

Kuja

 * I find this rain quite pleasant. It is as if the raindrops are blessing our victory.
 * Never would I have imagined running into you in a place like this. It must be fate. But you cannot rest your wings yet... Fly home to your mother, my little canary. I, too, will welcome you home with open arms.
 * The weak lose their freedom to the strong. Such is the way of the strong. And it is the providence of nature that only the strong survive. That is why I needed strength.
 * First, you don't want to listen, now you start asking questions? Oh, brother...
 * Spare me the lecture. Lives come and go all the time. What's the big deal?
 * Mwahaha... So the curtain rises! Perfect, my canary. Let me show you the truth about your mother! First Act: The End of the Ugly Desire. It's showtime!
 * The final act will take us away from Gaia, and I will kill my nemesis... with my own hand! Hahaha! Everything is according to plan.
 * Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget its painful past... Though we hope for promising years. After shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears. And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue.
 * Just you wait, Garland! And you too, Zidane! I'll exact sweet revenge upon you both for insulting me! I'll make the people of both Gaia and Terra know who rules over all of them!
 * What comedy! Zidane, isn't it hilarious!? I'll die just like the black mages I so despise! I single-handedly brought chaos unto Gaia, but in the end, I'm nothing but a worthless doll! ... I won't let it happen. I won't... I won't let this world exist without me!
 * The Canary I have been after, she flew into my cage of her own free will.
 * My sweet angel, come to me. I will take you to a world of dreams.
 * Why should the world exist without me? That wouldn't be fair. If I die, we all die!
 * I'm gonna die anyway. I won't have to be afraid anymore. But I'm not gonna die alone. You're all coming with me!
 * After you guys beat me, I had nothing left... nothing more to lose. Then, I finally realized what it means to live... I guess I was too late.

Beatrix

 * I once killed a hundred knights single-handedly... To me, you two are nothing more than insects.
 * I commend your courage, but I shall show you no mercy.
 * Allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur.
 * We're all just blindly following orders. My heart and my will mean nothing...
 * Not even a word of gratitude...
 * After Brahne orders her to find the next jewel after she worked very hard on getting the first one from Cleyra.
 * ...My heart is set. All this time, I have been mistaken...
 * My allegiance to you remains the same, if not stronger.
 * Save your valediction, Steiner. We will live to see another day.

Black Mage no. 288

 * [to Vivi] You already know what it means to live...and to die. You're asking about our friends who have 'died', not 'stopped'.
 * I don' t know... Fear? I don't want to stop. And maybe I want to run away from it all. But living in the village with everyone fills me with joy. The joy of living with them far outweighs the fear of death. Isn't it the same for you? Traveling with your friends gives your life meaning.
 * When asked how he feels about "Stopping".

Other
Thorn: Trouble we are in!
 * Zorn: We are in trouble!
 * Zorn: A veritable emergency of terrible urgency!
 * Reference to the song "Urgent Emergency" by Foreigner.
 * Moguta: I'm kupo for kupo nuts!
 * Reference to a tagline of Coco Puffs cereal.
 * Cinna: Oh yeah! You're one bad actor.
 * to Steiner
 * Puck: Like hell, I'm fine!!!
 * Villagers of Conde Petie: Rally-ho!
 * Queen Brahne: I... I am empty now... Free... Free... of that... terrible... greed...
 * One of Brahne's last lines.
 * Blank: I'm telling you, she was too shy to hand me the letter herself! And if you don't think I'm a ladies' man, you're wrong. Chicks are intimidated by good-looking guys.
 * Old Man: Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker. Ask someone else!
 * When inquired about potions, a reference to Leonard McCoy in Star Trek: The Original Series.
 * Mog: [to Eiko] Don't worry, kupo. I will always be with you, kupo.
 * Black Mage No. 78: I never knew weapons were used to hurt people. But we have magic. Why would we need weapons? Do you think weapons will disappear when everyone is happy? Does that mean we wouldn't need magic, either?
 * Garland: ...Do not limit memory to just one individual's experiences from birth. That is only the surface. Every life born into this world, whether natural or artificial, requires a parent. And that parent also requires a parent. Life is connected, one to another... If you trace the root of all life, there exists one source. The same can be said for memory. All life constitutes an intelligence that holds memory beyond experience. Memory is not isolated within individuals. It is an accumulation of generations of memories that continues to evolve. You can say that memory and evolution go hand in hand. But most life-forms do not understand the true nature of memories ... which explains why most memories never cross paths.
 * Garland: Even if I were created to serve one purpose alone, I do not regret being born to this world.
 * Necron: Why defy your fate? Is the will to live that powerful...?
 * Necron: I am the darkness of eternity...
 * Necron: All life fears death from birth. Life fears death, but lives only to die. It starts with anxiety. Anxiety becomes fear. Fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering... The only cure for this fear is total destruction. ... Now, the theory is undeniable. Kuja's action proves it. All things live to perish.
 * Contains a reference to one of Yoda's lines from The Phantom Menace.
 * Necron: In a world of nothing, fear does not exist. This is the world that all life desires.
 * Necron: I am eternal... ...as long as there is life and death...
 * Necron: Come. Enter the Zero World you so desire.
 * Marcus: No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!
 * An in-joke reference to the heroes of two previous Final Fantasy games, Cloud Strife and Squall Leonhart.

Dialogue

 * [changing into stolen soldiers' uniforms]
 * Blank: Finished changing, Zidane?
 * Zidane: Yeah, but this helmet... It kinda smells...
 * Blank: What are you talkin' about!? My helmet totally reeks! My armor's way too big...and my back's real itchy...the boots are wet...my gloves are all slimy...there's cookie crumbs in my pocket...
 * Zidane: Okay, I get the picture.

 * Hooded Girl: Umm... Would you please let me pass?
 * Zidane: Hmm... Let's see...
 * Hooded Girl: Is there something on my face?
 * Zidane: Oh, no. You see... I just thought maybe you were the one I'd been waiting for all this time.
 * Hooded Girl: Excuse me? You were waiting for me?
 * Zidane: Yeah! I've dreamt of meeting you here ever since I was born!
 * Hooded Girl: Do you mock me?
 * Zidane: No, of course not...
 * Hooded Girl: Then, I shall take my leave of you!
 * Zidane: Just a sec! Haven't we met before?
 * Hooded Girl: No, I do not know you...
 * Zidane: Hmm... Maybe you're right... I'd never let someone as pretty as you get away. Say, you wouldn't–
 * Blank: Hey, what's goin' on, Zidane?
 * Hooded Girl: I... I must go!
 * Blank: Who the heck was that!?
 * Zidane: Get up, Blank! That was Princess Garnet!

 * Zidane: Don't worry, Princess. It's my friend Cinna!
 * Garnet: Oh, really? I am sorry. You startled me.
 * Zidane: Well, with a face like his, I'd be pretty shocked, too!
 * Cinna: Man, that hurts! I wash up every morning, you know!

 * Zidane: Try to sound more casual. Like me.
 * Garnet: I shall try.
 * Zidane: No, no, no... (What would Vivi say...?)
 * Vivi: ?
 * Zidane: Just say... 'Alrighty.'
 * Garnet: A-Alrighty!
 * Zidane: You're getting the hang of it!

 * Morrid: Who decides right and wrong? You?
 * Steiner: Anyone can tell right from wrong.

 * [After First Battle With Black Waltz #3]
 * Steiner: Just how many Black Waltzes do we have to fight!? This is becoming ridiculous!
 * Zidane: I think that was the last one.
 * Steiner: How do you know!? Are you...!?
 * Zidane: He said 'Waltz', right? Don't you think No. 3 would be the last one?
 * Steiner: ?

 * Steiner: Master Vivi, why would those mages be the same as you? And why would it matter if they were...?
 * Zidane: Rusty's right! You're an individual, no matter what happens, Vivi!

 * Woman at the counter: Hey, monkey-tail, you're disturbing the other customers.
 * Zidane: What the-you've got a tail, too, rat-face!
 * Woman at the counter: Rat-face... After I finish my drink, I'm gonna kick your butt.
 * Bobo: Hey, Zidane, take it outside.
 * [the woman turns around]
 * Zidane: !!!
 * Woman at the counter: Long time, Zidane.
 * Zidane: Hey! What's up!? Wait a minute...
 * Woman at the counter: You forgot my name?
 * Zidane: No, I remember! You're Helga, right?
 * Woman at the counter: Wrong.
 * Zidane: ...Christine?
 * Woman at the counter: No!
 * Zidane: ...Oh yeah! You used to live next door to me. How's it going...Ratchel? Man, you've really gotten...big.
 * Woman at the counter: You nasty little-
 * Zidane: Come on. I'm just kiddin'. You know I never forget a pretty girl's name.
 * (The player gets to name the woman, the default name is Freya)
 * Zidane: So, how've you been, Freya?
 * Freya: Same old, Zidane.
 * Zidane: How long has it been?
 * Freya: About 3 years.
 * Zidane: Hey, did you ever find out anything about your boyfriend?
 * Freya: No...
 * Zidane: So... What brings you to Lindblum?
 * Freya: The Festival of the Hunt. What else? It's a good opportunity to test my skills.
 * Zidane: Oh... Well, I'm sure you'll find him someday.
 * Freya: Aren't you participating?
 * Zidane: ...Nah. I think I'll pass.
 * Freya: Lazy bum.
 * Zidane: ...Are you ever gonna go back?
 * Freya: I have no reason to return to Burmecia. There is nothing there for me anymore.

 * Garnet: Would you mind giving me some [sleeping weed]? I've had a hard time sleeping lately.
 * Zidane: Um, I don't think that's a good idea. You might get addicted. Maybe all you need is some company, eh?
 * Garnet: Oh, please. Do you think I'm that naive?
 * Zidane: Heh, heh. Can't blame me for trying.

 * Freya: The smell of fire...and blood! There must have been a huge battle on the other side of that gate...
 * Quina: Something smell bad. I get bad feeling! Flower smell good! You smell flower!
 * Freya: Quina does whatever s/he feels like doing. I must learn from his ways.
 * Zidane: I don't think it's intentional, Freya.
 * Freya: No, if I had done as I pleased, I would've been...
 * Quina: Zidane, this flower taste good!
 * Zidane: See what I mean?
 * Freya: But still... Let's go! Burmecia is just ahead!

 * Dagger: Zidane... Vivi just walked out.
 * Zidane: Maybe he's letting us have a little romantic quiet time.
 * Dagger: I'm serious!
 * Zidane: ...I wouldn't worry too much.
 * Dagger: But...
 * Zidane: He's trying to figure something out for himself.
 * Dagger: ......
 * Zidane: Think about it... Vivi's never met black mages like himself before.
 * Dagger: But what if they're being mean to him, or saying nasty things?
 * Zidane: Do you really think the people of this village gathered to do something like that?
 * Dagger: ......
 * Zidane: Maybe... Just maybe, he'll find what he's looking for.
 * Dagger: ...Find what?
 * Zidane: A place to call home.
 * Dagger: Home...?
 * Zidane: Yeah... A place where he belongs...

 * [Zidane telling a story of his past...]
 * Zidane: Alright, we can skip ahead... No, he never found it. How could he? His only clue was a colored light. So he went back to the home of his adoptive father... What do you think his father did when he came home?
 * Dagger: Welcomed him home?
 * Zidane: No way! The father raised his fist and beat the son he had worked so hard to raise...

 * Zidane: (Could it be that she...likes me? Gotta admit, I was pretty deep that night in the black mage village. Maybe that's when she fell for me? I'm such a stud!) Dagger! Now we're man and wife! Time for the kiss... [Zidane lunges and misses as Dagger walks away] Playing hard to get, eh?
 * [...]
 * Dagger: Remember, we're only married while we're here.
 * Zidane: Bliss is so fleeting.

 * Dagger: I haven't forgotten... I want to believe everyone is alright, but sometimes I just can't. I hope I can live up to the hopes of everyone who has helped me.
 * Zidane: You don't have to feel so responsible, Dagger.
 * Dagger: But I do!
 * Zidane: Nobody wants you to feel that way. They didn't do it all for you, either. Each was following his own path.

 * [Zidane telling the story of Ipsen and Colin...]
 * Zidane: And then, after much time on the road... He had to ask Colin something. "Why did you come with me?"
 * Dagger: And? What was Colin's answer?
 * Zidane: Only because I wanted to go with you.

 * Amarant: He who hesitates is lost." You'd best remember that.
 * Zidane: Well, I prefer "My way or the highway".
 * Amarant: Whatever. Like you actually have a plan.

 * [after Steiner throws Eiko out of the castle...]
 * Eiko: Zidane! Oh, it was horrible! He called me a liar and a loudmouth and a brat!
 * Amarant: ...He's right.

<hr width=50%/>
 * Eiko: My grandpa always told me that bullies are actually cowards.
 * Amarant: Just leave me alone...

<hr width=50%/>
 * Zidane: Man, we went through some crazy stuff, huh? I honestly didn't think I was gonna make it this time. But as you can see, I'm alright now.
 * Dagger: ......
 * Zidane: Dagger... Is something wrong?
 * Dagger: [shakes her head] ......
 * Zidane: Ohhh, okay. You're so happy to see me, you don't know what to say. I didn't know you loved me so much. (Did I do something wrong...?) Alright, what did I do wrong?
 * Dagger: [shakes her head] ......
 * Zidane: (...Maybe she's just tired. A lot had happened since Brahne's death... I'd better cheer her up.) Hey, let's go check out the town. It'll be fun. Come on!
 * Dagger: [hangs her head] ......
 * Zidane: (...I think she's starting to get annoyed. Maybe I should leave her alone.) I guess you have a lot on your mind right now. Sorry to bother you. I'll see you later.
 * Dagger: (Zidane... You're so sweet. Thank you.)

<hr width=50%/>
 * Eiko: What are you gonna do?
 * Zidane: Find Kuja and beat the crap out of him!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Quina: Ah, Zidane. You want go with me!
 * Zidane: Well... I sort of got stuck with the leftovers...
 * Quina: You no have to explain! I so happy.
 * Zidane: Huh?
 * Quina: There old saying in my tribe... 'Leftovers good!'

<hr width=50%/>
 * Zidane: Hey, Amarant... Can I ask you something?
 * Amarant: No.
 * Zidane: Do you... have any parents or family?
 * Amarant: What a stupid question.
 * Zidane: Sorry. I was just curious.
 * Amarant: I don't remember any loving parents. My first memory is of the face of a guy I had to fight. I only found meaning in life through combat.
 * Zidane: Funny how you put that in past tense. All due to my wonderful influence.
 * Amarant: Pshhh. What do you want me to do? Thank you?
 * Zidane: Please! You're gonna make me sick!
 * Amarant: How about you?
 * Zidane: What? You mean my parents? ...I don't have parents.

<hr width=50%/>
 * Garland: Well... now you should be fully aware of the meaning of your existence... !?
 * Zidane: Yeah, I'm aware of all the laughter, all the tears I've shared with the people I grew up with on Gaia.
 * Garland: Forget all that. You are destined to live among the stars for all eternity. You have the power, the position, and the motive to do it.
 * Zidane: I wouldn't want that kind of power... if I only had a place to call home... My brothers in Tantalus, Vivi, Freya, Amarant, Quina, Steiner, Eiko, and... Dagger... My home is with them in Gaia! If you say I have a motive, then it's to punish all of you who brought pain to my friends! I'll destroy Terra! That's reason enough for my birth here as a Genome!
 * Garland: Regrettable... I thought your soul would be perfect for a new angel of death...
 * Zidane: I AM the new angel of death! Yours!!!

<hr width=50%/>
 * Dagger: You try to do everything by yourself, don't you?
 * Zidane: Try to understand... I don't want to cause trouble to anyone.
 * Dagger: Aren't we your friends!?
 * Zidane: I want to think so! That's why I always... Look, I'm not from Gaia. I was just a hairbreadth from becoming the destroyer of Alexandria! I can't accept your friendship so easily!
 * Dagger: You've always protected us. But you still don't understand that we looked out for you, too! We watched your back while you watched ours. And we believed in you the same way you believed in us! Just like you protected us... We want to protect you.
 * Zidane: Dagger...
 * Quina: You say it! My master tell me, somebody give you tasties, you give them tasties, too. Is good manners!

<hr width=50%/>
 * [After the Genomes take refuge at the Black Mage Village.]
 * Mikoto: This where you bury the dead...? What's the point of this? It isn't like the dead would appreciate it.
 * Black Mage no. 288: You're right, but I don't think we build cemeteries for the dead. Sure, it may seem pointless to you, but... How can I describe it? It's so that we can think like this: "We'll never forget you. We'll remember you every time we stand at your grave. And we won't let the fear of death, which each of us knows, stop us from living our lives. Because my friends will remember me when I'm here".
 * Mikoto: ...

<hr width=50%/>
 * Steiner: Red Rose!? Could it be...Beatrix!?
 * Zidane: Quite a woman, you fell in love with!
 * Steiner: You're one to talk!
 * Dagger: Wait a minute, Steiner! What did you mean by that!?

<hr width=50%/>
 * [Last lines of displayed dialogue]
 * Garnet: How did you survive...?
 * Zidane: I didn't have a choice. I had to live. I wanted to come home to you. So... I sang your song.
 * Garnet: Our song.

Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound (October 30, 1885 – November 1, 1972) was an American expatriate poet, musician and critic who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in early to mid-20th century poetry. He was the driving force behind several Modernist movements including Imagism and Vorticism.

Quotes

 * Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions. If one has a mind which inclines to magic rather than science, one will prefer to speak of these equations as spells or incantations; it sounds more arcane, mysterious, recondite.

 * The author's conviction on this day of the New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music.
 * Preface

 * Literature is news that STAYS news.
 * Ch. 2 (p. 29 in the 1961 paperback)

 * Any general statement is like a cheque drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it.
 * p. 25

 * The man of understanding can no more sit quiet and resigned while his country lets literature decay than a good doctor could sit quiet and contented while some ignorant child was infecting itself with tuberculosis under the impression that it was merely eating jam tarts.
 * p. 33

 * Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear.
 * Chapter 3

 * AT ABOUT THIS POINT the weak-hearted reader usually sits down in the road, removes his shoes and weeps that he 'is a bad linguist' or that he or she can't possibly learn all those languages. One has to divide the readers who want to be experts from those who do not, and divide, as it were, those who want to see the world from those who merely want to know WHAT PART OF IT THEY LIVE IN.
 * p. 42

 * Real education must ultimately be limited to one who INSISTS on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding.
 * Ch. 8

Quotes about Ezra Pound

 * My early identity and love poems were influenced by the imagism of Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams.
 * Marilyn Chin Preface to A Portrait of the Self as Nation: New and Selected Poems (2018)

 * Chinese poetry, as we know it today, is something invented by Ezra Pound.
 * T. S. Eliot, Preface to Pound's Selected Poems (1928). See Cathay.

 * Personally I admire several writers (Céline, for instance) who have gone over to the Fascists, and many others whose political outlook I strongly object to. But one has the right to expect ordinary decency of a poet. I never listened to Pound’s broadcasts, but I often read them in the B.B.C. Monitoring Reports, and they were intellectually and morally disgusting. Antisemitism, for instance, is simply not the doctrine of a grown-up person. People who go in for that kind of thing must take the consequences.
 * George Orwell, As I Please

 * I have been very excited by Ezra Pound's work with Chinese. People don't realize how much of Chinese culture is part of American culture. I mean, all those transcendentalists at the beginning of American writing.
 * 1986 interview in Conversations with Maxine Hong Kingston (1998)

 * A musician once asked Ezra Pound if there was anywhere one could get all of poetry, in the sense that one could get all of music in Bach. Pound's response was that if a person would take the trouble really to learn Greek, he could get all of it, or nearly all of it, in Homer.
 * Stanley Lombardo, Iliad (Hackett Publishing Company, 1997), Translator's Preface.

 * Most of the great critics of English poetry have also been poets: Sir Philip Sidney, Samuel Johnson, Coleridge, Shelley, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound, to name a few.
 * Alicia Ostriker Interview

 * Pound's ideas about Russian communism developed in two directions. First, he felt that there were basic similarities between the Russian and the fascist revolutions. Second, he felt a great deal of admiration for Lenin as a man of action in the mold of his hero, Mussolini (this was not an entirely accidental comparison, for the contemporary figure most admired by Mussolini was Lenin).
 * Tim Redman, Ezra Pound and Italian Fascism (Cambridge University Press, 1991), p. 108.

Talk:Sinclair Lewis

I've been reading Babbit, and this quote, "In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman." Is straight of it. I do not believe it should be attributed to Lewis, however, as it was said by a character who was meant to be a caricature of an American businessman, therefore, I am removing this quote from the "attributed" section, as I do not believe it represents the beliefs of Sinclair Lewis.

Fascism quote
I added the quote to the attributed section: "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." This is showing up on bumper stickers and on the web in "signature" files. No source given. An example is at:  and similar stickers can be found at places selling customized stickers mugs etc. I am a bit dubious of this attribution, but it does seem to be somewhat widespread. It also seems to be a variant of the quote by Huey P. Long found on the Fascism subject page, but also not sourced and also not found on the Huey P. Long person page. "When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in an American flag." Oswald Glinkmeyer 14:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It appears to come from Lewis' 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here".68.20.216.193 11:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)The Sinclair Lewis Society has been wrestling with this for years and I received several phone calls during the last presidential election campaign. This quote sounds like something Sinclair Lewis might have said or written, but the Sinclair Lewis Society has never been able to find this exact quote although we've been asked a number of times.

Here are passages from two books Lewis wrote that at least hint at the quote attributed to him. From It Can't Happen Here: "But he saw too that in America the struggle was befogged by the fact that the worst Fascists were they who disowned the word 'Fascism' and preached enslavement to Capitalism under the style of Constitutional and Traditional Native American Liberty." From Gideon Planish: "I just wish people wouldn't quote Lincoln or the Bible, or hang out the flag or the cross, to cover up something that belongs more to the bank-book and the three golden balls." There was also a play called Strangers in the late 1970s which had a similar quote, but no one, including one of Lewis’s biographers, Richard Lingeman, has ever been able to locate the quote.
 * Full text of that book here. No sign of it.

 * That quote captures the general idea of the book, but it's falsely attributed. --208.120.102.234 03:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Sinclair Lewis. --Antiquary 15:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Advertising is a valuable economic factor because it is the cheapest way of selling goods, particularly if the goods are worthless.

 * He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.

 * I can not understand why ministers presume to deliver sermons every week at appointed hours because it is humanly impossible for inspirations to come with clock-like regularity.

 * In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.

 * Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.

 * Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.

 * People will buy anything that is 'one to a customer.'

 * Pugnacity is a form of courage, but a very bad form.

 * The middle class, that prisoner of the barbarian 20th century.

 * There are dozens of young poets and fictioneers— most of them a little insane in the tradition of James Joyce, who, however insane they may be, have refused to be genteel and traditional and dull.

 * There are two insults no human will endure. The assertion that he has no sense of humor and the doubly impertinent assertion that he has never known trouble.
 * Variant: There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.

 * We have the power to bore people long after we are dead.

 * Whatever poet, orator or sage may say of it, old age is still old age.

 * When audiences come to see us authors lecture, it is largely in the hope that we'll be funnier to look at than to read.

 * When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
 * A variation on quote attributed to Huey Long.

 * Winter is not a season, it's an occupation..

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 Mrgah. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mrgah~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 23:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Poets who are not interested in music are, or become, bad poets.

 * Where is what I loved?

why is that absurd ginsberg lie of a quote on here?
That's like a big fat guy having a healthy guy say his worst mistake was not being a big fat guy.

 * In this anti-fascist culture everything revolves around such issues. Poets who were admitted Marxists are treated very differently.

There must be literally hundreds of thousands of academic professionals with at least these qualifications. Besides, the content suggests that a student attending a single class is trying to mock the professor with mostly inane quotes. Mocking the famous with their own words is fair game, but doing it to non-notable folks is just a mean kind of vanity. Without better notability evidence and no way to verify the quotes, I see no reason to have this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. As I implied in the "Carolyn Crouch" VFD entry, a handful of publications is practically a requirement for university professors, most of whom aren't typically considered notable enough for WQ articles. However, I might be persuaded if the existing quote is sourced (maybe from one of the publications cited on the Self-Determination Theory website?), more quotes are added, and (especially) a Wikipedia article is created that the WP crowd finds notable enough to retain. If this last step is in progress, I'd be willing to extend the vote a few weeks to see how things pan out. (But article promoters should expect me to nominate the WP article for AFD [articles for deletion] to encourage WP editors to consider the matter thoughtfully, so the other evidence is highly recommended.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Invader Zim

Hi zim

Character List
The fist time a character appears in an episode, it should be be a link to it's respective article on Wikipedia. If you don't know how to do this, I've included all the ones currently used in the article here. If you know of a character that isn't here but should be, or a new character article is made, please add it to the list here.

 * Zim
 * GIR
 * Dib
 * Gaz
 * Tak
 * Prof. Membrane
 * Ms. Bitters
 * Tallest Purple
 * Tallest Red

To use these links, simply put them in place of the character's name the first time they appear in any episode, between the bold format marks ( ''' ). Also, if a later quote by the character has a link to it's page as well, change it so that it doesn't link. ONLY the first time a character appears in each section should be linked.

Formatting
Episodes do not have season/number information, links to tv.com in title, dialogue formatting not as recommended by Templates/TV shows or the GtL ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I think it's fixed now, yes? - MJMyers2 03:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Close (and nice work). Quotations are still not seperated by half-rules (  ), there is no introduction (a few sentences at the beginning), nor an external links section at the bottom with a wikipedia box. The context lines are surrounded by {} rather than [], and are not italicized. Thanks! ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:47, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, quotations are formatted with no indent and with br, unlike the recommended format. You need something like

 * Gir: Lalalaa
 * Zim: Lololo

 * Rather than

Gir: Lalalaa Zim: Lololo

 * Thanks again ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:51, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Context lines are not italicized ("[does something]" rather than "[does something]")
 * Still no introduction (that's a biggie! "Have an introduction" is one of the main Wikiquote guidelines)
 * Seperator uses width="75%" and not width="50%" for some reason
 * There is a lot of extra vertical whitespace (two consecutive empty rows create this, which looks unclean)
 * Still no "External links" section at the bottom with a wikipedia box.
 * The TV formatting guidelines are among the most complicated, because unfortunately the MediaWiki formatting tools are not well suited to it, and it takes a bit of time to get used to them. Thanks again for all the cleanup work! This article looks much better than it used to. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 03:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

How 'bout now? Is it good enough for you??? Huh?! HUH!?! - MJMyers2 22:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Wonderful work! I edited it a bit: I removed the TOCLeft and shortened the introduction a little bit (usually 2-3 sentences of highly wikified text is considered best) as well as changed one left over 75% rule. Thanks again for your careful formatting. I've now removed the cleanup tag from the article. If you feel like working more on the page, there are quotations which should be merged to this article in the If you got some new quotes please add em just above here. they'll be classified in the upper section after article (it was a sad choice by some editor which led some new users to add quotations to this article). I am happy to see an article move to be one of the best examples of articles here. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * One of the best? My modest self says its the best. - MJMyers2 17:50, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, I would say that Firefly and Buffy are still better... ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 18:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * They're just longer is all, and Invader Zim needs no fancy table!!! - MJMyers2 18:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I added the quotes from the the horribly titled page. How do I delete it? - MJMyers2 17:43, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, usually there's no need to delete: I just changed the page to redirect to this page. It won't be listed in any list of pages, and any links to it will automatically arrive here. You could VFD it, but I doubt there's need. Also, please note that when merging pages, you should copy the history to the talk page. I already did so here, but just for future reference. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 18:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Liking pages
Hey, do you actually like Invader Zim, or do you just mark pages up for formatting? - MJMyers2 01:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I've never seen an ep of Invader ZIM. It's on my TODO list. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It's sad... you don't even know what you're missing... - MJMyers2 12:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. You lied to me!!! Watching IZ is not on your TODO list! How could you?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!!?!!?!??!!?!??!????!?!?!!!??!?!?!!!!!?!!!?

 * My personal TODO list is not kept on Wikiquote, only Wikiquote stuff. Watching TV is not wikiquote stuff :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:26, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

"Cancelled episodes" section
I've removed the "Cancelled episodes" section because there's reliable source available to verify the quotes. The only result in a search for one of the quotes was a script on "The Scary Monkey Show", which isn't a reliable source for the purposes of adding quotes that cannot otherwise be verified. Here is the content of the section, should anyone be able to find such a source:

Day of Da Spookies

 * Zim: It is I, the legendary BIGFEETS!

 * Dib: BIGFEETS! I knew you were real!

What?! No BIGFEETS!? IT WAS ALL A LIE! I've been wrong all along. Wrong about everything. Now I will stop hunting ZIM!

The Trial

 * Zim:MY TALLEST! This really IS a surprise

party! You honor me deep in the most wobbly, gelatinous parts of my squeedlyspooch!

This needs some cleanup if it's ever re-added. —LrdChaos 14:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there are certain cancelled episodes where the voicing is on the DVD box set. I have the DVD's. I'll listen to the audio and add any quotes that are worth adding. MJMyers2 23:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Missing episode
Is it just me or is the episode 'Abducted' is missing ?
 * There are a couple of episodes that are "missing" (for example, "A Room with a Moose" and "Hamstergeddon". You can generally tell from the numbering that some episodes are missing (the numbers in brackets after each episode title have some gaps), and this is usually just because no one has added quotes from these episodes yet. If you know any, feel free to add them yourself; it may be a while before I have a chance to watch the show again to fill in some of the gaps. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I have just put in the Episode Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom and I am working on getting the stuff together to do the others that are missing. I will probably have Hamstergeddon up by Dec. 3 06. I am also thinking of linking each main section of quotes to their respective pages on wikipedia. Put something on my talk page if you have suggestions. -doughmuffins|talk

Additional quote from "Gir goes crazy and stuff"
I was hoping someone with access to episodes could tell me a quote that I need for a top secret project. I am making a super-secret-squirrel sign with the Gir quote that goes something like: "Your ...Is stupid! Your methods...are STUPID!  Your intelligence...IS STUPID!!  Thank you for your time, I am unable to look this up myself due to being in Iraq an' all.  Sucks.

>>... btw. trying to pass off a new designation as a typo is not very honost

YES, and so is demonizing a resistince movement in a supposedly 'educational site'. BTW, I'm not native english speaker and thought the typo means 'small error'. Moh

 * Well it wasn't me who described it as a "terrorist organisation". I hope we can agree on simply takeing the designation from Wikipedia proper. Rune X2 22:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree. No problem with that. Thanx.

general observation
Are these kinds of quotes in this kind of profusion really important or necessary? I mean, who's going to care?

Cleanup
Intro too short, episode titles not italic, no episode numbers. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

 * RayaruB added an intro and reformatted the episode titles. I replaced the episode codes (production numbers?) with the current Wikiquote-standard "[Season.EpNum]" format and sorted the episodes based on these numbers. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:19, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Copyright Clean-up
As part of the Copyright Cleanup Project to avoid violation of copyright laws, this article has been trimmed to its limit of no more than 5 medium-sized quotes per hour long episode. The first episode of the series, which runs two hours with commercials, is allowed a maximum of 10 quotes. If you would like to add another quote to an existing episode which already has 5 quotes, you must first remove one from that episode. Additions for new episodes should follow these guidelines. Wikiquote's copyright guidlines can be found here and current policy here. -Sketchmoose 17:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Appeal to quotation limits
I make this appeal (per WQ:LOQ) for the article to be exempted from quote guideline limits. The reason being because I believe that Monk as a whole has quite a lot of memorable moments. But every time I add these moments in quotes, someone has to remove them due to the guidelines. I add them back in, they remove them again, and it sort of turns into an edit war.

Hence I request the article be exempted from the quotation limits. The request also becomes because some of these lines are purely classic and very memorable.

DReifGalaxyM31 03:40, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

This is the largest article on wikiquote by a significant amount.
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:LongPages This NEEDS trimming - it seriously breaches copyright, and it's far too long.

Hi. I reverted your changes to Glengarry Glen Ross (film) since they do not comply with the recommended guidelines for film articles. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
