Murray the Talking Skull: You may call me 'Murray'! I am a powerful demonic force! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I stride through the Gates of Hell – carrying your head on a pike!
Guybrush: "Stride"?
Murray: All right then, roll! Roll through the Gates of Hell! Must you take the fun out of everything?
(The Curse of Monkey Island)

Guybrush: If I gave you your arm back, what would you do with it?
Murray: I'd terrorize the South Seas! I'd torture the living! I'd demolish the...er...what I meant to say was, I'd use it to pet kittens.
Guybrush: Nope. You blew it.
Murray: Drat.
(The Curse of Monkey Island)

Guybrush: What do you know about lifting voodoo curses?
Murray: Oh sure. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull, hanging on a spike, in the middle of a swamp!
Guybrush: You sound bitter.
Murray: I'm sorry, it's been a rough day.
(The Curse of Monkey Island)

Let's face it, LeChuck. You are an evil, foul-smelling, vile, codependent villain and that's just not what I'm looking for in a romantic relationship right now.

Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.

That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... take it back!

Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to.
Squall (Final Fantasy VIII)

Am I that untrusting...? Maybe I'm this way because I'm scared. Nothing lasts in this world. It feels great to have friends who believe in you, and adults you can rely on. That's why it's so dangerous, especially if you become used to it. Someday you're bound to lose everything. Everybody around you will be gone. Then what are you left with? Nothing. Nobody... It's so miserable. And it's inevitable. It's so hard to recover from something like that. I never ever want to deal with that again. I can't. Even if it means being alone...
Squall (Final Fantasy VIII)

Sometimes you can't think everything out. You have to listen to your heart.

Things have a way of working out. You do not need to worry so much.
Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)

Is there anyone who is almost dead, with no arms and legs, or in need of an abdominal operation!? No one...? Well that's depressing...
Nurse (Xenogears)

I thought I didn't have a path that I could take laid out before me. But like he said, that's just running away. I must find my own path.
Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)

God could have created humans perfectly... But then, humans would not have helped each other... So that is what these great single-winged angels symbolizes... In order to fly, they are dependent on one another.
Margie (Xenogears)

Writhe! Dance!! Die and rot in obscurity here!
Elly (Xenogears)

Somehow, I get the feeling that all I've done I did because I wanted to be needed. That if I did something for them... then maybe, I'd have a place to belong... There's a side of me that comforts itself like that. That doesn't mean I don't want to help. But, that doesn't mean I really want to help either.
Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)

Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone wants to be needed at times. All of us want to give something inside ourselves to others to be accepted.

You probably think it's a wee bit peculiar having a beer hall right next to the bridge, but tis fine by me. If you don't take time in life to enjoy a drink, you will be swallowed by the waves of anxiety... ... But we don't have that problem. Thanks to this beer hall, everyone here is too sloshed to worry!
Captain of the Thames (Xenogears)

All of you, want to be loved... needed by someone, so we look to others... By ourselves, we are lonely, so we try to draw close together to live... That's what it means to be human... That's how people live. A single hand cannot clap.
Elly/Sophia (Xenogears)

Sophia... Please guide me...I will destroy all such false pretenses of love, for you...
Krelian (Xenogears)

Why such reluctance to become one with the god? What attachment could you possibly have to this wretched old world? What meaning can be found in living out such a short existence... hurting others, hurting yourself, grinding one another down... only to inevitably die and return to dust? Why, everything we could ever desire is here... No need to be troubled by the need for love... For this place is filled with the love of God.
Krelian (Xenogears)

Humans will never come to understand each other. You said that she is the person you love. But can you say that you even truly understand each other? All humans do is place themselves at a comfortable distance from each other and call that 'mutual understanding', 'spiritual unity', or 'true love'... but it is all lies! Man cannot associate with others without first deceiving themselves. That is the way that they were created.
Krelian (Xenogears)

It's something I've already decided. I go to walk with God. Even if there is no place left for me upon my return.
Krelian (Xenogears)

Ansem: All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.
Sora: That's not true! The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!
(Kingdom Hearts)
