Fate/stay night quotes

I don't mind losing to someone, but I won't be beaten by myself.

Even if I could redo the past, I must not take back what has already happened, because if I do that, everything would be a lie: those tears, that pain, those memories, that cold reality that hurts my heart, all of it. There were people who died in pain. There were people who risked their lives to save others. There were people who mourned for the deaths. But then, if everything were taken back and it did not happen, where would all of those go? The dead people would not come back. Reality cannot be overturned. To continue on remembering the pain and the weight… isn't that how lost things remain? People will eventually die and death itself is sad, but pain shouldn't be the only thing that remains. A death is painful, but it also leaves behind bright memories. As I am bound by these people's deaths… As I am protected by my memories of Kiritsugu... I believe memories become constraints and change the people living now... Even if... They are memories that will eventually be forgotten.

I can't stray from my path for those I've left behind.

[To Gilgamesh] That's right. I don't create swords. I create a world that contains infinite swords. This is the only magic allowed for me. There's no need to be surprised. These are all imitations. As you say, these are all trifling swords. But there is no rule that says an imitation cannot defeat the original. If you say you are the original, I will surpass every one of your weapons and destroy your existence. Here I come, King of Heroes! Do you have enough swords in stock?

Blue sky is in the distance. It feels so close. Yet, I cannot grab it even if I reach out with my hands. I looked up at the stars before. The stars that I cannot reach and the wishes that will not be granted. There is nothing we have been able to leave behind for each other. Therefore, traces and memories will disappear someday. But still... Even if it will not reach her, there should be something that will remain in our hearts. There is nothing that remains in our hands, but we lived the same time and looked up at the same things. If I can remember that. I can believe that we can be together even if we are far apart.

That is why I will keep running for now. If I aim for the distance, there should come a day when I would be able to reach out to what I have been aiming for.

I can't lose against myself. There's no element that would make me lose if our powers are equal. To admit defeat against such an enemy is to declare that I'm wrong.

What's past is past. I cannot redo it, nor go back to it. I have escaped from that scene and still continue to live. All I can do is look forward.

If you have a wish, don't go back to the past and redo everything. If you want to change yourself, don't change the past, but change who you are now!

I don't have any wishes that won't come true or that are impossible. Because if it's a dream I can't reach by myself, I won't even dream it in the first place.

I don't want to regret anything. I want to make all the tragedies that happened into meaningful things by believing that my path is right.

If you walk down the path that you believe is right, you cannot be wrong.

Maybe I got something wrong, but it doesn't matter because the thought of wanting to help others definitely isn't wrong.

...She's scary. People who can put on a serious face while joking are the scariest.

...Yes, the desire to protect something... is, at the same time, none other than the wish for something to violate it.

People die when they are killed.

The weakness that had accepted death now became the strength of wanting to live.

Do you have enough swords, King of Heroes?

But that's enough. If there is overwhelming power and speed, there is no room for technique. Techniques are something humans invented to compensate for their weaknesses.

My goal is so far away that I'm not even on the starting line yet.

Someday, my memories of her will fade. Her voice, her actions – I might forget them as well. But even then, I will always remember that I loved her.

I'm home. What, are you greeting me in an apron? You look pretty good in it.

It feels so close to me, yet I can't reach it even if I hold out my hands. But even if I can't reach it, there are things that will stay in my heart. Being in the same time and looking at the same sky – if I can remember that, then even if we are far apart, I believe we can still be together.

I envy you people. What I sought, but could not obtain. What I obtained, but could not obtain. Many things slipped out between my fingers, no matter what commandment I used.

It is a simple story. There is nothing that brings me happiness. It does not matter, let it be believing in people or having people believe in me. What other people called happiness did not bring me any joy.

I want to know if it is a crime to live as you are, when you are different from others.

A certain scripture mentions that humans are superior to angels. Why? Because there are people who know of evil, but do not become evil. It's different from angels, who know only of good since birth. Humans have evil, but can live as good, so they are superior to angels, who know only good.

If there is a pure wish in this world, it must be the desire to be born.

People cannot change the past. All we can do, is accept our own actions. If you still wish to be burdened by your sins, let it show in your future actions. It is your choice how to perceive something that has already happened.

There are worthless things, but there are no meaningless things.

You should know. Your wish will not come true unless there is a clear evil. Even if it's not something you approve of, a hero of justice requires a villain to defeat.

It is the path you have chosen. Take pride in it.

Righteousness cannot save the world.

They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory.

Knights cannot save the world.

If I can, I'd prefer nobody to be sad.

I was reckless when I was young. I educated myself by cursing the heartlessness of the world. The world was cruel - so I made myself more heartless and used that as a weapon, trying to follow through on my ideals.

The result is the most important thing.

Saving someone means not saving someone else.

There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance.

Anything edible is acceptable. Extravagance is our enemy.

...a man without fear cannot be wise.

Hunger is the enemy.

It should be natural for you to drink until dawn with someone you get along with, even if he may be your enemy.

Heroes always die due to unreasonable orders.

---Well said. Then you can die first.

The storyteller may fall silent, the music may cease, but the story will not end. Be it tragedy or comedy, as long as there is applause, the story will not end. It is just like the multitude of human lives. Warm blessings to we who were not rewarded, and we who are still on our way. Our travels continue on.

Dreams are more beautiful if they stay as dreams.

If a couple curses stopped me, what kind of hero would I be?!

A lot of something is ugly in itself.

Those who aim further for other's sake. Those who think of others before themselves. ...And those who hate themselves more than anyone. These are the qualities of a Magus. This is a contradiction you can only have if you are born broken.

The world is just another word for the things you value around you, right? That's something I've had since I was born. If you tell me to rule such a world, I already rule it.

It is fine to assume that the Master's role is to support the battle from the back. But there are always exceptions. There are Masters who can only fight head on.
