Mobile Suit Gundam SEED quotes

This is a world where people’s hearts are filled with hatred... where fingers have no purpose other than to pull triggers.

No matter what we learn, no matter what we obtain, nothing ever changes! People are amazing that way! They become envious, hate each other, and destroy each other! If that's what they truly desire, why don't they simply exterminate each other!?

A path not chosen is the same as a path that never existed.

People like you walk your paths, believing that something you desire is waiting for you. I walk it to confirm that there is nothing there.

The final door is about to open! And I am the one opening it! Then the world that we know of will come to an end! This world of insatiable desires will end!

I'll give it a try. Anything that man can do, I'm sure I can do just as well.

It seems we have an unforseen problem. A rather annoying fly buzzing around.

You always seem to get in my way, Mu La Flaga. Though I imagine you'd say the same about me.

They thirsted for knowledge! They sought to fulfill their desires! And ultimately, they forgot why they were doing it. Even as they proclaimed their reverence for human life, they began toying with it, and then they began destroying it!

I am He, that arrogant fool who thought he could fool death itself with his money. Al Da Flaga, your father, but I am merely that man's defective clone.

I am the only one who's earned that right in the entire universe! I alone have the right to judge all of humanity!

Tell me, do you feel my presence? Do you sense it the same way that I sense yours? A rather unfortunate twist of fate, wouldn't you say... Mu La Flaga?

Nobody is ever born into this world as a soldier.

Do you think you can change what's going to happen? Nobody can do anything about it. The whirlpool of hatred is engulfing the universe!

Irony abounds in warfare.

If it's my fate to be shot down by you, I thought this place would be appropriate... However, it doesn't look like there's any chance of that happening. After all, how could the "child" ever hope to defeat the "parent"?

Aren't you the least bit curious? About the ultimate extent of humanity's insatiable desires? About the fools who pursued their insane dream in the name of progress? Because after all, Kira, you're a child of this too.

[To Kira] You are the dream of humanity, the Ultimate Coordinator. It was in pursuit of that dream that Dr. Hibiki created the artificial womb. And you are the only viable child it ever produced. For that result, a very large number of your siblings were sacrificed.

Mu, I'd actually be pleased if you'd vanish right about now!

You always seem to get in my way, Mu La Flaga! Though I imagine you would probably say the same about me!

[as he prepares to fire on the Eternal with Lacus Clyne on board] It's a shame really, I did enjoy your songs. But the real world isn't as kind as the one in pop songs!

[about Rau] But are you sure that's me? Oh well. He will be my successor in any case. Why should that woman's child be my heir? Keep a close eye on him and educate him well. Whatever you do, don't make him into another weakling.

Why torment yourself saying, "Eventually, someday?" How long have you been fighting with your thoughts clouded by that brand of sweet poison?

First you must decide, then you must follow through. I believe that’s the only way you can get anything accomplished.

My mother told me something long ago. She said “The world belongs to you just as much as you belong to the world”. For you were born and that gives you the right to exist.

Humans can possibly exist without actually having to fight. But, many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?

The choice we're making might be one of evil as well. For we call for peace, but with weapons in our hands. Nevertheless, allow us to break of endless conflict. Give us strength.

[to Athrun] What is it you believe in? What is it you're fighting for now? Is it for that medal you received? Or your father's orders?

But your kindess doesn't come from being a Coordinator... it's because of who you are Mr. Yamato

From now on, Lacus Clyne will be singing the song of peace.

Nicol was fifteen. He loved the piano and Kira just cut him down.

If you don’t do something because you think you can’t do it, you’ll never be able to do anything in the future.

I'm not defined by my abilities alone.

I may be able to operate the mobile suit... but that doesn't mean I know how to fight a battle!

What the hell can you hope to protect when your feelings are the only weapons you've got?

[Kira thinks he has just killed Andrew Waltfeld and cries] It didn't have to end like this.

If I have the power to make a difference, I should put it to good use.

What you say may be correct, that there is a war going on outside our world. But we don't agree with it! We dislike war! And that is why we chose to be here, in neutral territory!

There are things people can't accept, even if they do understand them.

Kira... fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals! Brilliant as he is, he is also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him, but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back! I have to reason with him! Kira is still a fellow Coordinator! I'm positive that he'll come around to our way of thinking.

Using a rescued civilian as a hostage? So do you still feel justified in fighting by their side with these cowards? Kira?

I can't exactly fight a war with a big smile on my face.

Kira... what are you thinking about, now?

Athrun Zala. Justice. Launching!

Athrun! Show us that same spirit that made you defy orders!

Trying to pilot that mobile suit? You're in way over your head, Natural!

It doesn't matter how good your armor is... if you can barely move!

Damn piece of Earth trash!

[to Athrun] I bet your head is like a hamster running in its wheel right about now.

I knew it. The Earth Forces' new mobile weapons. Father, I knew you'd betray us all!

One guy's killed for killing another and then he's killed for killing him. How is that kind of twisted thinking ever gonna bring us peace?

Seems appropriate for Nicol. A weapon fit for a coward.

I can't just quietly follow orders when it looks like all we're trying to do is wipe out every last Natural alive.

What a lovely voice! But I have to wonder though... is that voice a result of fiddling around with her genes?

You kids don't understand anything! By declaring that you're neutral and have nothing to do with this, you can still distance yourselves from what's happening? You don't really believe that, do you?

It's simple. Even a single Coordinator is a threat to the Earth's survival, and our goal here is to get rid of them all!

Why you little... nobody takes a shot at me!

What's so fun about firing at targets that aren't moving?

You're a monster who deserves to die, right here, with me.
