"Maybe I got something wrong, but it does…" — Emiya Shirou Quote

"Dreams are more beautiful if they stay as dreams."

— Fate/stay night · Fate/stay night

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

— Emiya Kiritsugu · Fate/stay night

"Righteousness cannot save the world."

— Emiya Kiritsugu · Fate/stay night

"Yes, I saw it over and over... Meaningless massacres. Meaningless suffering. Meaningless happiness! I was forced to watch it all. Even when I refused to look, it surrounded me. That isn't what I wished for! I didn't become a Guardian for this!"

— Archer · Fate/stay night

"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."

— Emiya Shirou · Fate/stay night

"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."
