"What you speak of at greatest length is …" — Gilgamesh Quote

"Do all of you really want... to win that badly? You all want the Grail that desperately?! You'd crush the only wish I have in my heart... do none of you feel any shame at all?! I won't forgive you... I? won't forgive ANY of you for this! All of you monsters who'd disregard a knight's honor for personal gain... let my blood taint your dreams! Let the Grail be cursed! Let the wish it grants bring disaster! And when you fall into the pits of hell... remember the rage of Diarmuid!"

"However, humans did not realize that truth no matter how high they staked their mountains of corpses. That's because in no matter what era the courageous and fearless great heroes have always bedazzled the eyes of the multitude with their splendid heroic legends. Because of the wistful actions of those idiots and their refusal to admit that bloodshed is by itself evil, the essence of humans has stayed on the same spot since the Stone Age!"

"A king without greed is even worse than a figurehead! Saber, you said you would become a martyr for your ideals. In life, you must have been a pure saint. A proud and noble figure, certainly. But who can truly admire the martyr's thorny path? Who dreams of such an ending? A king... The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration to be as the king is Proud king of chivalry... The righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However I'm certain you know what became of those who were saved but left to themselves. You saved them but you never led them. You never showed them what a king should be. You abandoned your men when they lost their way. Then alone and untroubled Thus you are no true king. You are only a little girl enraptured by a false idol of the king who serves others"

"Impossible, right? Compared to the enemy we're facing, you and I are the same, no more than dots! What's the point in comparing our heights? That is what makes this exciting! The smallest, the weakest - it doesn't matter! I should still wish to go and take over the world, with nothing more than my tiny dot of a body! Within my chest, beats the heart of the King of Conquerors!"
