"Madoka. My only friend... If... If it's …" — Homura Akemi Quote

"The balance between hope and despair keeps itself to zero. When was it you told me that? I understand what you mean now, I did save quite a few people, but in exchange hatred and jealousy filled my heart, I even hurt my best friend. Someone has to be cursed to balance out a wish for someone else's happiness."

— Sayaka Miki · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"You’re too kind. Remember this and take it to heart: kindness sometimes leads to even greater tragedy."

"Repeat. I'll repeat it for however many times I have to. Until I find the only way out."

"It really shouldn't be all that uncommon - having a wish you'd go so far as to trade your life for. I think there are a lot of people in the world with wishes and desires like that. If we can't think of anything, it just means that we really haven't had anything that bad happen to us. We've had too much given to us and have become dull and stupid. It makes me wonder: Why us? Don't you think it's unfair? I'm sure there are other people who'd really want a chance like this."

— Sayaka Miki · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"I don't regret using my wish for another's sake. If I regret my decision now, the feelings upon which it was based will be for naught."

— Sayaka Miki · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"Miracles aren't free. When you wish for hope, it creates an equivalent despair. That's how the balance of this world is preserved."
