"To win, but not destroy"

"What you speak of at greatest length is what interests you the most."

— Gilgamesh · Fate/zero

"I have no parents, and I'm not a product of love. Therefore, I can't understand what a 'good wife' is. Even so... the love he gave me is my entire world. No one can humiliate that."

— Irisviel von Einzbern · Fate/zero

"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!"

— Emiya Kiritsugu · Fate/zero

"Do exactly as you like. That is the true meaning of pleasure. Pleasure leads to joy and joy leads to happiness. Your path is now clear, Kirei. So clear there is no longer any need to hesitate."

— Gilgamesh · Fate/zero

"There are two kinds of arrogance. One where you are unequal to the task and one where your dreams are too big. The former is commonplace stupidity... but the latter is a rare species that is difficult to find."

— Gilgamesh · Fate/zero

"(to Kiritsugu) I shall not let you die easily. I shall use healing magic to regenerate your heart and lungs, while I rend every inch of your flesh. In pain and despair, you will die as you suffer. And while you die, you will curse them... You will curse the cowardice of those who hired you! You will curse the Einzbern's for disgracing the Holy Grail War!"

— Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi · Fate/zero
