"If you do evil out of a hatred for evil,…" — Saber Quote

"From the moment a magus is born, he is someone that has "power". And some day, he will achieve a "greater power". This responsibility was already flowing in his "blood" before he realized this destiny. That is what it means to be born into this world as the child of a magus."

"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!"

"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"

"So, you would question me, you filthy mongrel? Me, the one true king? If you cannot now discern my identity in the presence of my magnificent glory, then you’re ignorant blindness will serve to seal your doom!"
