"Protect the one thing you want to protec…" — Sakura Kyouko Quote

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

— Sakura Kyouko · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"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

"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

"Now that I think about it, I really didn't understand anything back then. Neither what it meant to pray for a miracle...nor the price of one."

— Sayaka Miki · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"I can only say that the human curiosity is something completely irrational."

— Kyubee · Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

"Why is it that when humans regret the decision based on a misunderstanding they feel resentment toward the other party?"
