"Victory isn't something you are given. I…" — Ushiromiya Battler Quote

"Slacking off' sounds bad. However, enjoying more of your day with the time you saved by doing your job in a clever way is definitely not a bad thing. Times like that are what makes a human's life rich. If you exaggerate, it could be called laziness, surely. However, people only become mature when they are able to balance work with enjoyment. In short, if all you care about is your job, you're not fully mature."

— Gaap · Umineko no Naku Koro ni

"People respect it when someone they are distant from is boring and harmless. However, they only like that person because he or she doesn't get in their way. No human would want to hang around a boring person."

— Featherine Augustus Aurora · Umineko no Naku Koro ni

"They say the temperature of tea and a women's heart are difficult in any age."

"Something as shady as a witch couldn't possibly exist."

"You're nothing but a piece. Your absence wouldn't hinder my progress in this game in the slightest. If you can't think of any other theories in particular, please just go back to the piece tray and gather dust or something. It's painful to even remember useless pieces."

— Frederica Bernkastel · Umineko no Naku Koro ni

"Fortitude is about staying cool and calmly analyzing your opponent. Do you know why? It's to counter, to give back exactly what you got, to make them not want to take another pass at you, to make them cover their face in tears and snot and forget to wash it off, to make them want to rub their forehead on the ground and apologize over and over, to completely, perfectly, thoroughly beat them until they can't get up!"
