Athrun Zala quotes from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Athrun Zala

The PLANTs and Earth WILL see eye to eye. You'll join me in the PLANTs too, right Kira?

Athrun Zala

I can't exactly fight a war with a big smile on my face.

Athrun Zala

It was the Earth Alliance Forces that gave us the "Valentine Present" first.

Athrun Zala

My mother was at Junius Seven, which was only a PLANT for agriculture. Countless people, including children, died instantly from the nuclear attack. Did you expect me to sit back and do nothing?

Athrun Zala

How could you do it, Kira? You murdered Nicol!

Athrun Zala

I haven't received any specific military orders regarding this battle. This intervention... is my decision alone.

Athrun Zala

Both of us completely understood what you meant, and that there are things in this world you want to protect sometimes you gotta fight for them.

Athrun Zala

It seems like everybody's crying.

Athrun Zala

Only a handful of people were responsible for this, but that doesn't matter. all anyone will remember is that they were Coordinators. You think they'll be quick to forgive?

Athrun Zala

Anyone who has ever wept because they felt weak or powerless has always had those kinds of thoughts. Oh, yes. But the moment you acquire all that power you dreamt of, you become the one who causes others to weep tears of loss. Never forget that.

Athrun Zala

KIRA!!!!!

Athrun Zala

You can't just fight without knowing the true reason behind your anger!

Athrun Zala

Know what you're fighting for. Fighting for its own sake is pointless. Understand why you are so angry.

Athrun Zala

In battle, your forces must use only enough power to cause the enemy to lose the will to fight, eliminating the threat with the least amount of damage. Anything less, and your forces will lose. Anything more, and newer different difficulties will arise. The problem lies in the fact that on the battlefield, there are many who understand this.. and many who don't.

Athrun Zala

Thou may freely eat off every tree in the garden, but never touch the tree that grants the knowledge of good and evil. For the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shall surely die. But the serpent, who was the most cunning of all the creatures brought forth at that time, had this to say, "Ye shall not die, for God doth know that the day ye eat thereof, thine eye shall be opened. Ye will know of good and evil, and ye shall be as God is." And that God knows that fact. And so it is said that the first humans ate of the fruit.
