The common masses are utter fools. They fail to give the future any thought at all. They raise whatever is most convenient to them at the drop of a hat.

I know you're not here to take your revenge, Stella. But this is the day we send that ship to hell.
Why do you keep making... these pathetic excuses?!
Orb should never fight like this. Don't be a slave to the Earth Forces!
Even though that ship may not mean us any direct ill will, we suffered extensive damage because of its intervention last time. All hands are to consider that ship hostile.
I'm sick and tired of looking at that face! Today I'll gut you like a fish.
Hey, hey, were you asleep or something? Stop running away!
[To Yuna] A real battle is far different from those games you're so good at. It's not as easy as you seem to think.
[After witnessing the Abyss Gundam's explosion] Auel...

Today you will see our tears... and our determination!
I will try to carry out your order to destroy the Minerva to the very end. I will take the blame for the ships and soldiers that we lost today. With this action, Orb's bravery will be unquestioned. The whole world will learn what we did here.
If you're so eager to lay down your life, then gather everyone who feels the same and go to the Archangel. One day I know they'll find the right path.

Captain Todaka...
Please do this. For me, and all those who gave their lives pointlessly today.
I know what you're saying... I know what you're saying, but it doesn't matter. Because at this moment, Cagalli is crying her heart out. She's crying because all of this is exactly what she feared. Why won't you understand that? And now, are you telling me that this battle... these terrible sacrifices... they can't be helped!? That all of this is the fault of Orb and Cagalli? If you are saying that, then you are attacking the very thing that Cagalli is trying to save!
[Athrun is shocked by Kira's words] No, Kira... I...
Then I have no choice. I must defeat you! [Kira enters SEED mode]
[They confront each other and the Freedom demolishes the Savior, leaving only the cockpit intact.]
All things are born into this world... and eventually they die. That is the pure and simple truth.
A path not chosen is the same as a path that never existed.
