Sasori quotes from Naruto: Shippūden

[to Deidara] You're late! I told you don't keep me waiting!

[to Kankuro] I don't like to wait or keep others waiting. So I'll make this short and sweet.

[to Kankuro] The spider needs to be as fast as the fly.

[to Chiyo while revealing his Hiruko body] If you insist on defying me, you give me no choice. So are you ready to join that boy as another addition to my collection, Granny Chiyo?

But do you know how I prepare a new specimen for my collection? First I drain its blood. Then I remove all the organs and wash it inside and out. Make it nice and clean. And then after I've preserved the body against decay, the final step is to fill it with hidden weapons.

[Finally revealing his puppet body] You don't know how right you are.

[To Sakura] That's pointless. This puppet body of mine can't feel any pain. When you strike me, the only thing you hurt is your own fist. But come to think of it, you both seem two love doing such pointless things. Even if a relative, my own grandmother died here, I wouldn't feel a thing. My heart is just like this body. Over the years I've killed hundreds, thousands of people. She'd be no different from the rest. Things are much simpler than you might think.

Traps are made so that people will fall into them.

Are you sure what you've got in that pouch will be enough? Our enemy possesses the Jinchuriki host.

Deidara

Every one of my jutsu is a work of art. But just to be sure I brought along my masterpiece. We can't take any chances when our opponent is the One-Tail.

Itachi, this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, what is he like?

Pain

Go on, tell him.

Itachi

He's the one who bursts in and barks first.

What do you mean?

Deidara

Doesn't he have any identifying characteristics, other than barking hmm?

Deidara

What's taking them? I wish they would just hurry up and get in here, hmm. Sasori, what's the matter my man? I thought you didn't like to be kept waiting.

Yes. I hate it!

Deidara

Well then, which one of you would be the Jinchuriki?

Naruto

[Seeing Deidara sitting on dead Gaara] You bastards! I'll kill the both of you!

The one who bursts in and starts barking. That would be him then.

Deidara

Sasori my man, I think you're correct.

Deidara

An artist must always seek ever greater stimulation, lest his senses go dull on him, my man. Rumor is the Nine Tails Jinchuriki is very powerful. A canvas truly worthy of my artistry.

What? Those pyrotechnics of yours, art? Art is a work of beauty, captured and left for posterity. Art is eternal beauty.

Deidara

Eternal beauty? Are you kidding me? Look don't get me wrong. As a fellow artist I respect your point of view. But true ar this fleeting. A flash of beauty burning brightly and then vanishing in a heartbeat.

It's said the ability of a puppet master is measured by the amount of puppets they can use. I'd expect no less from you grandmother.

Sakura

There's so many of them. 10 at a time?

Granny Chiyo's secret multiple digits. I've heard tell of their glory. You once destroyed an entire fortress with it. Secret white move: Chikamatsu's 10 puppets. The first puppet master Monzaemon's 10 masterpieces. An exquisite collection. However... [summons 100 puppets] I used these to destroy an entire nation!

Sakura

What the hell are you?

I would describe myself as a human being who could not become a complete puppet. Yes I am a unfinished puppet whose lifeless frame still contains a beating heart at its core. I am neither dead nor am I alive.
