- What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time... But, for a certainty, back then, We loved so many, yet hated so much, We hurt others and were hurt ourselves... Yet even then we ran like the wind, Whilst our laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies... Opening words

Lynx
edit- Let love bleed. Darker and deeper than the seas of Hell!
- There are two sides to every coin. Love and hate. Life and death. They are all the same.
Kid
edit- If the world's gonna be destroyed, then let it be destroyed! If history is gonna be changed, then let it bloody well be changed! (reference to Magus' words in Chrono Trigger)
- Show your face, Lynx! Yer 9 lives are up!!!
- I'll kick yer sorry arse so hard you'll kiss the moons!
- Only the ones who don't think anything of hurtin' others are the ones who get blood-stained fortunes.
Others
edit- Don't shy away from darkness. You must face it. Mwa hahahah hah... Dark Uchimichi"'
- Be very careful when you stare into the flame...For the flame will also stare back at you... Ancient Legend
- There's nothing in the world as ruthless or impartial as death. All living matter ages over time and eventually dies... No matter how mighty or tiny its life force... So being alive means you're creeping closer to death with every second... But there's none of that here. No one and nothing ages. Nothing wastes away. This quiet, boundless, and beautiful world... An ideal world, straight out of a fairy tale, isn't it? A place and time that belongs to no one... Res nullius... It's because this is a future that was eliminated!!! History is composed of choices and divergences. Each choice you make creates a new world and brings forth a new future. But at the same time, you're eliminating a different future with the choices you didn't make. A future denied of all existence because of a change in the past... A future that was destroyed before it was even born rests here... condensed into the Dead Sea. Miguel
- In order to survive, all living things in this world fight desperately and devour those they defeat... Must one kill other living things in order to survive? Must one destroy another world in order to allow one's own world to continue? The wounded in turn wound and torment those weaker than they themselves are... There are only the killers and the killed... The sinners who are judged, and the victims that do the judging. What meaning is there to such a world? Dragon God/Time Devourer
- Fate has no forgiveness for those who dare stand against it. (upon 'Game Over')
- Wilt thou change this world... Or wilt thou change thyself? Wilt thou live on with thy mother planet... Or wilt thou turn thy back on the planet and treat another path? Water Dragon
- Insanity leads to chaos, Then to solitude. The fruitless effort of adding meaning to what is meaningless. A lone, crimson tear falls to the sea... The echo of the remaining star cries out in the infinite vacuum. The least I can do is send my distant prayers over the wind of time, setting sail on dreams... Arni Villager
- Love and Hate, although contradictory, are two sides of the same coin. Steena
