Gundam Seed Quotes
Why did it turn out like this? Even if we think about it, we already know it is meaningless, yet my heart is wandering in search for it. We experienced a devastating war not too long ago, and we swore at that time that we would never repeat such catastrophes again. And yet, Junius-7 has fallen, our efforts were in vain, and hostilities have opened up once again. The war has spread without any protest, and we have gained the same sadness and pain once again.

Honestly, what is the meaning of the foolish repetition of a tragedy? For once, as I have mentioned in the past, the cause was definitely due to the existence of Logos. Those who fabricated false enemies, stirred fear into the hearts and minds of the innocent, and made people fight against one another, while reaping the ill-received gains of war. Those behind the scenes fueled this conflict with disastrous results, leading to the deaths of countless individuals; these people deserve to be named “The Merchants of Death”. We, after this long struggle have triumphed and defeated them. That is why I dare to address this... that we have to fight an enemy that has existed since the beginning of time. We have to overcome and release its influence it has on all of us.

Everyone must be well aware of it by now; it is the reason why ever since man had the capacity to understand, conflicts never disappear from human history. Our greatest enemy is ever-present is the ignorance and desire within us that we can never keep subdued. We distanced ourselves from the violent Earth and took refuge in space, and now that we have achieved the physical and mental abilities we desired above all else, people still do not understand each other. They still do not understand themselves, and with fear blocking their judgment, people cannot see the future.

As equals? No, with more riches and more enjoyment, the hand that grasps those evil desires within all of us... that is what we have become today: the seed of all conflicts. But the time has come to put an end to all this endless suffering. We have achieved a way to subdue all of that, and the only true answer is within us. All of mankind’s greatest questions are within all our bodies. With this, people will be able to understand their own, as well as others past and future. This is the only cure to prevent the infinite cycle of pain and suffering. As my final escort plan, with all of mankind’s future at stake, I hereby declare the execution of the Destiny Plan.

Gilbert Dullindal: I have to admit, it's amazing.
Rau le Creuset: [appearing as a ghost beside him] What is?
Gilbert Dullindal: The fights...the battles...the wars. People really love to fight, don't they?
Rau le Creuset: And how are you different?
Gilbert Dullindal: All I want is to win. Preferably without fighting.
Rau le Creuset: But you know, there are some things that you can't win.
Gilbert Dullindal: [thinks of Talia] Yes...I lost that day. Sometimes even when you fight, you can't win; an unobtainable victory. Then...why do people fight, even when death is inevitable? Why are we even born, for that matter?
Rau le Creuset: [laughs] Like I said before: they exist only to find out that reason. You probably don't like that answer, though.
Gilbert Dullindal: That's right. I'm sorry, but I'll have nothing to do with it; I will not be caught in an internal struggle, nor will I lose...like you did.

Gilbert Dullindal: [flashback] You cannot run away from yourself.
Rey Za Burrel: [to Kira] And you cannot take back your past! That's why... I'll put everything to an end, so they'll all return to the way they were meant to be! Humanity... and the world!!
Kira Yamato: No, you're wrong! Everyone, no matter who, has only one life! That's why your life is your own, not his!

Athrun Zala: Shinn, you must stop it already!
Shinn Asuka: Damn it! Why am I... Why am I losing to someone like you?!
Athrun Zala: You must stop fighting for your own past, because it will only hold you back!
[Shinn and Lunamaria are stunned by Athrun's words.]
Athrun Zala: Even if you've done that, you'll never bring anyone back alive at all!
[Flashbacks of fallen comrades and families as Athrun emphasizes his point.]
Shinn Asuka: W-what are you talking about?!
Athrun Zala: But yet, do you intend to destroy the future too?!
Shinn Asuka: I understand. I understand that! But, that's exactly why the world has to change!! Also, that's why Orb must be destroyed!
Lunamaria Hawke: [Lunamaria is shocked and horrified by Shinn's destructive motives and remarks..]Shinn...!
Athrun Zala: Stop talking back to me in that nonsense! Destroying everything like this... and even killing the future...! Is this really the world you desired?! Or the power you desired?!
[Shinn reflects at his painful past]
Shinn Asuka: Even so... even so!
[Shinn charges head on at Athrun, but Lunamaria jumps in between the two, trying to stop them fighting each other.]
Lunamaria Hawke: Shinn, stop it already! Athrun, you too!
[Shinn wildly screams at seeing the ghosts of his past.]
Shinn Asuka: Stella! Mayu! STOP IT!!!
[Shinn continues to attack, to Lunamaria's shock. Athrun goes into Seed Mode, and shields Lunamaria from Shinn's attack.]
Athrun Zala: You're such a mindless moron!!

[Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin are present at the Orb War Memorial as Shinn lays flowers and pays to his deceased family]
Lunamaria Hawke: Then, your parents don't have their graves at all?
Shinn Asuka: Yeah. There's only a small memorial for them.
[Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin silently remember the dead, and sadly looks around the memorial, and Shinn grips Mayu's cell phone very hard in anguish and anger.]
Shinn Asuka: I've been always hating this place... for a very long time. But, it's been always on my mind. This isn't used to be like this; it didn't look like this either. Maybe this means that no one should be deceived by what they see. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will always blow them away all over again. But this place... looking at this place, making me hate even more!
Lunamaria Hawke: Shinn... [Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin stands in silence, then Birdy flies in, followed by Kira and Lacus]
Athrun Zala: Kira! (everyone else looks in surprise)
"[Lacus lays flowers on the memorial as others stand by her]"
Kira Yamato: You're all here, I guess?
Athrun Zala: Yeah... (Another silent moment passes by, and Athrun steps forward to introduce Kira to Shinn)
Athrun Zala: Shinn, this is Kira. Kira Yamato, the pilot of Freedom. (Both Shinn and Lunamaria are surprised with wide eyes, as Shinn remember meeting Kira not long time ago)
Kira Yamato: (Extends his hand to Shinn as a friendly gesture.) Won't you accept it? (After a brief hesitation, Shinn return his hand and gives Kira handshake.)
Shinn Asuka: Ummm... I... I'm so...
Kira Yamato: No matter how many times people try to blow away the flowers, we'll always replant them back. I'm sure of it. (Shinn open his eye wide in apprehension)
Lunamaria Hawke: Then, your parents don't have their graves at all?
