Lelouch: "Have you learned that only those willing to be shot can shoot others?" (ep.1)
Lelouch: "Oh no! I forgot to do my lab report!" (ep.3)
-A genius of a student, a strategic mastermind-even the most composed private academy student can forget about homework.
Lelouch: (on making a promise with Nunnally) "That's creepy. Do you really have to stick a needle in your eye?" (ep.3)
-This is much more motivating than swearing by the bible.
Lelouch: "Will there be sacrifice? Yes, not only soldiers, but innocent bystanders as well. Even so-no-because of that, I cannot stop. Even if I need to cheat or hurt, I must persevere. I must become carnage incarnate. I must spill
more blood, so the blood already spilt wouldn't be in vain."
-Isn't this a circular argument? He no longer justifes his actions with his original motivation-to make the world a happy place for Nunnally to live in. One thing leads to
another. Such is war and its capacity to be forever ongoing while the true goals become forgotten.
Lelouch: The royal family fights within itself to determine who's the most suited to ascend the throne. No...that man makes them do it!"
C.C.: "But that's Britannia's strength. The strongest one wins out, then becomes the next Emperor."
Lelouch: "They cast the weak into oblivion, that's the type of country Britannia is-the kind of world it is."
C.C.: "Survival of the fittest is the rule of nature."
Lelouch: "Then, what about Nunnally? Am I supposed to abandon her because she's weak?! I'll never do that!"
-The thing is, us humans have the capacity to make exceptions to certain golden rules. Thus the term, "humanity."
Lelouch: (on the school festival and playing dress up in animal costumes) "kallen doesn't need a costume-she's already as catty as they come." (ep.9)
-Interpersonal relationships 101: things you should never say to a female.
Lelouch: "As a member of the Order, you have two choices. Live with me, or die with me." (ep.10)
-Always the motivational speaker.
C.C.: (at the school festival) "You there! Where can I find the world's largest pizza?" (ep.21)
Lelouch: (on Rollo) "I will use you until you dry up, then discard you like a ragged cloth!" (R2 ep.4)
-By and large, I think this is one of the heartless things Lelouch has uttered. Feel free to dispprove me, if you can.
Lelouch: (on trying to catch up to Suzaku and pursue Arthur) Suzaku! Wait! *pants* You stupid jock!
Schneizel: If one wins too much, defeat will be waiting. Every human is searching for hope- winning crushes that hope. It's the same of allies or enemies.
Suzaku: As I told you before, I do not believe there is meaning in change wrought through improper methods.
Lelouch: Then let me ask you: is the current peace meaningless as well? 7 years ago, if Japan had chosen to resist to the bitter end, what would have become of it?
The Chinese and European Unions would have intervened, and Japan would have split i three. They would still be fighting over it.
So, the current peace is a direct result of Japan's hurriedly-made unconditional surrender.
Suzaku: Yes, I fight to maintain the peace my father died to create.
Lelouch: No, you're wrong. Prime minister Kururugi, the lawfully-elected leader of Japan, did not decide to surrender.
That decision was made when whoever killed him forced that decision on the people.
Suzaku: Chaos reigned through the government, and they had no choice but to surrender.
Lelouch: Do you understand? The choice of the people was stolen from them! A single, selfish criminal overruled the will of an entire nation!
There is only one way you can atone. Make the choice that the people of Japan were denied the opportunity to make.
Walk the path from which they strayed seven years ago. Rise up against Britannia!
Suzaku: Rise up? That again?
Lelouch: That is the one path you can take. Or would you rather continue to impose your will on the greater populace unto eternity?
Is that truly peace?
