"If my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
And if I smile tell me some sad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool.
And if I swallow anything evil,
Put your finger down my throat!
And if I shiver, please, give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat."

Doctor: This is Clara. Not my assistant, she's, uh, some other word—
Clara: I'm his carer.
Doctor: Yeah, my "carer". She cares so I don't have to.
Clara: I'm his carer.
Doctor: Yeah, my "carer". She cares so I don't have to.
Doctor: Why do I keep you around?
Clara: Because otherwise you'd have to grow a conscience of your own.
Clara: Because otherwise you'd have to grow a conscience of your own.

Aria: I've been waiting to kill that man for months. Walk around with you for a few hours and I go all soft. You're like a disease.
Paragon! Shepard: This victory came at a cost, Aria. It's not "soft" to recognize that.
Aria: You sound like someone trying to sell something. I admire your tenacity.

Chloe: No matter what you want as Davis, the other side of you will still try and kill him.

Discord: Bravo, ladies, bravo! How ever did you save the day this time? Blast the beastie with your magic necklaces, I presume? Where are those little trinkets of yours? You know, the ones you use to send me back to my extremely uncomfortable stone prison?
Applejack: [sigh] Gone.
Discord (Obviously considering causing chaos with the elements gone): Gone? Gone?
Fluttershy (as Discord physically shrinks under her threats): But our friendship remains. And if you want to remain friends, you'll stop thinking whatever it is you're thinking and help us clean up.
Discord (In a French Maid outfit): Fine. But I don't do windows.

When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different. Someone better. When that person is taken from you, what do you become then?

“There’s been this voice. In my head, ever since I woke up.” She edged slightly away from me, but I smiled at her, the softest I thought that I could pull off. “Thing is, he goes away whenever I’m near you. Don’t know how, don’t know why. All I know is that when I’m near you, my mind calms down.
Dracula: One year! It will take me one year to summon an army from the guts of Hell itself!
Alucard: No.
Dracula: What do you mean, "no"? That woman [Lisa] was the only reason on Earth for me to tolerate human life!
Alucard: Then find the one who did the deed. If you loose an army of the night on Wallachia, you cannot undo it, and many thousands of innocent people just like her will suffer and die.
Dracula: There are no innocents! Not anymore! Any one of them could have stood up and said, "No, we won't behave like animals anymore."

“From now on,” Windfall stressed, looking between both myself and the violet unicorn standing next to me, “we're good ponies. All of us,” she stared us down until she got an acknowledging nod. Then she looked back at me, “a long time ago, you told me I could channel my talent. If killing ponies was what I was good at, then I should make sure I just kill ponies that deserve it. Now I'm going to hold you to that same standard.
“You fuck it up,” her voice started to quaver a little bit now, but her expression remained grim, “and I'll end you myself.”

"I'm afraid this might sound a bit...sentimental. However... I want to thank you. Because of you, I feel I can walk my fated path without losing myself. If I were alone, I might have lost perspective and become a harsh leader with a heart of ice. But I'm not alone. With you by my side, I'm somehow free to be not only a leader, but... simply Edelgard."
— Edelgard to Byleth, Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Agatha: You're not Evil, Sophie. You're human.
Sophie: Only if I have you.
Sophie: Only if I have you.
