"With the greatest of respect, Sir, the twin of that toy you are transporting took out that Angel in sixty three seconds, with no civilian casualties, no military casualties and minimal collateral damage to the city it was fighting in. Us 'kids' have to pilot these things because there isn't anyone else who can. While our classmates at school are worrying about who they'll invite to the dance, we are wondering if tomorrow we'll die as we're ripped to pieces by something nuclear weapons barely slow down, knowing if we fail, out entire race is going to die. So, respectfully, I'd ask you to show some fucking respect."
— Shinji, Once More with Feeling, Chapter 9

"I think it has been a long time since anyone has pointed out to you that you are a fool. Pain doesn’t make people. It’s love that makes people. Pain is inconsequential. It’s love that saves them. And you would know that, but you have none around you. You said so yourself, you surround yourself with lies and deceptions. And I wish for you in the future to find someone who would mourn you when you are gone. (Beat) Respectfully."
