- "You can put on the funny accent and play dress-up, but I’m on to you."
- ― Belkar Bitterleaf to Vampire Durkon (The Order of the Stick)
- "If you were but a simple strategist, there would be no need to kill you. Of course, you are no mere strategist. Nor do I mind you declaring yourself to be a coward. That is not something which demonstrates the caliber of a man. Your claims of having no desires is probably true. Normally, an entity of greed such myself would view people like you as nothing more than a piddling existence...Yet for some reason instead, I feel you project a fearsome greatness."
- ― Ryo Fui to Ri Boku (Kingdom)
