- "Heart? You humans toss that word around like it's nothing as if it's something you can hold in the palm of your hand. [...] What cannot be seen does not exist. That's what I've always believed. What is a heart? Can it be seen if I rip open this chest of yours? If I crush your skull? Will I find it there?"
- ― Ulquiorra Cifer to Orihime Inoue (Bleach)
- "Missed!... Did you forget? I'm a heartless wretch!"
