"Let's Rock." - Grimmjow Jeagerjaques in the Manga of BLEACH.

"...If you need an explanation, ask the distant past..."

"...My power is concentrated in the will going through my heart..." - Both are lyrics to Grimmjow's 'theme' called "SIX Feelings" from BLEACH.

"Blow Me." - (SPOILERS) Grimmjow to Ulquiorra when Grimmjow was helping Orihime save Ichigo XD the phrase that started my love for the GrimmUlqui pairing! :D

"Grind Pantera!" - (SPOILERS) Grimmjow's words to go into his Release Form, Pantera.

"I am the King!" - Grimmjow in a certain scene after going into his Release Form, I think.

"I'll teach him what happens when he messes with someone else's prey!" - Not sure WHEN he says this but I know he's directing it to Ulquiorra.

"Remember my name and pray you never hear it again. 'Cause next time you hear it, you're dead meat." - He directs this to Ichigo after their first meeting, I think.

"I am the Sexta Espada! Grimmjow!" - (SPOILERS) Grimmjow says this after killing Luppi, an Espada who temporarily replaced him because he lost his arm to Tousen. This saying is followed by a sadistic, psychotic, triumphant laugh.

"...Pass quickly over those trivial thoughts. Moreover, crush them..."

"...Even if everyone ignores the smell of fear, There will still be disorder..."

"...Everyone smiles when the flowers are in bloom..." - All three Are From Ulquiorra's 'theme' called "Our World."

"Trash." - One of the more common sayings from Ulquiorra XD Anyone he deems unworthy, he calls either Garbage or Trash.

126.) "I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well." - Andrew Ryan, "Bioshock" video game.

133.) "What is the greatest lie every created? What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind? Slavery? The Holocaust? Dictatorship? No. It's the tool with which all that wickedness is built: altruism. Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their altruism. Never mind your own needs, they say, think of the needs of... of whoever. The state. The poor. Of the army, of the king, of God! The list goes on and on. How many catastrophes were launched with the words "think of yourself"? It's the "king and country" crowd who light the torch of destruction. It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure. My journey to Rapture was my second exodus. In 1919, I fled a country that had traded in despotism for insanity. The Marxist revolution simply traded one lie for another. Instead of one man, the tsar, owning the work of all the people, all the people owned the work of all of the people. So, I came to America: where a man could own his own work, where a man could benefit from the brilliance of his own mind, the strength of his own muscles, the might of his own will. I had thought I had left the parasites of Moscow behind me. I had thought I had left the Marxist altruists to their collective farms and their five-year plans. But as the German fools threw themselves on Hitler's sword "for the good of the Reich", the Americans drank deeper and deeper of the Bolshevik poison, spoon-fed to them by Roosevelt and his New Dealists. And so, I asked myself: in what country was there a place for men like me - men who refused to say "yes" to the parasites and the doubters, men who believed that work was sacred and property rights inviolate. And then one day, the happy answer came to me, my friends: there was no country for people like me! And that was the moment I decided... to build one." - Andrew Ryan, "Bioshock"

134.) "We work in the Dark to serve the Light, we are Assassins. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." - Ezio Auditore, "Assassin's Creed" Video Game

135.) "Remember, you can never truly ambush a Space Marine. The most you can do is confirm their suspicions." - Quote from Warhammer 40'000 Games.

136.) “To my nieces and nephews and nephews and to their nieces and nephews that they may know something of how we were in those days before greed and avarice destroyed the happiness of this world.”- Bruce Cotten

137.) "There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit." - Napoleon Bonaparte

138.) "Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living." - General Omar Bradley

139.) "There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever." - Thomas Edison

140.) "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers." - Francois Fenelon

141.) "Battle not with monsters, lest ye be a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche

142.) “Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn’t make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you’re doing it out of fear.” - Sarah Dessen (This Lullaby)
