"They say this world was created by the light. What was it, then, that caused the dark to be created? The whole will to fight is awash in the stench of death. On the faces of those who live in the light can be seen a sort of death mask, while those who live in the dark seem content to remain in their unlit vaults and crypts. Of what worth is one's will to fight? What worth, when the blood that sprays forth from violated flesh seems to find new freedom in its release?
The humans fear the dark, and yet, in order to escape it, might they themselves be the first to cast aside their own humanity? Neither approving of the other's existance, both determined to fight, fight until death. This world seems drunk on the elixir of madness!
True, half the blood in my body is the cursed blood of the dark. The half that is dark tries to bury this world in madness, but the half that is pure will yet triumph over the power of the dark!"
~ Donovan Baine, Darkstalkers, episode 2 opening sequence
"Show me what you really look like!! Instead of being a coward!! Whose only real "power" is to hide behind other people's faces!! STOP JERKING ME AROUND!!!"

"There is nothing brave about rashly choosing to die! Van, you are Fanelia's king! As long as she has a king and a people, Fanelia has a future! Bearing indignities such as this is the mark of true courage! A samurai's life is meant to save others. Don't forget that."
