Quotes by Treize Kushrenada

 

Since I have all this empty space up here I thought I'd make a little note about the way Treize's surname is and has been spelled.  In most cases it's seen spelled this way: "Kushrenada", however I've come across it spelled like this also: "Khushrenada".  I prefer the former and so that's the spelling you'll see here... 

Hmm, I was hoping that would take up more room....

The first two sets of quotes below are ones that I took down myself, the ones after were sent to me by Sette McLellan. 

 

 

"I cannot support the Romefeller Organization in the path it's taking..."

"Lady Une... my love.. rest in peace,"

"Her feelings toward me have caused her to have split personalities... save this unfortunate lady for me..." to Zechs.

"My beloved Lady ... you were right all along,"

"The times are changing and I find I'm solely lacking in power,"

"... I'm sure they'll be able to understand this if you greet them with your affection..." To Lady Une about her going to the colonies.

"Lady Une you must learn more about the Oz Organization..."

"Humans are weak and vulnerable..."

"It was honorable of him to get off the mobile suit and fight with me," to Lady Une about Wufei.

"Don't laugh at this Lady... I have no choice but to do some acting if I'm going to help the people,"

"My dear Lady, I'm so glad you made it home again.  I can't tell you how good it is to see you again.  You never left my heart for a moment.  But lady I want you to see how I handle things now..." to an unconscious Une in the hospital.

"It's Lady Une!" - you just had to hear this one!  When she saves him from Zechs (she shoved him out of the way after she stole gundam wing.  His expression was classic!)

Treize's Resignation Speech to Duke Dermail


“Duke Dermail, I’m sorry but I cannot support the Romefeller Foundation in the path it’s taking." -Treize


"What??" -Duke Dermail


"Tradition is a history—it’s the history of caring built by deep, true feelings of people. I do think that fighting in battles can at times be beautiful, but at the same time I’d like to express my regret over the lost souls be appealing to you to recognize how priceless man’s life is. I believe what man needs is not absolute victory, but a certain demeanor in fighting—an attitude toward fighting. I feel in the era of soulless weapons called mobile dolls—in other words, the era that the Romefeller Foundation is creating—may become an embarrassment to the people of the future! I used to think that the ideals of people in the space colonies, such as their highly prized pacifism, were just pitiful complaints born of their ignorance of tradition. (clips—Duo watching Trowa blow up Deathscythe, Trowa crying) New warriors were born that surpassed even my ideals—the gundam pilots. (clips—Quatre seeing his father die, getting angry) Tradition appears blurred alongside their true feelings. From a historical point of view, warriors who have lost what they were protecting and were further betrayed by those they were protecting are losers. But they do not recognize themselves as such. Not only that, but they retain a strong will to continue fighting. (clips—Heero and Quatre fighting, Duo and Wufei in prison) The emotions of those who were thought to be beautiful are always full of sorrow, and honored tradition disappears in the cry of the weak. Winners of a battle will eventually decline in power and become losers, and then those ‘losers’ will cultivate a new leader.” –Treize


“Treize, what are you trying to get at?” –Duke Dermail


“I’m telling you... I want to be a ‘loser’.” –Treize


“So you’re saying that you want the Romefeller Foundation Headquarters to take OZ out of your control? (sighs, pulls out an ornate gun and places it on desk) We don’t wish to see any blood. Besides, we must take your distinguished service into account. I hereby confine you to the Romefeller Foundation Headquarters.” –Duke Dermail


(as he’s leaving) “With a fancy gun that has long forgotten the meaning of battle, I could feel no emotion, even if I were to shoot an enemy right through the heart. It’s not that a pure person has no direction, it’s that their mind... is free!” –Treize


Individual Quotes

“...People feel pleasure in being controlled by others.”

“Lady Une, I’m not as strong as you think I am.” (to Lady Une)

“Lady, please come back to me—the lady I used to be so fond of!”

“Zechs Marquis—or, rather, my eternal friend, Milliardo Peacecraft—I’m delighted to hear that you’ve shown up in outer space. OZ is changing, and found that’ I’m solely lacking in power. Romefeller’s way, or rather the path of mankind’s day is just too selfish. I never expected their increased power would result in abandoning the true heart of humans.”

“Milliardo, at the moment, I don’t have the power to alter the path chosen by Romefeller. I’m just glad to talk to someone who understands me. (pause) Milliardo, there’s one other person who understands me. Her feelings towards me have caused her to have split personalities. (“Lady Une?”) I’m making the person closest to me feel insecure. I’ve got no right to talk about the future. Milliardo, I’m for you! You’ve got to save her!”   

“Heero, don’t die—don’t give up... keep fighting, kid!”

“Heero, I won’t permit you to die until you’ve killed me first!”

“...Then your battles will never end, since your enemy is destiny itself!” (to Heero)

“My greatest happiness is being able to speak with you.”

“...We were saved by the gundams!”

“Humans are weak and vulnerable.”

(to Wufei) “The duel is mine... It was a good fight.”

(about Wufei) “It was honorable for him to get off the mobile suit and duel with me...”

“I thought so. The future’s about to head in the wrong direction...”

“The second act is about to begin—we’ll be busy!”

“The Earth is a confined area. We can’t go around mindlessly polluting it.”

(to Lady Une) “You can do away with the military formalities.”

“I look at it as a way to govern the people toward peaceful intentions...”

(excusing Relena’s behavior) “You’ll have to forgive me. She’s the younger sister of a friend I invited.”

“God is merely an image created by humans...”

(to Zechs) “Would you continue to fight as our knight to defeat the gundams?”

“...And then Lightning Count would die a hero. That would be wonderful.”

“There’s a lot more to war than fighting with mobile suits!”

[referring to political battles] “Hurry up and return, Zechs, because without you OZ will become nothing but worthless actions made by worthless people!”


(to Heero) “Don’t die—don’t give up! You mustn’t die yet! Fight!—keep fighting, to prolong your life! You pilots... you mustn’t die yet!”

(to Heero) “In that case, your battles will never end, since your enemy is destiny itself!”

(to Heero) “My greatest happiness in life is being able to talk with you.”

“Heero, I won’t permit you to die until you’ve killed me first!”

(to Heero) “I welcome you with my heart, dear messenger of peace.”

“Heero Yuy, I must warn you of one thing—you must be aware when you pilot that suit, the gundam Epyon is not a weapon. I hope you return here as a loser.”


“You must be Treize.” –Heero

“That should be obvious.” –Treize

“...I was hoping to have a long discussion with you and the other gundam pilots one of these days.” –Treize (has a gun trained on Treize)

“I have no interest in you, Treize!” –Heero

“Of course not. You pilots should only be concerned with obtaining peace—peace for the world, or rather, peace that will spread through the entire universe.” –Treize

“Fighting is my only concern. Peace is no more than on outcome after the fighting is ended.” –Heero

“Then let me ask you—who’s your enemy? Is it me, or OZ? Is it Romefeller, or is it your far away home—the colony that has betrayed you?” –Treize

“Those that stand before me with the intention of killing me—they’re my enemies.” –Heero

“In that case, your battles will never end, since your enemy is destiny itself.” –Treize

“Maybe so, but I’ll continue to fight—that’s the only choice I have, and I don’t give a damn when I do die.” –Heero

“Don’t you have any desire to try and enjoy your destiny? In my opinion, Relena Peacecraft is a much stronger person than you! I never thought that you’d be feeling the limitations of your continuous battle. But it’s a fact that nobody’s able to chance the course of our times.” –Treize

“Well you should be able to! You used the have the power to control the future. You just need to repeat what you did before!” –Heero

“Hm. I have no intention of doing that.” –Treize

“I see.” –Heero

“My greatest happiness in life is being able to talk with you. (pulls a gun) And now I truly understand the time of my own death must coincide with yours. Now that we truly understand each other, let’s put ourselves in God’s hands.” –Treize

“Not a very good loser, are you? Well, it makes no difference to me.” –Heero

“A soldier who’s willing to die—in my opinion, that’s the most correct attitude a person can take to fight, But unfortunately, you’ve lost sight of your enemy. That makes you the same as myself—my battle has also come to an end.” –Treize

“Your battle hasn’t ended! Even as we speak, countless soldiers are sacrificing their lives for you! I know for certain that your battle hasn’t ended. If anything has ended, or rather, if anything should end, it’s my own miserable and useless retaliation.” –Heero

“Hmm... (puts his gun down) Heero Yuy, I implore you—please don’t disappoint me any further! You mustn’t be in the same position as myself! (walks over to a bookcase, pulls out a book and takes a card out of the book) I have a guide here that will show you how to live from now on... (reveals Epyon)” –Treize

“I’ve given it the name Epyon. This suit has the ability to show the pilot the image of the enemy he’s fighting, and the pilot’s own future. Regretfully, there wasn’t any future for me to choose from. After you’ve used this suit, if you end up just like myself, let us both part with our lives.” –Treize

“Why did you decide to make this thing?” –Heero

“All my life, I’ve always thought that humans sensed their existence through continuous battle. However, I couldn’t come to any conclusions. My battle is now over, but I still have yet to determine the reason for battle. To find that reason, I figured a gundam would be the most appropriate mobile suit. In addition, I’d like to give my blessings to the winner and loser. This mobile suit allows me to do so.” –Treize

“Do you think you’ve built a god or something?” –Heero

“Maybe I do. As long as the warrior has the genuine will to fight, the Epyon will eliminate all distractions. There’s nothing more noble and beautiful than a warrior with no distractions. One could say he’s the closest thing to God!” –Treize

“I don’t believe in God.” –Heero

“Show me your abilities to battle, and your future...” –Treize


From the 'narration' episode

(to a soldier) “I’m actually perfectly satisfied with this beautiful display of nature. There’s no need to worry yourself about me. I’m a defeated man, and no longer your leader.”

“For defeated men like myself, restrictions become the foundation for a new strength. But in my case, I feel much freer being restricted, Perhaps up until now I wasn’t able to experience freedom. Perhaps this last action of mine has allowed me the chance to step back and reevaluate myself...”

“As long as mankind exists in this world, there will always be battles, and denouncing battles will never lead to peace. It’s natural for this world to continue fighting.”

“What strong will—what purity! Yes, we must fight against each other, but our desire to fight is the same!”

(looks at two pictures of Lady Une) “Lady Une, my love, rest in peace…”

“Between the far distances of the shining stars, I continue to pass by numerous destinies. I must pass with a tremendous pace from a period I remember, long ago...”

[this one is where they have that shot of Treize with a backdrop of stars and him looking all reflective ^_^] “And now, the casting for the act is almost complete as we begin the third act. All that’s left is to wait for the curtain to rise…”
