Replacement Goldfish/Quotes

"This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of a goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God. Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground."

- Survivor

"I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again."

- Commissioner Pravin Lal - "Time of Bereavement", Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri'

"What am I, some sort of Gadolt substitute!?"

- Reyn, in response to all his Ship Tease with Sharla, Xenoblade Chronicles.

"If I die, I can be replaced."

- Ayanami Rei on several occasions, Neon Genesis Evangelion. (Turns out she's right, too.)

"In a glen beyond the castle wall

There was a tinker

And he was a thinker

The smartest man in all the world

He made a mechanical girl

For you see, his daughter passed away that summer

And though he knew he could not replace her

He missed his family"

- Voltaire, "The Mechanical Girl"
