Eternal Sonata/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Frederic, you said before that this whole world is all just a dream you're having, right? But if you're in your own dream, how can you be so completely positive that what's happening is only a dream.

I don't know how much time I have left to live, but I want to live what's left of my life in a positive way, bringing happiness to others. I just want to help people somehow.

Beat: ...

March: I think that's a priest.
Salsa: What's a priest? Is it warm? Does it taste good?!

March: Oh, March, don't be so silly. It's disrespectful.

I wanted power for the sake of having it. With enough power, I can make, not only Forte and Baroque, but the whole world bow down before me. Only then will I feel truly alive.
