Quotations

Kratos never really talks all that much, and even when he does, he never gives any long speeches or anything like that. Either way, I believe you can learn a lot by looking at what characters say, so I have provided a few of my favorite quotes, or those that have some importance.

LLOYD: I don't have a clue what any of this stuff does.
KRATOS: I'll handle this.
LLOYD: You sure are handy with everything--swordsmanship, magic, even operating machines.
KRATOS: I've lived a little longer than most humans.
LLOYD: Lived longer? So you're a half-elf too? But then again, he called you human earlier...
KRATOS: Focus on what's important. We must stop the Giant Tree.
LLOYD: Y...yeah.

KRATOS: After meeting Anna, I realized my mistake in believing that accepting Mithos' visions would be the fastest route to reunite the worlds.

KRATOS: (to Lloyd) Everything felt meaningless. Mithos said he would reunite the worlds as soon as Martel was revived. I came to think that as long as the land would return to normal, that would be enough...Until I met you.

KRATOS: (to Lloyd) You realize that you are capable of making mistakes. Or rather, if you make a mistake, you are capable of acknowledging it. That takes courage. Mithos, as well as I...were unable to do that.

KRATOS: Be gone, illusions of Mithos and Lloyd! My son needs me. I...cannot run from the sins of my past. Lloyd, allow me to atone for the foolishness of overlooking Mithos' brutality!

KRATOS: Hmm, what's wrong? Is my face that fascinating?
LLOYD: No. Nothing...

RAINE: Now, everyone. Eat up.
GENIS: Y...yeah. Okay...
KRATOS: I'll try some. Well, it's flavorful and...has a remarkable texture. I've never eaten anything like this before.
RAINE: Oh...so I messed up again.
KRATOS: Ugh...First Aid!

KRATOS: ...Are you unable to sleep, Chosen?
COLETTE: Ah...no, I'm fine.
KRATOS: If you cannot sleep, you should count the stars. Although, a human life is far too short to count them all...
COLETTE: ...That's a good idea. I'll try that.

KRATOS: Yes. That's right...Power is more than just your physical strength. The strength to acknowledge your crimes. The strength to remember them. You must have them as well.

KRATOS: We better hurry. I'm worried about Lloyd and the others.
SHEENA: Well, I didn't expect to hear that from you.
KRATOS: I'm saying that I'm worried that they may be causing more problems.
SHEENA: Right, whatever you say.

KRATOS: Lloyd. Make sure you warm-up first, and be careful out there.
LLOYD: Hmm? You're not going to change?
KRATOS: I shall rest on the beach.
LLOYD: You sound old.
LLOYD: Hey, aren't you hot in that outfit?
KRATOS: Don't worry about me. You should go play.
LLOYD: It's boring by myself. Oh, I know. Hey, Kratos. Let's cut a watermelon with a sword.
KRATOS: Watermelon? Hmm, you're practicing even at a time like this. I'm proud of you, Lloyd.
LLOYD: *sweatdrop* ...On second thought...never mind.

RANDOM BATTLE QUOTES:
