The Best List Of Claymore Quotes:

“Don’t be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end.” – Clare

“My existence was nothing more to her than a stone by the side of the road. I wasn’t enough to fill her belly. Or perhaps I didn’t even get reflected in her eyes. I couldn’t even hate the beast that killed Teresa. It was me, overcome by fear, that I could not forgive.” – Clare

“We comforted each other during the most painful of times. Even when we became half-human, half-Yoma, and pain ran through our entire bodies, we were able to fall asleep by holding onto each other.” – Clare

“I promise you. I will not die. I will survive this day and meet you again. So, you can’t die either, Raki. I will find you. You need to survive until then.” – Clare

“From the moment I first saw you, you’ve looked so sad. Your face shows so much pain. Your eyes were like mine. They looked so sad, so hurt, so lonely…as if you couldn’t stand it.” – Clare

“You said I should have forgotten everything and lived as a human, but… there’s no way I could do that. At that time, Teresa was everything to me. Everything I lost… my life, my voice, even my joy in living… Teresa gave those back to me. Teresa gave me everything. So I had no choice but to move forward. I wasn’t strong enough to forget all that and continue living.” – Clare

“Number Forty-Seven in the organization, Clare, the successor of Teresa’s flesh and blood, the bearer of Ilena’s right arm, and the one who will hunt down the head of the one-horned monster, Priscilla.” – Clare

Teresa Quotes

“Even if it’s a rule… whether or not I follow it is up to me. Whether I obey the rule or break it and get killed by my comrades… is my choice.” – Teresa

“It’s hardly profound. The reason is very simple: I’ve found a reason to live. From now on, I’m going to live for the girl.” – Clare

“You can come after me as many times as you want. I’ll cut you down every time.” – Teresa

“This young girl, whose small body is only half the size of mine, has taught me that tears can flow from these silver eyes.” – Teresa

“Say your prayers, wretches. Filth like you is even lower than Yoma. I’m going to kill… every last one of you.” – Teresa

Phantom Miria Quotes

“The Organization that makes our bodies like this…and disposes of us like that after we’re of no use…I cannot forgive them.” – Miria

Galatea Quotes

“Don’t cry. It will make your face even uglier.” – Galatea

“This might come a little late but… you people make me sick.” – Galatea

“Looks like most of what you say immediately vanishes from your head once you say it. I really envy you for a brain with such a lively metabolism.” – Galatea

Orphelia Quotes

“Well done. You win. As promised, I entrust you with everything. After all I can’t do any more at this point anyways. Man, this really annoys me. I really hate people, who put their life on the line like you.” – Orphelia

“It’s truly infuriating… I despise people like you who put their own lives in jeopardy for some glorious, hopeless cause.” – Orphelia

“This is called the “Rippling Sword”. “Rippling Ophelia”… Great name, don’t you think? But it’s not too well known yet. Because most of the people who’ve seen it are dead.” – Orphelia

“Really! How marvellous! You two are simply marvellous. Which one of you should I kill? Which one of you would be more fun to watch as you wail in agony?” – Orphelia

“Don’t you think it’s beautiful? That rosy red that spreads only where the body is wounded. Shall I paint you in that lovely red… little boy?” – Orphelia

“The idea that you can’t die yet because you still have something to protect… that is the foolish illusion of the weak.” – Orphelia

Father Vincent Quotes

“Shame on me for worrying about my own safety even though I am a servant of God. But you…a damned slayer who is forbidden to step foot in this city, are worried about the boy you brought more than your own life.” – Father Vincent

Jean Quotes

“I already lost this life. I do not intend to stretch it out at the cost of my honor.” – Jean

“I had my life saved by Clare. In what way are our ranks relevant to that fact?” – Jean

Raki Quotes

“My family got killed. The town…cast me out. Everything I loved, everything I knew, I lost it all at once. That’s why…I’m happy I got to travel with you…That’s why…I just want to be with you. That’s why…if you die, I’m going with you.” – Raki

“There’s a certain person I want to protect…no, I just want to stay by her side. That is why I want to have enough power to make her not worry about me anymore, and if possible, enough power to save that person.” – Raki

Irene Quotes (Quick Sword Ilena)

“Teresa had plenty of chances to kill Priscilla. The reason she didn’t was that after being with you, Teresa’s heart lost the toughness of a warrior. The Teresa I knew would have dispatched Priscilla without hesitation at their first encounter. After she met you, she was no longer fit for battle. That’s why she died. That’s the truth. But I think Teresa was happy.” – Teresa

“Live, Clare! Your staying alive is the only proof that Teresa ever existed.” – Irene

“Everyone around her respected her, yet feared her. You loved her as she was, and she accepted it.” – Irene

“Seeing the same thing at that time and place, either moving forward or running away… I suppose that’s what separates those who are fit for battle from those who are not.” – Irene

Deneve Quotes

“Remember, you have comrades. us, who will support you with the things you can’t do all by yourself. That’s what a team is about, Commander Undine.” – Deneve

Ritful Quotes

“Being thrown away by humans, devoted to them even though you aren’t one of them… and once they are finished with you, they have you end your life yourself… and not even an ounce of gratitude for all that. On the contrary: for your whole life you are hated and reviled. It really is idiotic. We are a different species after all. Once you start seeing things that way, it all becomes very easy to accept. Do humans shed tears for the birds, pigs, cows and sheep that become their food? Of course they don’t. They are a different species after all. That is nature. That is the truth. That is Providence. Your way of thinking up to now was the warped one.” – Ritful
