 * "About Zero being your classmate or about my Geass power? Which one has offended you?" -Lelouch

 * "Hear me Britannia! All you who have power, head my words carefully. I am burdened by sorrow. War and discrimination, malicious deeds carried out by the strong. The same abhorrent interplay between tragedy and comedy. The world has not changed. The people still suffer. That is why the resurrection of Zero was necessary. So long as the strong oppress the weak my rebellion will continue to grow. It begins today with the divine punishment I have wrought upon the inept and foolish Viceroy Calares... I shall fight against all those who abuse their power. Therefore, once again, here and now, I declare the establishment of the United States of Japan... Starting from this moment, this room shall be the first dominion of the U.S.J.... Race, ideology, and religion will not matter. Being a citizen will have but one requirement: to do that which is just." -Zero


 * "I cannot move a world by waiting. To find Nunnally and get her back I am going to need real power. power stronger than the emperor and Suzaku. I must seize that power and I will use my Geass to do it. With the United States of Japan as my starting point, I'll build a new world that's even greater than Britannia. But before I can do it I'll need to take care of him, my phony little brother, Rolo." -Lelouch (Preview for the next episode)
