Osa: Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living.
Hii-sama: You cannot change fate. However, you can rise to meet it, if you so choose.
Lady Eboshi: What exactly are you here for?
Prince Ashitaka: To see with eyes unclouded by hate.
Lady Eboshi: Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
San, The Princess Mononoke: Even if all the trees grow back, it won't be his forest anymore. The Forest Spirit is dead.
Prince Ashitaka: Never. He is life itself. He isn't dead, San. He is here with us now, telling us, it's time for both of us to live.
Jigo: These days, there are angry ghosts all around us - dead from wars, sickness, starvation - and nobody cares. So you say you're under a curse? So what? So's the whole damn world.
Moro: [dying words] Ashitaka... Can you save the girl you love...?
Kôhroku: [testing his arm] My arm... It doesn't hurt anymore. It's *healed!*
[bones crack]
Kôhroku: OW! No, it's still broken.
Moro: [about Ashitaka] You know, that boy wanted to share his life with you.
San, The Princess Mononoke: [burying her face in her fur] I hate him! I hate all humans!
San, The Princess Mononoke: Ugh, I smell like a human.
San, The Princess Mononoke: Ashitaka, you mean so much to me, but I can't forgive the humans for what they've done.
Prince Ashitaka: I understand. You'll live in the forest, and I'll help rebuild Irontown.
Lady Eboshi: Now watch closely, everyone. I'm going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life and death. The trick is not to fear him.
Toki: Thanks, stranger. My husband's an idiot, but I'm glad he's safe and sound.
Prince Ashitaka: That's a relief. I was starting to think I'd done something wrong by bringing him back home.
Moro: Ah, you're awake. I was hoping you'd cry out in your sleep, then I would have bitten your head off to silence you.
Jigo: When you're going to kill a god, let someone else do your dirty work.
messenger from Lord Asano: You ladies need to be taught some respect!
Female fire worker: Respect? What's that?
Female fire worker: We haven't had any respect since the day we were born!
[the women collectively give the messenger the "raspberry"]
