Zitate und Sprüche von Neuvillette

I find that the, um... beauty of bright sunlight is best appreciated from the indoors through a window.

Some days, my mind wanders, and I fantasize about walking into the rain...

Animals can survive for weeks without food, but merely a few days without water. There is no dish that could ever compare to pure, unadulterated water.

When the tide comes in, I shall return...

Fontaine does have some rather intriguing laws on its books. For instance:
"It is forbidden to release any flying objects during the first three days of each month."
"During the dry season, all bivalves that wash ashore belong to the Hydro Archon, while other mollusks belong to the people."
"No domestic pets shall be named after Furina."
"Tomato ketchup is to be consumed in restaurants only as a condiment, never on its own."
And, finally: "Melusines are to be addressed using she/her pronouns, never the impersonal it/its"
That last one was my personal contribution.

Abandoned property belongs to whoever finds it first. So it's legally yours now.

From my observations, humans have a tendency to view themselves as being in opposition with nature. And whenever this point is raised, someone is always quick to respond by declaring that humans are in fact a part of nature, like any other organism. To someone like me, however, who knows an inkling of the truth, what would be most beneficial is if human civilization and the natural world of this planet could seek ways to co-exist with one another.

Snow is in fact one of water's natural self-cleansing mechanisms. But human activity tends to reduce snow's purity, so do not consume it.

What's that saying again... "A bolt from the blue"? Yes, yes, I believe that captures how it feels to me.

Ah, it's past noon. You must be looking forward to your afternoon tea or coffee break? I certainly am.

I see the value in my own work, but I also see the meaning in all the endeavors of the people of Fontaine. I believe I will continue to take pride in fulfilling my duties.

Greetings. I am the Chief Justice, or "Iudex" of Fontaine, but you may simply address me by using my surname, "Neuvillette." Not because I wish to keep my distance from you... No, I am merely conscious that being overly familiar may bring the impartiality of the judiciary into question in some people's eyes.

Good night. I am quite fond of the image of a perfectly still body of water, and it is on this note that I would like to wish you a peaceful, undisturbed sleep. May no waves of emotional distress ripple through your dreams tonight.

Good evening. I hope you have not encountered any unpleasantness today.

The time that I have spent living among the citizens of Fontaine, and traveling with you, has transformed my views. Even though before this I has pardoned the sins of humanity long ago, I can promise you that my future judgments will not cause any harm to the common folk. That being said, my grievances with the usurpers have yet to be settled... They owe a debt of blood that shall not be forgotten.

Since you hail from beyond the stars, I invite you to be my witness as I judge this upended world. "This realm dismantled was of the Formidable Father himself, but what now reigns here is a cluster of filthy feathers. Though we live in a world of disarray, I shall undertake to restore all that has been broken."

Melusines are beautiful creatures. They are the pride of Fontaine. Be sure to befriend them, and cause them no harm.

I don't know how Sigewinne is faring these days. But if I hear so much as the whiff of a rumor that she's being bullied, I shall summon Wriothesley here and demand an explanation. She's so kind and vulnerable... She brought me some Kamera film the last time she visited, and asked to listen to more of my commentary on the water of Natlan... How long is it until her next vacation?

Clorinde's peerless skills have made her the most powerful Champion Duelist in our nation. As a successor to the Marechaussee Hunters of old, she plays a vital role in ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the courtroom. Also, she's actually not as stoic as she might appear.

You and my father are truly alike. You'd keep all kinds of things in your heart, and never say a word to anyone. It's not so much that you can't feel, but that you would never express anything.

In your eyes, the value of a human life is nothing compared to those cold laws you hold so dear.

The Chief Justice always feels strangely aloof, though his words are always humble... or perhaps he just doesn't like dealing with humans? After all, when he speaks with Melusines, he's actually quite friendly.

Monsieur Neuvillette rarely appears in public, almost as if he's intentionally trying to put some distance between himself and the people. At first, I thought it might be just me, but my ever-observant sister noticed it too, so I suppose that must really be the case.
