Quotes from Princess Tutu (TV, 2002) :: tagged "heart" :: trans. Sarah Alys Lindholm

Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a man who died. The prince and the raven from the man's story escaped from the story and fought. Their battle ended with the prince taking out his own heart and sealing the raven away by using its forbidden power. The prince, who had lost his heart, met a duck in a certain town. Because of her love for the prince, the duck turned into a princess and gathered together the lost shards of his heart. The prince gradually regained his feelings, and at long last, he was able to regain even the feeling of love. And they lived happily ever after. But did they really? After all, the princess is fated to turn into a speck of light and vanish the moment she tells the prince of her love for him.

Mytho: Your beautiful heart makes beautiful flowers bloom.

Drosselmeyer: All the shards of the prince's heart have returned to him!
Duck: What? Really? So right now, he's...
Drosselmeyer: That's right, he must be suffering right about now.

Mytho: When you've ripped out my heart, kiss it for me and dye your lips red with my blood.

Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a man who died. The story the man wrote was about a happy prince who loved everyone and was loved by everyone. The people fought, each wanting him to love them and them alone, and an evil raven pecked at their loving hearts one after another. The more the prince loved them and tried to save them, the more the people's love just fed the raven. In the end, the raven thought "I'd like to try eating the prince's heart, the most delicious one of all."
