2->''That sword needs its own ZIP code!''
3-->-- '''Syrus''', ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''

5->''"That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of Iron."''
6-->-- ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', narration describing Guts' Dragon Slayer
7
8->'''Rickert''': What's this?\
9'''Erica''': Oh, that? The ''Dragon Slayer''.\
10'''Rickert''': Dragon Slayer...?\
11'''[[TheBlacksmith Godo]]''': A king sent out a proclamation long ago to bring him a sword that could kill a dragon, and so the lord put me on the job. At that time I'd gotten sick of doing work for nobles. "Make 'em refined, make 'em elegant..." Swords are just large butcher knives, after all. Tools meant for ''killing'' people. And so I forged it, as it was ''described''. A sword that could butcher...a ''dragon''.\
12'''Rickert''': S-so then?\
13'''Godo''': I almost got hung out to dry. So I ran away from the castle town, and I've lived here quietly since. I sure was ''young'' back then. Mighty things, things that could kill, that's all there was for me. But if anyone could handle ''this'', it'd still just be a hinderance. I don't like losin' track of the essence of a tool, but that's exactly what I did here. Now it's a good reminder.\
14'''Rickert''': Can it... kill one? Could this really kill... a dragon?\
15'''Godo''': If there ''were'' any dragons. But you know, this ain't even what you'd call a sword. It's a meaningless slab of iron you can't even lift, for killin' dragons and monsters that ain't even real. Your friend looks like he's about to fight a dragon, though. Seems to want to fight even after losing his hand and eye. He ain't up to the job, is he? Dragons are dragons because humans can't ''beat'' 'em.

31->''The greatsword is an easily misunderstood weapon. A novice feels the heft and striking power of the weapon, and concludes that it rewards pure force. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is an indescribably complex tool, a lever and a thrusting wedge, and especially against a brute like Raximar, not a big metal club to be swung around as hard as you can.''
32-->-- '''Ob Nixilis''', ''[[https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/ur/first-world-hardest-2014-11-05 The First World is the Hardest]], TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''

48->''Fury take me, the way that heretic swung that slab of iron he called a sword was a sight to behold! He couldn't have carried a shield if he'd wanted to, the blade was so big. Had to keep two hands on it at all times! I was amazed he managed to keep up with that Temple Knight for as long as he did.''

62->''"You see, 'cause, right now, [[LampshadeHanging this is the part in any RPG ever where you have to kill God.]] It's pretty rad. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday I love killing God; I do it every day.]] You know, some people have breakfast. [[BadassBoast I kill God, with my super giant... house-sized sword, you know.]] It's, uh... I have like three mortgages on it. Two families could live in it, but instead I use it as a weapon. It's pretty rad."''
