This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Here's one of my favorite quotes, totally absurd:
Touga: All right, eat as much as you wish, since this is your last meal.
The two others are quoted by Maarika in her first message here.
BTW, the whole episode 23 I regard as the best in the series so far (I've just finished watchig 34th). Perfect animation, perfect editing, perfect music, and of course eternal plot of achiving the eternity.
Mikage stuck in 2046 seven years before Takuya Kimura did.

"Good Morning, your twin sister looks exactly like you, but I think you may be even cuter." :Touga talking to Miki just after messing about with Kozue: (English dub)
If I were Miki I would be VERY worried right about now
Series Script
Utena: Is that what she calls a boyfriend?
Miki: I have no idea.
Saionji: However cruel, as long as he is with the only one he loves, he will be happy. That's another form of love, as love can take many forms. And I'd say this love between Anthy and I is a secret love... A secret love...
Utena: Nobody's listening to you.
There isn't all that much love for the Saionji is there?

I really love this one of Mikage:
"Tokiko-san, you don't have to regret the fact that you deserted me."
However, I personally prefer the Italian version:
"Mia cara Tokiko, non sentirti in colpa per avermi abbandonato."
And the Ruka's one when Juri is duelling Utena.
"Juri, she's a fool. Because she doesn't realize that her miracle is standing atop someone else's sacrifice. But that's the sort of person who receives miracles!"

Touga: Whaddya think? Pleasant vibrations aren't they?
Saionji: They're not moving me.
Touga: Really.
Saionji: You've got messed-up tastes. That's not good.
Touga: I take it you don't like it because I'm driving?
Saionji: What I don't like is being dominated.
(From the manga...not exact)
Utena: I'm glad you're such a gentleman!
Touga: Yeah, well I'm not glad.
Even though Manga!Touga is so nice it makes me ill.

I'm not that rusty. One of those is a completely unnecessary additional term of endearment.

Miki: This... this isn't Himemiya-san! Even worse, I hate myself for buying them!

Wakaba: You, that girl, the Student Council members... all of you look down on me. Without a care in the world, flaunting the power you all were born with! So, you all can so calmly... walk all over everyone else!
One of my favorites!
Kozue: Disappear, all of you! Except for Miki and me, all other things are ugly.
I edited it just to add this one. Because I love the slight-sadistic love she and Miki share.

A lot of my favorites have already been posted, but here are another few that haven't yet.
Anthy: In the end, all girls are like rose brides.
Shadow Girls: A girl who can't become a princess has no choice but to become a witch.
Akio: A child cannot understand the value of this room.
Nanami: What I want is to surpass everything. You after I win the duel, my brother, myself up until now, everything.

You all are going to agree that this is a good one...
Miki: You say "ally, ally," but...
Juri: ...it's not as if we are allies.
Nanami: Then, what are we?
Miki: We are...
Juri: ...Duelists.

A spot has opened up on my wall, and since I've nothing on me to put there, I've decided to make it a little Shiori area. So, I painted one of my favorite quotes from her there. (This one is from the English version as well. You know what? There are a lot of lines that I honestly liked better in the dub, probably because I prefered Shiori in the dub. I just like her voice more.)
"But now, now she and I are equal... No! I've beaten her! I'm the one who's always been there in her heart. I've beaten her in the end."
I'll probably end up painting the rest of her monologue as well.
Dub Shiori is my faveorite too. But I also love how Saionji sounds kind of like VIncent Price.
My Favoerite Quote is Shiori's little bit of Trochaic Tetrameter from the film.
It's the Owner of the Flower Bed.
The reason why her Roses grew, was to hide her brother dead
It's the Proof that I must show.
