In a place so far away it seems like a dream, a resting place is waiting for me. I know it. My spirit will once again have a home, a place where sleep and night and stars are waiting for me. |

Hint #1:
spoiler[Rumored to be a monster who murders children and then assumes their identity, the speaker is actually part of a team of scientists who have come to Earth in search of someone important to them.] |

Damn, I know the source and context definitively now, but don't quite know the speaker. I'll get it if the next hint helps identify the speaker.

Ha, ha. The first time I wrote down this quote, I realized I couldn't even identify the speaker myself, or provide adequate context. Nor could I the second time, as it was the same scene, but in the next episode. It wasn't until the third time this quote, or one very similar(this seems to be the shortest version) appeared, that I could identify the speaker and provide actual context. This third appearance of this quote is the scene I am thinking about in regards to this game(and I will provide more context in the next hint) Is there a rule on this? A quote that appears more than once, spoken by the same character, but under different circumstances? |

Akaname,
From the rules:
So, I think you're okay, though I'm pretty sure the intent is that the quote is supposed to be reasonably unique and come from a single particular title. The more times it occurs, even within the same work, the less desirable it is as a quote. |

If it is the exact same quote all three times - or of striking similarity where it's almost the same and the meaning doesn't really change - then in my view you must accept an answer for any of the instances, not just a specified one. |

I agree with dtm42 - any instance should suffice, or simply saying that it is a catchprhase of the character, eg Nadie's "Got any last words, say 'em now." Odd that you should ponder this question, Akaname, when you protested my use of a repeated (or essentially similar) quote by the same character in Witch Hunter Robin on the grounds it disadvantaged people who hadn't watched that show beyond the first appearance of the quote.

Coming from a position of almost entirely knowing what it is, I think it's fine. It's more like an instance of 'the quote is said several times, but only the last time do you really understand the context and know explicitly who's talking'.

I'm also pretty close, but having trouble pinning down the exact scene and speaker.

Ha, stumbled on it right after posting that:
spoiler[Fantastic Children. Hasmodai, quoting Hermann Hesse, and applying it to their situation of wanting to complete their mission and return to their home planet of Greecia.] |

Congratulations Galap, you won fair and square. It took me too long to realise which show the quote was from and by then you'd already posted.

Haha, it seems like quite a few of us were hot on the case.
I'll post a quote tomorrow. |

Well, just to confirm it, Galap is correct. The scene I was thinking of is from episode 7, this isspoiler[ what Hasmodai was thinking, right before becoming overwhelmed by memories of a previous life during 16th century Romania.]
