Naoko Takeuchi has written some absolutely wonderful dialogue throughout the manga series. Here you will find some of the (what I believe to be) very best sentences that fell.
Usagi Quotations
Volume 16
"No!" Usagi says. "They aren't enemies! The aura surrounding Seiya-kun, Jupiter, Mercury, it's the same as yours! Shining brightly with pride, protected by the stars! Silver Moon Crystal Power! Make Up!!"
"My body's heavy..." thinks Usagi. "It's like there's a fog before my eyes. Going ahead is scary... Why do I feel that way?"
"Quit it!" she cries, holding her head. "It's stuck in my ears... Seiya-kun's low voice... The pupils that seem to draw me in... I remember. He looks like... Mamo-chan."
Usagi stares out from the roof of Juuban High.
"Death, as a human."
"They're dead," she thinks. "Mamo-chan, Ami-chan, Mako-chan, Rei-chan, Mina-P... I can't believe it."
"Only their flesh is destroyed."
"Does death call so quickly and abruptly?
"All that is a sailor soldier is inside the sailor crystals," Yaten said.
"Were bodies not essential for us? I'm scared... What's going to happen to us now...?"
"It's my fault," she thinks. "I always drag everyone along into this destiny!"
Volume 17
"The existence of you and your Mystical Silver Crystal have upset history!" Safir said as he wrapped his hands around Usagi's neck.
Usagi gasps. "The whole time..." she thinks. "Everything, it was my fault... Everyone was drawn in for the power I carry. Battles occurred."
"Chibi-Chibi... You saved me, didn't you. I always felt it, the strength of your hand pulling mine. Thank you, Chibi-Chibi. Amazing, that I can have such faith in you. Could it be because you're a sailor soldier? Because you're an ally? Maybe you're an angel sent to me from everyone in the future. That's right... When I wake up, there are always friends watching over me."
"In every time," Usagi thinks, "my friends devote their lives to protecting me. But still, even though I'm grateful that I'm the soldier with the Silver Moon Crystal..."
"Put together, it's all up to me. And so now, I want to devote my life to restoring all my friends. Seiya-kun, Yaten-kun, Taiki-kun... We aren't the only ones worthy of sailor crystals. These bodies, too, are us. We are ourselves, body and all. They give us support, we live together. We look at them, call to them, embrace them. Our power is amplified by these bodies. Being with everyone, using strong power, that is a sailor soldier."
"Will your friends' bodies really return to normal?" Galaxia said. "Will the future you know, really come?"
"It will come," Usagi thinks. "I believe! They aren't all dead! Our future will surely come! I'll use all the power I can, and I will rescue everyone! I'll bring back peace! I'll put everything back to normal! Surely! Sailor Galaxia, what are you!? Why have you started this fight!? I must go, right away, to the place where Sailor Galaxia stands!"
"Why...!?" Usagi says. "Are you trying to kill me...?"
"Because you came here to lose everything."
"To lose my name, my life, everything..." Usagi thinks. "No, that's wrong. I don't want to lose everything. I had so many precious friends. My name, my life were for those friends. Those allies. Right, I'm not here to lose everything. I came here to bring back my allies..."
"But, Sailor Moon," says Lethe. "Is there a peaceful and happy future with you? A future where there is no war? Sailor Moon, the power you carry calls for war! As long as you exist, the wars will not end. From where we stand, the enemy is you! Whoever wins, the future will surely be the same. I will end this war now. I just want to have peace and happiness, together with Mnemosyne. That's all."
"If that will truly end the war," Usagi says, "kill me."

Seiya Quotations
Volume 16
"I am Seiya Kou," he says (addressing Haruka). "I like your style. It's like the wind. We carry the same things. I'd like to shake your hand."
Seiya and Taiki try to force Usagi to remember Mamoru's death. When she starts crying, Seiya holds her and kisses her. Later...
"Why do you care about that girl?" Yaten asks Seiya.
"Because she reminds me of her."
Volume 17
Seiya and Usagi are alone in Seiya's apartment. Seiya holds Usagi as she cries.
"I'm all right," Usagi says. "I won't cry anymore. The battle with Galaxia is approaching."
Seiya thinks: "Even now, you are burdened with such heavy wings". Out loud he says: "Princess Kakyuu, too. Her beloved was lost to Galaxia. Sailor Moon, whatever battles await you in the galaxy, we have power at your side." Seiya kisses Usagi's hand. "We will protect you."
"I wish that our flesh could last forever, too," Usagi says.
"I hope that we are reborn again," Seiya replies, thinking: "We are of different stations in the universe. It must be unrequited love, Seiya."

Usagi and Seiya Quotations
Volume 16
Usagi and the girls are at the Three Light's concert.
Can you hear my voice calling out
I love you so (Seiya stares into Usagi's eyes)
Where are you now
My lovely princess
Answer me
Minako looks over. "Usagi?"
Usagi stares at Seiya. "It's like my eyes just met with his..." she thinks. "Such a moving song..."
The sun is setting as Usagi walks out onto the roof of the school. She looks at the postcard.
"A faint orange star in the center," she says. "I wonder what its name is..."
"It's a man-made satellite."
Usagi turns.
Seiya points to a light in the sky.
"Wow," Usagi says. "It's so bright, you can see it. Do you like stars?"
"Yes," he says. "I do."
"Did you escape here from all your fans again? It must be tough, being mobbed even at school. I wouldn't think idols would have time to go to school. They'd be so busy."
"Anything, as long as we can sing..." he says.
"I feel... like I've met you somewhere before..." says Usagi.
"O- Oops," she thinks. "I shouldn't have said that, not to such a famous person."
"I- I..." she says. "I really like your Three Lights debut single. It's so moving... The song is pretty, and I still feel it in my heart."
"Your saying that," says Seiya, "makes me very happy. We wanted to sing this song, so we became singers."
"Remember!" Seiya says. "We don't have time! You have to hold on, or you'll lose this battle! Remember what happened to Jupiter and Mercury! What happened to your Mamoru!"
"Mamo-chan..."
The card shows Mamoru's body glowing.
Seiya pulls her close and kisses her.
Mamoru's body disappears, leaving a ball of light.
"I'm sorry," Seiya says. "I didn't want to hurt you..."
Volume 17
"I'm all right," Usagi says. "I won't cry anymore. The battle with Galaxia is approaching."
"You..." thinks Seiya. "Even now, you're burdened with such heavy wings."
"Princess Kakyuu, also," he says. "Her beloved was lost to Galaxia... Sailor Moon, whatever battle awaits you in the galaxy, we have power at your side." He kisses her hand. "We will protect you."
"Thank you," says Usagi. "If for some reason, I wasn't a sailor soldier... I wouldn't have friends helping me. I might not even have met them."
"All that is a sailor soldier is inside the sailor crystals," said Yaten. "The crystals of unknown power, the sailor crystals, won't disappear!"
"If for some reason the Silver Moon Crystal didn't exist, would I not have even been born...?"
She looks at Seiya.
"I wish our bodies could last forever, too..." she says
He slowly leans down and kisses her softly on the lips.
"I hope that we are born again," he says.
He gets up and walks to the door.
"It's late. I'll take you home."
"That's okay," says Usagi, holding Chibi-Chibi. "We can manage. ...Thank you."
Seiya watches the two leave.
"We are of different stations in the universe," he thinks to himself. "It might be unrequited love, Seiya."
"Your hand," says Seiya.
"That's all right!" says Usagi. "I don't want to be a burden, I'll manage."
"It's okay," says Seiya. "You're a princess. You should be protected."
