In the Eden of the East opening, there are a lot of quotes from different
sources. The only one I know the origin of is "The abuse of greatness is when
it disjoins remorse from power," which is from _Julius Caesar_ by William
Shakespeare. I don't know what the other quotes that show up on the screen are
from or are in reference to. Can someone tell me?

What are all of the quotes in the OP of Eden of the East from?


This [blogpost](http://stevegilham.blogspot.com/2009/07/anime-eden-of-
east.html) has a transcript of all of the text from the opening. Not all of
them are famous quotes.

> " _I saw you in Heaven and heard of your glory You saved our world from the
> fallen angels I saw Messiah standing Standing before me with no words
> Nothing but "Hope" When we lost dread, a Demon was laughing But now you are
> showing us wonder Giving your love With awe, down on my knees again I've got
> to know you're the one The only one reveals the world_ "

This is repeated multiple times throughout the OP and seems to be part of the
song [東のエデン挿入歌「Reveal The World」](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO28pvdkyJI)

> " _The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power._ "

As you've noted, it's [Brutus from Julius Caesar, by William
Shakespeare](http://quotationsbook.com/quote/17932/).

> " _Mail  
>  Own date  
>  Media tool  
>  Appli  
>  Camera  
>  Phone book  
>  Iseg  
>  Music  
>  Service  
>  Setting  
>  You've got mail  
>  Calling  
>  Talking_"  
>

These seem to be options (partially obscured) of the phone.

> " _Let me walk with you when I'm lost in the wild I know you always lead me
> to another Eden Let me bless your name, O Lord, O Lord Your words will never
> fade away Since we believe you're the light on earth Reveals the world_ "

Also from the "Reveal the world" song lyrics.

The rest seems to be proper names and instances from the show itself, like "
_noblesse oblige_ ", and " _Juiz_ ", and " _Selecao system 12 persons selected
in Japan_ ". So the only real quote I guess is from the Julius Caesar play.

Taken from this case noblesse oblige means, "I nobly oblige myself". Otherwise
it means the obligations of nobility.
