Silent Hill is a horror-survival video game series, centred around the dark and mysterious fictional town of Silent Hill. Each game follows a character who is somehow connected to Silent Hill (Heather), or searching for someone or something located within the town (Harry, James).

Harry Mason

• "I don't know who you are or what you're trying to do, and I don't care. Just one thing. Let Cheryl go. That's all I ask."

• "Have you seen a little girl? She just turned seven last month. Short, black hair. My daughter."

• "Cheryl? Is that Cheryl?! Hey wait! Stop!"

• "Huh?! Radio? What's going on with that radio?"

• "This may sound really off the wall, but listen to me. You've got to believe me. I've not gone crazy, and I'm not fooling around. At first I thought I was losing my mind. But now I know I'm not. It's not me. This whole town. It's being invaded by the other world. A world of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life. Little by little the invasion is spreading. Trying to swallow up everything in darkness."

Cybil Bennet

• "The phones are all dead, and the radios too. I'm going back to call in some reinforcements."

• "Take this, and hope you don't have to use it. Now listen to me; before you pull the trigger, know who you're shooting. And don't do it unless you have to. And don't go blasting me by mistake, got it?"

• "I'm sorry, the only person that I saw is you."

• "Darkness? Must be on drugs."

Dahlia Gillespie

• "The town is being devoured by darkness!"

• "You want the girl, right?"

• "My daughter will be the mother of God!"

• "It was foretold by Gyromancy!"

Michael Kaufmann

• "Thank God. Another human being."

• "Did you see those monsters? Have you ever seen such apparitions? Ever even heard of such things? You and I both know, creatures like that don't exist."

• "Is your daughter? I'm sorry."

Cheryl Mason / Alessa Gillespie

• "Daddy, help me! Daddy, where are you?"

• "No. I don't want to. I want to be with you, mom."

Mary Shepherd-Sunderland

• "Thank you for saving me... But I wish you hadn't. Even Mama said it. I deserved what happened."

• "You see it too? For me, it's always like this."
  • Final words before disappearing.

Eddie Dombrowski

• "Besides, he was making fun of me with his eyes!"

• "Do you know what it does to you, James? When you're hated, picked on, spit on, just cause of the way you look. After you've been laughed at your whole friggin' life. That's why I ran away after I killed the dog. Ran away like a scared little girl. Yeah, I killed that dog. It was fun. It tried to chew its own guts out! Finally died all curled up in a ball. Then 'He' came after me, I shot him too. Right in the leg. He cried more than the dog! Haha! He's gonna have a hard time playing football on what's left of that knee."

• "Don't get all holy on me, James. This town called you, too!"

• "It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty...it's all the same once yer dead! And a corpse can't laugh."

• "Killin' a person ain't no big deal, just put the gun to their head... POW!"

Maria

• "James, honey, did something happen to you? After we got separated in that long hallway? ...Are you confusing me with someone else?"

• [laughs] "You were always so forgetful. Remember that time in the hotel?"

• "I'm not your Mary."

• "I am.... If you want me to be."

• "It doesn't matter who I am. I'm here for you James... See... I'm real."

• "When will you ever stop making that mistake? Mary's dead. You killed her."

• "What? You must be joking. But I can be yours... I'll be here for you forever... And I'll never yell at you, or make you feel bad! That's what you wanted! I'm different from Mary... How can you throw me away?!"

• "No. I won't let you. You deserve to die too, James!"

• "I look like Mary don't I? You loved her right? Or maybe... you hated her."

• "'Anyway'? What do you mean 'anyway'? You doesn't sound very happy to see me! I was almost killed back there! Why didn't you try to save me?"

Laura

• "I don't know! Maybe I did!"

• "You didn't love Mary, anyway!"

• "Are you blind or something?"

• "I hate you, James!"

• "She was always waiting for you... why... why..."

Other

• "Through the ritual of the holy Assumption, he built a world. it exists in a space separate from the world of our Lord. More accurately, it is within yet without the Lord's world. ...Unlike the world of our Lord, it is a world of extreme Flux. Unexpected doors and walls, moving floors, odd creatures, a world only he can control... Anyone swallowed up by that world will live there for eternity, undying. They will haunt that realm as a spirit. how can our lord forgive such and abomination...? ... it is important to travel lightly in that world. He who carries too heavy of a burden will regret it..."
