“If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it’s wired into the core of our being.”
“It's not like I had aspirations to be a hero or anything. However, I'm positive we followed a code of justice that all of us believed in without condition or compromise.”
“Who can gaze into the mirror without becoming evil? The mirror does not reflect evil, but creates it.”
“Just as water runs downhill, the human heart also tends to revert to its basest instincts.”
“Life is like a node which is born within the flow of information. As a species of life that carries DNA as its memory system... man gains his individuality from the memories he carries. While memories may as well be the same as fantasy... it is by these memories that mankind exists.”
“And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?”
“All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.”
“There has never been a report about a stomach ache or any other related medical trauma from swallowing your pride.”
“I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries.”
“Life perpetuates itself through diversity, and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary.

“There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience.”
“If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.”
