Aizen Sousuke — memorable quote from Bleach

“No one fears death. They fear the life that leads up to death. If one could die without suffering, no one would fear death, right? Being alive is, itself, an exception. The natural state of things is death. And life is, itself, a kind of sickness. When the illness is cured, your life vanishes.”

“It's odd, isn't it? People die everyday and the world goes on like nothing happened.”

“Life and death are like light and shadow. They're both always there. But people don't like thinking about death, so subconsciously, they always look away from it.”

“Water, 35 litres. Carbon, 20 kg. Ammonia, 4 litres. Lime, 1.5 kg. Phosphorus, 800 g. Salt, 250 g. Niter, 100 g. Sulphur, 80 g. Fluoride, 7.5 g. Iron, 5 g. Silicon, 3g. And fifteen other elements. Those are the elements to make an average adult human body. You can buy these elemental ingredients at the market with the pocket money of a child. Humans are made so cheaply.”

“Humans can lie with words. And they can deceive with actions. You can't trust their eyes, voices, or expressions. But when they're about to die, their faces show the truth, no matter what.”
