Renji Yomo — memorable quote from Tokyo Ghoul

“Life's but a waking shadow. A poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. No matter how hopelessly they struggle in the light, they all die without meaning. Licht-tans's piano skills are amazing, but see... be it you or anyone, it's impossible to become anything. Human life is so meaningless...”

“If there is such a thing like happiness in this world, it should resemble the endless nothingness. Nihility is having nothing and having nothing to lose. If that isn't happiness... then what is?”

“The sorrows of life...To not be able to live like yourself. The joys of life...To be able to die like yourself.”

“If all life is so important, then the most evil of all beings on this earth are without a doubt humans. If there weren't any people on earth, the environment and conditions that all living things live in would be drastically better. Even if there were no school to teach us the stuff we know, it would still be obvious to everyone, wouldn't it? Just think of all that's happened to the earth due to our desires and ego.”

“Man fears death and yet, at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by men in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire.”
