Kenshin Himura — memorable quote from Rurouni Kenshin

“It's my belief that powers aren't meant to hurt people. Nor are they meant to make others happy.”

“Not all people in prison are criminals”

“You did it because you had to protect someone else. In medicine, there are times when you must pick who lives and who dies. Of course, that doesn't mean it's okay to kill someone if you have a good reason. But everyone involved has the right to consider the lives they saved. You have the right. You have the right to save yourself, by thinking of the people you've saved.”

“It is not society that determines people's futures. It is people who determine society's future.”

“You're wrong. It's not the world that's messed up; it's those of us in it. Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans, we can choose a different path altogether. We have a lot to learn, both your kind and mine. We need to stop fighting, and start talking. Because when it comes to the state of the world, you can't point your finger at ghouls or humans. We're all to blame.”
