Shijima Kurookano — memorable quote from Nabari no Ou

“I think that what people who've committed crimes need isn't punishment, but rather the knowledge of the pain of being forgiven.”

“Everyone has to decide for themselves which choice to make. If you fight, people may die... but if you don't fight, people may still die. There's no "right" or "wrong" choice to make.”

“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.”

“The gods have, since ancient times, created methods to test humans. The system God has created... it opposes all living creatures and splits the world. It condemns people to roles. Heaven pretends they can't see the suffering of the people. Only the lucky few find the way. The pain of those beings reaches deep into my heart. I want to counter this discrimination and extend a helping hand. In order to do that, the only thing that can be done is to create a new system! See... this is what God has wrought... I cannot allow such a system to continue! This is the will of my quarrel with Heaven. I would like you to come with me. If I had your help, even the weak-of-heart could have their wishes fulfilled. So that everyone can be equal and happy, I wish to reach out.”

“No matter the reason, I don't think anyone who loses consciousness in the battlefield has any right to survive!”
