Senjougahara Hitagi — memorable quote from Monogatari Series: Second Season

“People don't kill people, really. Monsters do. Monsters like war, hungry nobles, and greedy kingdoms. And monsters like me, not you.”

“I wonder if there really is a God... If such an entity really existed, wouldn't all honest, hard-working people be happy?”

“As long as humans are not virtuous beings, desire will always win over the fear of punishment. What’s necessary is not punishment, but to deal with that desire.”

“Survival of the fittest' is just a pretty lie that they tell you. A lie to make weak people believe that if they try their best, they can come out on top. Truth is, it isn't the weak that get eaten. It's not about strength, it's about numbers. The ones who stand at the top of the food chain are the brainless dolts. The loudmouths. Because there are so, so many of them. You know it's true. Everybody does. You all just turn a blind eye and pretend not to notice.”

“In this world, nobody is free. Even the flying birds are chained to the sky.”
