Spike Spiegel — memorable quote from Cowboy Bebop

“When surviving today is so simple and matter-of-fact people tend to forget. They forget what it means to eat a pig. They say all life is equal, but how much life is consumed to keep them alive everyday?”

“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.”

“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.”

“This epidemic leads innocent people to their deaths, and yet it's pathogen will never be eradicated. This is a disease called serenity, a form of death that people have wished for.”

“Let those who seek death find it.”
