Gene Smilas — memorable quote from Code Geass: Akito the Exiled - The Wyvern Arrives

“Kings do not become kings by themselves. If the poor raise up together, declaring that they don't want any money, kings will be overthrown. However, poor seek money so that they can become kings themselves. Which in turn only strengthens the position of the current king.”

“Only those who do their jobs on the battlefield get the rewards they desire. That's the life of a warrior.”

“The vampires don't really care about humanity in general. It's only specific humans like you that concern them... The kind of humans who will stop at nothing to acquire more power.”

“In the end, the best way to live down here is to be smart. You've got to be clever to survive.”

“The time is almost here. Go and lay the groundwork. A world where only true pirates can survive will soon be upon us. Those without power, flee while you can. The tide will bring those of unmatched power and the New Era will begin!”
