Yukio Okumura — memorable quote from Blue Exorcist

“You'll have some painful, despair-ridden experiences. In fact, most of them will be tragic. But we chose to walk this path. We'll take on the dirty work. And change the world. After we finish, we can disappear.”

“Because of the existence of love - sacrifice is born. As well as hate. Then one comprehends... one knows PAIN.”

“As long as it's for the right cause, there's nothing wrong with playing dirty.”

“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.”
