Rei Ayanami — memorable quote from Neon Genesis Evangelion

“The second humans lose their comfort zone, the more simplistic their actions become.”

“For some time researchers have understood that moderate stress has beneficial effects. It boosts the immune system for example. Stress motivates and prepares us for action. It compels our body to survive. However, routine psycho pass checks take away the stress from us. There are patients whose stress reaction is so numb, they can’t even recognize the basic stimulation of their senses. Once that happens, it’s a neurological downward spiral, they become like living corpses. Eventually their autonomic nervous system stops working and their vital functions shut down.”

“A misty moonlight night washes over the land and though darkness ebbs with the glow of the full moon, shadows still remain. They conceal an evil which exists just beyond our grasp. Sides are chosen. Lines are drawn, ones that we dare not cross. But in the distance a ray of light shines to expose our path. It is then that we realize that some things in life are better left unseen.”

“In this world, who knows who might kill who.”

“We think the flower on the precipice is beautiful, because our fear makes our feet stop at its edge, instead of stepping forward into the sky, like that flower.”
