Genjo Sanzo — memorable quote from Saiyuki

“What a strange creature is man, who would cage himself so willingly.”

“You see, I really hate the word "responsibility" saying something or doing something "it's your responsibility" "take responsibility" making a "selection" always comes with "responsibility." That's why I abandoned "selection" therefore, I don't have to bear any responsibility anymore.”

“The souls that God has given us, our spirits. Our spirits, which found a way to swim through the immense network and live in the infinity of space. Is not the human body a mere shell? A form of existence all too small and weak for consciousness with such vast reach and potential.”

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

“Leave people to their own thoughts, and sooner or later they start questioning the powers that be. If you're in a position of power, the last thing you want folks to ask is whether or not the way things are, is the way they have to be.”
