Erwin Smith — memorable quote from Attack on Titan

“If all life is so important, then the most evil of all beings on this earth are without a doubt humans. If there weren't any people on earth, the environment and conditions that all living things live in would be drastically better. Even if there were no school to teach us the stuff we know, it would still be obvious to everyone, wouldn't it? Just think of all that's happened to the earth due to our desires and ego.”

“We humans are miserable creatures. We reject what we fear. We attack because we don' t understand. Human cowardice... breeds war.”

“This is a world where people’s hearts are filled with hatred... where fingers have no purpose other than to pull triggers.”

“I've continually fought, and with each battle I've been killing my own heart. And my heart has been completely void of feeling for quite a long time now. Maybe my life doesn't have value anymore, but I have to keep on living.”

“Our world is like a terminal cancer. Saying you’ll change things through individual will is the rambling of a peace-loving fool. Why don’t you understand it’s too late for humanity?!”
