Ichimaru Gin — memorable quote from Bleach

“Are you afraid? You don’t want to die, do you? Not just Abarai, if anyone… acts upon the thought of not wanting you to die, you will suddenly begin to fear your impending death, right?”

“(To Ichigo Kurosaki) You are a fool, Ichigo Kurosaki. You willingly seek to challenge an opponent so much more powerful than you that it strikes a primal fear into your being. Incomprehensible. If this is the work of the 'heart' that you people speak of, then it is because you possess this 'heart' that you humans bring hurt upon yourself, because you possess this 'heart' that you lose your lives”

“I have no fear of watching you grow old while I remain young. I'll even watch you on your death bed. I am no stranger to death. But your heart is like that of an innocent child. It has always accepted everything about me, without hesitation. Because of that I am very afraid.”

“After everything I've faced.... Having a future with you snatched away from me ...is definitely the most terrifying thing I've ever had to endure....”

“The more battles we fought, the more our confidence grew. We weren't afraid of anything back then. But the difference between victory and defeat is paper-thin. We didn't realize this and were arrogant.”
