The best anime quotes about dark themes.
“In this world, wherever there is light - there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars, and hatred is born to protect love.”
“Rush in there right now and break his hands and legs so he'll never be able to use them again. Make it so he won't be able to do anything without you anymore. Then he'll be yours. His heart, body, everything.”
“The flash of light I felt when I was stabbed in the heart. The overwhelming torrent of death and the beat of life. I always thought I had nothing, but there is still that simple thing left in me. This fear that sends a chill down my spine. I have to feel the most death I can to feel the happiness of life. For everything in my life I have ignored until now. But it probably would be impossible to die like I did that night. I probably cannot hope for such a striking end. That death pierced me like lightning, like a needle, like a sword. That's why I will try to come as close to that as possible. I don't have any idea right now but I still have a few days to think about it. And I've already decided on the method. I don't think I even need to say this, but I think my end should be a long fall from a place overlooking the world.”
“It's difficult to change someone's emotions, no matter how they are, so long as they are deeply engraved in the heart. I suppose hatred would be the hardest. Many people will say that hatred fades over time, but that doesn't mean it ever really goes away. It's still there. It's just hiding where you can't see it, and given the slightest chance, it will reassert itself. Now then, given hatred's persistence, what should you do if you can't get rid of it? The only possibility is to overwrite it with an equally powerful emotion – with an emotion as strong as hatred… Yes, those would be love and trust.”
“Well, hurting girls isn't one of my hobbies. That's why I'll make it my hobby to stomp on their cell phones. Hahahahahaha! I'm so bored of it now... it's no longer my hobby to stomp on cell phones.”
“Hatred and sorrow are power; they are yours to control. All you have to do is turn them into strength, and use that strength to move forward.”
“Our contracts are completely dependent upon you agreeing to them first. I think that, in and of itself, is quite kind of us.”
“You remind me so much of myself from the past. I also used to think that perseveration had some credits, that it was the best way to change the world... but with that alone you cannot accomplish anything. Without power, you're doomed to become dependent on others, that's the way the world works.”
“Then let me ask you, if your God would allow my madness to flourish across the globe, then wouldn't it seem to you that any god like that would be just as mad as I?”
“And so, the prince and the princess lived happily ever... Happily!? Happiness in stories is, at most, a trifling matter of a couple of lines at the end — the epitome of boredom. Now, show me a magnificent tragedy! A cataclysm of tears from which not one of the players is saved, and to which a happy ending never comes!”
“None of you will ever escape the curse, as I could not. Residents of the boxes like you could never gain anything. You will all simply disappear without leaving anything behind in this world. You won't even leave a fleck of dust behind - you will never be happy!”
“Everyone is alone. Everyone is empty. People no longer have need of others. You can always find a spare for any replacement. Any relationship can be replaced.”
“(to Kiritsugu) I shall not let you die easily. I shall use healing magic to regenerate your heart and lungs, while I rend every inch of your flesh. In pain and despair, you will die as you suffer. And while you die, you will curse them... You will curse the cowardice of those who hired you! You will curse the Einzbern's for disgracing the Holy Grail War!”
“Don't judge people from the outside. Like any rose has thorns, the more the person appears nice on the outside, the more you should doubt the inside.”
“It's a rule that I've had in my life. Kill anyone who calls me "Dirty Red".”
“I am the alienated, the ridiculed, the despised. No need to praise my name. No need to envy my body. I am the shadow under the radiance of heroic spirits. Birthed of the darkness of glorious legend. And so, I hate, I resent. Nourished by the sighs of the people precipitated within the darkness, people that curse the light. This is my disgrace. Because of her unsullied glory, I must forever be belittled. You are, the sacrifice. Good, give me more, your blood and flesh, your life. Let them ignite my hatred!!”
“Humans who lose the capacity to think become creatures who's existence has no value. Think, you humans who are split into two worlds, unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion, you must think!”
“Everything you've been taught is based on theories and logic. Soon, you'll come to realize how pointless they are.”
“Do you know how many civilizations are crowded together in the universe and how much energy is used up in one second? Eventually, you humans, will leave this planet as well, and join us. You wouldn't want to be handed an empty, desolate universe then, would you?”
