The best anime quotes about despair.
“Humans don’t see what they don’t want to see. No one wants to be put down. That’s why people do nothing even when they do know something is happening.”
“If a person continues killing, their heart changes into that of a demon without them even noticing.”
“We mock their desperate wishes, and trample them like insects! Cowardly, base - we're more demonic than demons are! I'm just like them. I'm full of the same ugliness they were. This is how humans are. It's how we are, Sebastian!”
“People... humans are the being who look for happiness. What the Britannian boy, Lelouch, wanted to have was nothing but a small happiness. It's nothing special. At least at the root of his motives, there were only humble wishes that were simply natural to any human. Who could ever disclaim such dreams and such vows? Who could ever have the right to do that? However, whoever you might be, without choice, you have to deal with others and with the world, and have yourself be regulated and set down. Therefore, in the face of the world's wills, your personal speculations are so ephemeral they can't help being overwhelmed. Sins and punishments, destiny and judgment. What stands in front of Lelouch is the past he brought forth by himself. Is it a hatred resulting from the fact that humans are humans? Nonetheless, for now, we should be grateful... Yes, at least, to the fact that humans are the beings who look for happiness. A remaining piece of hope, a faint sign of wishes will be born from despairs.”
“You'll have some painful, despair-ridden experiences. In fact, most of them will be tragic. But we chose to walk this path. We'll take on the dirty work. And change the world. After we finish, we can disappear.”
“This is my darkness. Nothing anyone says can console me.”
“I realized it one day. The lyrics I struggled to create are only made up so I would have something to sing. Nothing genuine can come out of these flat and boring and ambiguous lives we're living, out of faking your worries for the sake of it.”
“The depths of despair…. I feel so calm here. I won’t be tricked by anyone anymore, and I don’t have to resent anyone. There’s nothing here. Not even loving. Nothing but to keep dancing until I die away.”
“People aren't all perfect. They're weak, ugly, and they get jealous and try to bring others down. Oddly enough, the better you are, the harder it is to live. That's why I'm going to change this world and the people in it...”
“The scariest thing about killing people is getting used to it! When you kill someone and realize you won't be punished... That's when people forget all about punishment!”
“We've got no light of hope in our future! Nothing is going to happen! Our lives will be as dull as rocks! Maybe it's a life of boring happiness! But I don't want to be an adult who pretends to be satisfied with it!”
“I think that no one wants to see others' sins.”
“You disappointed me. So I have to give you a punishment. Regret your helplessness and feel despair.”
“Dreams, ambition, love, hope; in this world, could the glories of a youthful heart be.. forbidden?”
“Dreams. Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?”
“Nothing can stay unchanged. Fun things… Happy things… They can’t possibly remain the same.”
