“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.”
“When one person kills, resentment is born. That resentment makes a person kill again. To sever that vicious cycle--that is the purpose of this sword that cannot kill.”
“If fighting could provide us with the truth, nobody would make any mistakes in their lives. A person's life is not that easy. The truth you must learn from yourself, from how you live your life.”
“Enduring and forgiving are two different things. You must not forget the unjustness of society. As a human being, you must hold the event in contempt. Yet, you must endure. You must put an end to the chain of hatred!”
“There's no advantage to hurrying through life.”
“The way of the sword doesn't belong to any one nation. Knowledge of the arts belongs to us all.”
“If you think music is only made of sounds, you're mistaken. Silence is also part of music.”
“Everyone has an equal right to live. If you have more than others, you should share with those who have less. If you feel happier than others, help those in need. That is the duty of those who are given so much.”

“People are stupid. If I don't do this, there will be no peace. Eventually, time will pass and the pain will heal. Eventually, checkmate's power will weaken and people will begin fighting again. This time, they will use the weapon themselves and once more know true pain. And for the short time, peace will come again. It will give birth to short period of peace within this endless chain of hatred. That's my wish.”
“Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war... Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something that only humans could do. They're two sides of the same coin... to protect something... another must be sacrificed.”
“What does it take to end a war? Well, if both sides wish for peace and set aside their hatred... No. Warfare is nothing but a means of negotiation between states. Wars break out even when there is no hatred. Territory, resources, or interests that you are determined to own. Ideology, religion, pride. Wars are fought over those objectives all the time. Meaning that when those objectives are met, the war will end. That, or the war will end when the human cost outweighs the gains. Anger and hatred are only tools to tilt a war in your favor. I'm not interested in those emotions. So I wouldn't hate anyone just because they're Martian.”
“There are many different ways to solve a problem. But once it's solved, we must live our lives. Which means we should choose not the simplest solution, but the one that will allow us to feel the most at peace once it's done.”
“I hate it when knowledge is misused by people who have lost sight of reality, due to biased perceptions and prejudices. It is the source of misunderstanding, ignorance and conflict. I want us to understand each other.”
“Fragility is always lurking behind our peaceful day-to-day life. Terrible things don’t only happen in places far beyond our reach.”
“I am content with just being a flower, blooming and withering away… that’s all I ever needed.”
