The best anime quotes about philosophy.
“A sin, once committed, is never forgotten. It haunts you for all eternity.”
“Don't try to excuse yourself by saying you're doing it for someone else's sake.”
“No one's more aware of discrimination than the ones being discriminated against, huh?”
“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.”
“When there is evil in this world that justice cannot defeat, would you taint your hands with evil to defeat evil? Or would you remain steadfast and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?”
“Violence, greed, slaughter, corruption, defeat, failure, immorality, humiliation… These are everywhere. As long as you live, you will face them.”
“The truth is the truth, regardless of whether it comes out of a genius' mouth or a commoner's.”
“The ones who aren't able to acknowledge their own selves are bound to fail.”
“The second humans lose their comfort zone, the more simplistic their actions become.”
“Being hurt on the outside is better than being hurt on the inside.”
“People who grow up in different environments will invariably have different tastes and preferences. Therefore, could one say that the subsequent marriages necessarily lead to happiness?”
“An idiot that knows he's an idiot, is even harder to deal with than an idiot that thinks he isn't.”
“The world has too many heroes. It needs a monster.”
“Anime - it's not something that can be thought of in a hall for conferences. It is made out of strange juices current from the brain of animators.”
“A beast in human's clothing understands better than anyone how people want to be treated.”
“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.”
