The best anime quotes about war.
“With Roku gone and the Great Comet returning, the timing was perfect to change the world. I knew the next Avatar would be born an Air Nomad so I wiped out the Air Temples, but somehow the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain.

“Kira... fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals! Brilliant as he is, he is also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him, but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back! I have to reason with him! Kira is still a fellow Coordinator! I'm positive that he'll come around to our way of thinking.”
“Nobody is ever born into this world as a soldier.”
“It's simple. Even a single Coordinator is a threat to the Earth's survival, and our goal here is to get rid of them all!”
“Seems appropriate for Nicol. A weapon fit for a coward.”
“I can't exactly fight a war with a big smile on my face.”
