“Love and the human mind can't be analyzed with formulas. It's not so unusual for love to make you forget the sense of care and respect for others. There's no logic. It's an uncontrollable urge. To tell you the truth, it’d be worrisome if you became like that. Your mind is keen, and your character is good. But passion has nothing to do with mind or character.”

“Children don't grow up looking at perfect parents. Rather, using their imperfect parents as anti-teachers, children nourish a spirit of independence.”

“What would you ask a grave, which can never reply? What do you pray for? Saying anything after someone's death is far too late.”

“Perhaps in this universe, there exists a solitary, absolute truth. Perhaps it clarifies every question. But that’s beyond the reach of these short hands.”

“It's better trusting someone than to die doubting people altogether.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who eat the things they hate first, and those who eat them last.”

“Admiration is admiration. It's the same as viewing flowers from afar. When you get too close - it becomes like Icarus, who lost his wings and plunged into the earth after flying too close to the Sun. Disaster befalls oneself.”

“Be as swift as the wind. Be as quiet as the forest. Attack as fiercely as the fire. Be immovable like a mountain. Move like the lightning. Be as impenetrable as a shadow.”

“Time does not exist. Only the illusion of memories exist.”

“Maybe humans are capable of committing far more shameless acts than they imagine they are. If they hadn’t faced adversity, they might have gone without discovering such ugly facets of themselves.”

“If all humans were saints and sages, all truths would be exposed. And every just cause, expedient, ideal, and lie would no longer be necessary, yes?”

“Dictatorship itself isn't absolutely evil, it's just another form of government. The point is how you can run it for the benefit of society.”

“The strength of life lies in the possibility of dying.”

“The brain is a microcosm, creating its own stories. People then live out these stories.”

“It's a foolish thing, the human heart. Sometimes we fail to operate logically, and act on emotions.”

“Someone who cannot hate something, cannot love something, either.”
