“Where do people stray off the path? When do they begin to obey their greed rather than their ideals? Or are ideals just prone to morphing easily into greed?”

“Where do people stray off the path? When do they begin to obey their greed rather than their ideals? Or are ideals just prone to morphing easily into greed?”
“The only people who make me feel remorse are those that do not possess any willpower.”
“Even if they're not your own child, you can't, as an adult, overlook their wrongdoings.”
“There certainly are things that cannot be told in words, but that can only be said by people who have exhausted their use of words. Words are like icebergs that are floating on the ocean called "heart". The parts that show above the sea surface are small, but they still let us perceive the larger parts that are hidden below the water. Use words deliberately. If you do, you'll be able to convey more things more accurately than if you were to keep silent. Right judgement can only be made with right information and right analyses.”
“Justice isn’t something that you can just proclaim. It’s a feeling you should keep near your heart.”
“Nobody will admire you just because you are strong. People respect the ones that choose the difficult path, even if they're weak.”
“It's not like I had aspirations to be a hero or anything. However, I'm positive we followed a code of justice that all of us believed in without condition or compromise.”
“What is evil? Is it the bad side of society? Breaking the Law? Indeed, those are evil, but the true essence of "evil" is different. Both justice and evil require you to carry out your own ego, in this there is no difference. It's simply a question about the majority against minority. In today's world, the majority follows the rules. That can't be helped. So does that mean we, the minority, are wrong? No. Even if it means the entire world is our enemy, we persist. That is "evil".”
“Instead of humans who lie and cheat each other to get richer, I prefer animals who hunt to survive.”
“Power is necessary, because conflicts continue to exist.”
“It's my belief that powers aren't meant to hurt people. Nor are they meant to make others happy.”
“Even if you're trying to protect someone, you must never use your power to hurt others.”
“Immersed in ecstasy from killing weak things... A burdensome corpse with no benefit to people. Someone like that... I can't possibly forgive!”
“I'm always being told that I don't understand other people's feelings, and also that I don't understand what others are thinking. And I agree. But... If you don't try to stem the tears of a girl crying out for help, you're the lowest kind of man.”
“"I'm different.", "It has nothing to do with me.", "It's all happening in a different world." Turning away from reality like that is just a kind of inadvertent malice...”
“You did it because you had to protect someone else. In medicine, there are times when you must pick who lives and who dies. Of course, that doesn't mean it's okay to kill someone if you have a good reason. But everyone involved has the right to consider the lives they saved. You have the right. You have the right to save yourself, by thinking of the people you've saved.”
“To take responsibility is to take pain onto yourself. It means to bear more pain than what others felt because of your mistakes! If you ruined someone's silver tableware, you must repay with gold tableware. The president of a polluting manufacturing plant must live beside the plant's chimney. That's what taking responsibility means. However the people in so-called high positions never see the consequences. When mistakes are made, they will casually bow their heads and apologize. They think that's enough. Are you one of them too?”
“I think there are some things that you have to do, even if they're a crime. Someone has to do them, even if it means taking the blame.”
“I'm not a hero because I want your approval. I do it because I want to!”
“It is right for me, but not for you. Either way, the concept of "right" means no more than that.”
