“They don't know that once you lose something, you can never get it back again.”
“I've continually fought, and with each battle I've been killing my own heart. And my heart has been completely void of feeling for quite a long time now. Maybe my life doesn't have value anymore, but I have to keep on living.”

“(To Ichigo Kurosaki) You are a fool, Ichigo Kurosaki. You willingly seek to challenge an opponent so much more powerful than you that it strikes a primal fear into your being. Incomprehensible. If this is the work of the 'heart' that you people speak of, then it is because you possess this 'heart' that you humans bring hurt upon yourself, because you possess this 'heart' that you lose your lives”
“Where in this world can a sane man be found? We're the same. We're all the same. None of us understands what it means to love all. Or the meaning of life...Or the meaning of death...Or the meaning of our own battles.”
“We humans are miserable creatures. We reject what we fear. We attack because we don' t understand. Human cowardice... breeds war.”
“Hope is harmony. A just heart, moving toward the light. That is all. Despair is hope's polar opposite. It is messy and confusing. Despair swallows up love, hatred, and everything else. Because not knowing where you will end up is despair. Despair is what even you cannot predict. Only despair's unpredictability will save you from a boring future.”
