“Humans don’t see what they don’t want to see. No one wants to be put down. That’s why people do nothing even when they do know something is happening.”
“We mock their desperate wishes, and trample them like insects! Cowardly, base - we're more demonic than demons are! I'm just like them. I'm full of the same ugliness they were. This is how humans are. It's how we are, Sebastian!”
“No matter how many good deeds you perform, your past sins cannot be erased.”
“Do you know the truth of the battlefield? Kill a man normally, and it's considered a crime. But kill many on the battlefield and you become a hero!”
“War is merely one method of diplomacy. However, it is the least efficient one.”
“Only fools wage war.”
“The scariest thing about killing people is getting used to it! When you kill someone and realize you won't be punished... That's when people forget all about punishment!”
“You'll have some painful, despair-ridden experiences. In fact, most of them will be tragic. But we chose to walk this path. We'll take on the dirty work. And change the world. After we finish, we can disappear.”
“Everyone shows their true face on death's doorstep. Even a noble-minded gentlemen will cast away his principles to beg on the ground. Even a cordial and gentle lady will start cursing with a face like a demon's. Even a frivolous and humorous man will accept death without any punchlines... That is what I believe--The instant just prior to death is when all sorts of true natures will be revealed. Using fear and suffering leading straight to death, baring naked hearts to be admired at one's leisure... This is also one of the wonders of murder.”
“Regret is the domain of those who have earned the right to look back at the past. All I have is shame.”

“When some things contradict each other, you should look at the opposite side of everything. And when the meanings behind the seemingly unnatural actions are made clear, a completely different answer might be reached... Justice can become evil. Reality can become an illusion. Meaning can be found in something that appears meaningless. Think. And find the answer for yourselves. A human ceases to be once he or she stops thinking.”
“My will is society's will. My eyes are society's eyes. Since you vowed to respect the law, you cannot deny me... no matter how much you despise latent criminals.”
“That’s right. I’m nice. After everything that has happened in my life, I still haven’t gone after anyone or anything in revenge. If I were normal I would have destroyed the world by now. In a sense it makes me a savior of sorts.”
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, evil for evil.”
“Wrongly placed jealousy is ugly when it goes too far.”
“The weak always cling to words, and those with power die for those without it.”
