“Put a steel mask on your face and armor on your heart.”
“Tell you what… I’ll carve you up until you find yourselves cursing the fact that you have such resilient bodies.”
“I want nothing more than to be a bayonet; a bayonet wielded by the hand of God. I would have been happy to be born a storm, or a divine threat; a mighty explosion or even a terrible hurricane. A divine force of nature without heart or pity. And if this relic can transform me into such a thing...then I am happy to abandon my humanity.”
“<About Ciel> He turns his back towards the light without hesitation. That figure that charges into the abyss at a dignified pace. How beautiful and foolish.”
“I always believed that everyone in this world was far nicer and smarter than me. That no matter how unlikeable they seemed to be, they still had a good conscience and had justifiable circumstances for acting the way they did. That’s why I hated myself for being so timid and depressed when I didn’t even have any good reason for doing so. …But now I see that there actually are people who’re despicable in every way and don’t blink twice at ruining another’s life. Now that I think about it, it’s almost strange. Why don’t most people try to kill other people? How can they just stand by and let the scum have their way without the slightest indifference? Maybe my expectations were too high. I’m only disappointed because I expected something from them. But the answer was quite simple all along. There’s no such thing as a decent human being in this world. Not a single one. I did what I had to do. And I feel quite refreshed after doing it. That’s why I can say that this world could afford to be a little more chaotic.”
“Dreams. Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?”
“While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams.”
“You can't extract a god out of a human. However, by kowtowing to the thing that is considered to be a god, it is possible to create a god and shove it down the throats of people.”
“Despair to the ones who become swelled with pride.”
“But the mass we call "world" keeps turning, ignoring our individual desires.”
“Shut up! I did what I had to do. People lie to survive. No one is blameless.”
“Death may be my only freedom.”
“It's not a crime if no one knows about it.”
“You find a glimmer of hope, only to lose it. That is when your despair tastes the most divine.”
“There's no telling when this war will end. No matter how many troops the country deploys, the desert just absorbs them like water. We suffer, conquer, and what's left? Nothing but sand.”
“People die. Things break down. Nothing is unbreakable. And of course, I will break as well.”
“Everyone has desires they can't tell anyone about. It goes without saying.”
“People are beings where a love of what's right goes hand in hand with a desire to do all manner of evil acts.”
“There is no way to train your heart to be invulnerable.”
“Bonds that are too strong create flaws over time.”
