“Does this world feel like hell to you? Of course it does, because it is. So take it all in, don't even blink, Miroku. There's no place like hell! We made it so. With our lust, and greed. It always comes down to this. Life is desire. It's what we do. When desire meets desire, the stronger survives. The predator will eat the prey. It's dirty, and cruel. But just look around you, there is so much beauty in this truth. And yet you still look away. And you waste all your time alone in your head. Don't deny your desires. Hell is the real paradise. And we, my friend, are in paradise! Don't look away, Miroku!”
“Oh, please. This world is so entertaining because it doesn't do anyone's bidding!”
“If you want to run from your past, fine. But whatever you do, don't run away from your present or worse, your future.”
“Maybe there’s only a dark road up ahead. But you still have to believe and keep going. Believe that the stars will light your path, even a little bit.”
“The same melody repeats itself as the song grows richer and more beautiful. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could live seemingly constant lives while experiencing changes bit by bit?”
“There's always something one can't explain even if one has experience with it.”
“Why won't human emotions, not even my own, work out the way we want?”
“I'll leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow's me.”
“A dream? A future? Stop going on about other people's futures when you haven't even decided your own!”
“Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life.”
“Pretending to get along is just hypocritical. If you don't like me, that's fine. People are free to like and hate what they want.”
“Don't act because something is interesting, but act because you want to find something more interesting! In this world, there are so much interesting things. Do something that you don't want to do, you don't have even a second for it.”
“I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun.”
“In this world, there's no such thing as "failure" in the first place. The one who knows the "ways to win" more than anyone is also the one who's experienced the most "mistakes". In other words... You could say "failure" is equal to "success"... Couldn't you?”
“Me? A liar? That's almost hurtful. I just don't feel like telling the whole truth.”
“Everyone dies eventually, whether they have power or not. That's why you need to think about what you'll accomplish while you're alive.”
“Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen.”
“You never appreciate the irreplaceable things in life until they're gone. Like summer vacation... or brothers.”
“People with talent often have the wrong impression that things will go as they think.”
“I may not be able to beat you, even if we play a hundred more games. But if I have a chance of beating you the 101st time, I'll challenge you again and again.”
