“If there is such a thing like happiness in this world, it should resemble the endless nothingness. Nihility is having nothing and having nothing to lose. If that isn't happiness... then what is?”

“If there is such a thing like happiness in this world, it should resemble the endless nothingness. Nihility is having nothing and having nothing to lose. If that isn't happiness... then what is?”
“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".”
“What a strange creature is man, who would cage himself so willingly.”
“For some time researchers have understood that moderate stress has beneficial effects. It boosts the immune system for example. Stress motivates and prepares us for action. It compels our body to survive. However, routine psycho pass checks take away the stress from us. There are patients whose stress reaction is so numb, they can’t even recognize the basic stimulation of their senses. Once that happens, it’s a neurological downward spiral, they become like living corpses. Eventually their autonomic nervous system stops working and their vital functions shut down.”
“Humans cannot reject temptation. When they are plunged into the depths of despair, likened to hell, they will hold on to anything that may help them escape from the situation they are in, even if it's merely a spider's thread, no matter what sort of humans they are.”
“All the liabilities in this world are due to the inadequacies of the person involved.”
“When a dog soils the carpet, its master is responsible.”
“I'm just letting you know, I'm not telling you this because I want your pity! I'm just fed up with humans, that's all! They tell lie after lie, only accepting people who are the same as they are! Humans are such hypocrites!”
“Human beings aren't known for remaining calm and rational.”
“My heart is a cold cage where lies a person far more than my self, with an eye that can see the truth but reflects nothing, a cold stare from a distant person that use to know how to smile.”
“"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...”
“Look, look around carefully. Strain your eyes. At the darkness around us... At the darkness... around me. You said, "anywhere but here". This is where. Here at the border. Gathered by the winds. Those who've met their final destiny hanging between jealousy and regret. Those who failed, swept together here. You say "It doesn't matter where". If you follow me, this is where you'll go! This is your Eden! You run from it. It is no Eden. If you follow me... to this place... the entire world... is a battlefield.”
“The moon pierced down on the diseased world. There is no cure for the disease. An entire race falls mindlessly into destruction. Not even a man of colossal power may be able to prevent the inevitable. Death no longer terrifies men. The smell of blood is as common as the smell of white plums, so he creates slavery and savagery which surpasses the horrors of dying. These can only be fought with more bloodshed and the cycle never ends. My sword is guided by the reasoning of Hiten Mitsurugi, but when all is said, a sword is a tool for destruction not salvation. The only way I can retain my humanity is to bury its victims.”
“Water, 35 litres. Carbon, 20 kg. Ammonia, 4 litres. Lime, 1.5 kg. Phosphorus, 800 g. Salt, 250 g. Niter, 100 g. Sulphur, 80 g. Fluoride, 7.5 g. Iron, 5 g. Silicon, 3g. And fifteen other elements. Those are the elements to make an average adult human body. You can buy these elemental ingredients at the market with the pocket money of a child. Humans are made so cheaply.”
“Sympathy only gets people hurt.”
“Ah, my most ugly heart. I hate, hate, hate it, so I can’t help but sneer all the time.”
“I prefer to have my nightmares with open eyes.”
“It's odd, isn't it? People die everyday and the world goes on like nothing happened.”
“Death by sword. Death by broken bones. Death by crushing. There's not much difference, right? You die at the end.”
“After all, most human beings are completely selfish. Eventually, they will meet their desires and try to help others. However, that isn't their only desire, they wish to stir people up. It is simplistically easier to do so anyway, they think it is a stupid ideal to show love to anyone but themselves.”
