“That’s not like you. If you’re content with leaving things unknown, how can we ever expect to defeat the titans? When will we ever know enough to face our enemies?”
“That’s absolutely right. It doesn’t make a single difference. No matter what dreams or hopes you may have, no matter what kind of blissful life you’ve led until now, what happens to your body when it gets crushed by a rock is the same. Everyone dies sooner or later. Does that mean all life is meaningless? Was the fact that you were ever born meaningless from the start? Would you say the same of your dead comrades? Were those soldiers’ lives meaningless? No, they weren’t! And our fight gives meaning to those soldiers’ lives! Those brave fallen men and women! Those poor fallen men and women! The only ones who can remember them are us, the living! So we will die here, and trust the meaning of our lives to the next generation! That is the sole way we can revel against this cruel world! My soldiers! Rage! My soldiers! Scream! MY SOLDIERS! FIGHT!”
“I have people I wish I could bring back, too. Hundreds of them. Ever since I joined the Survey Corps, every day has brought a new farewell. But, you understand, don’t you? Everyone you meet will be parted from you one day. I know it’s difficult to accept. It’s hard to stay sane, living like that. It’s painful. So painful. I know that. But, even so, we need to move forward.”
“Who was in the wrong? Me? Or this world? It was probably both. I was foolish and ignorant, and the world was unfair and insane.”
