“Of all the things that human beings do, do you know which one is tine most brazenly despicable? It's when people who have authority—and the people who flatter them-hide in safe places singing the praises of war; push a patriotic, sacrificial mind-set on the people; and then send them a to the battlefield. If peace is ever going to come to this galaxy, we should eradicate malignant parasites like those first instead of perpetuating this pointless war with the empire.”
― 田中芳樹, 銀河英雄伝説 1 [Ginga Eiyū Densetsu 1]

“Why do you think you were born into a good family and raised so well for? It's the trade-off for all that responsinility! Quit worrying about whatever you can do it or not, and just DO IT! That's your job. And when you're all done and finished, I'll listen to all the crying and complaining that you want.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, 中村 春菊

“No matter how ridiculous it is, its good to express your emotions while you are young. If not, you end up reaching your limit. We accumulate small and trivial experiences in life. But for those who can't treat their experiences as food to growth, they will reach the point of refusing to associate with other people with one line "I'm not to blame.”
― Hinowa Kouzuki, 妖怪アパートの幽雅な日常 3

“Cool down your head and think.
Just for a moment, forget your fanatism, anger, respect, everything.
Forget everything and ponder.
Use your own mind. Think carefully and make your own choice.”
― Kotaro Isaka, 魔王
