I will not trample on the pains of being a demon, nor on those who regret their actions. Because demons were humans...they were humans like me.

Kamado Tanjiro, Demon Slayer

Self-Immolition, Mr Shin

[credits-roll]

This is so true that we rarely confide in those who are better than ourselves. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. More often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves or be bettered, for we should first be bound to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves.

The Fall, Albert Camus

On an alternate world line, I told you I was in love with you. I'll say it again, I love you. That's just something you should know.

Steins;Gate, Okabe Rintarou

Mighty river release my soul, I need to see the world

To the unknown, I'll go against my sorrow (Sorrow)

Mighty river release my soul out to the open gold

I can't stay here forever in this hollow

The death of a person is not just some number. Every one of their lives must have some meaning.

Record of Youth

You who go through rice paddies in the rain, you who hurry toward leviathan woods, you who walk into the gloom of clouds and mountains, fasten up your raincoat, damn it.

Truth: You're willing to cast it aside? Lower yourself to a simple human?

Ed: What do you mean lower myself? That's the only thing I've ever been.

“Before I hesitate, I should try. Without thinking about success or failure, I will try, for the sake of trying, my utmost. It does not matter if it ends in failure.” He who had always demurred from life for fear of failing no longer disliked wasted effort.

Nakajima Atsushi, “The Rebirth of Wujing” from The Moon over the Mountain and Other Stories

Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints,

It takes and it takes and it takes

History obliterates

In every picture it paints

It paints me and all my mistakes

Wait For It, Aaron Burr

If you look away and just turn your back on those you don't understand, you'll regret it someday. Accept what's happening before your eyes as a fact. That's a shortcut to becoming an adult, missy.

Ginoza Nobuchika, Psycho Pass

I'm not telling you to ignore the plights of the unfortunate. But in the world we live in, such misfortune is prevalent. Consider yourself on a one-man boat. If you try to save someone you cannot, it will sink both of you.

Kunikida Doppo, Bungo Stray Dogs

I am the one thing in life I can control

I am inimitable

I am an original

I'm not falling behind or running late

I'm not standing still

I am lying in wait

Aaron Burr, Wait For It
