14 AWFULLY DEEP ‘TOKYO GHOUL’ QUOTES

Well… too deep for 11pm anyway

1. “It’s better to be hurt than to hurt others. Nice people can be happy with just that” – Ken Kaneki
2. “There are times when you’ll have to protect something even at the cost of something else” – Rize Kamishiro
3. “Sometimes good people make bad choices, it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It means they are human” – Kishou Arima
4. “If an angelic being fell from the sky and tried to live in this world of ours, I think even they would commit many wrongs” – Juuzou Suzuya
5. “Isn’t it arrogant to put a price on whether life is ‘higher’ or ‘lower’, Kaneki? We are just bags of meat. The weak bow down and the strong devour them. Rather, if you compared them to all living things, it’s humans who have shaved away the most lives. We are different than them” – Shuu Tsukiyama
6. “The act of taking is equally evil. We, from the moment of birth, continue to take. Food, connections, even fellow blood. Living to the utmost. Continuing to slaughter, kill, take. Life is to constantly sin. Life is evil itself. I am aware I am evil…. And so are you all. Now, come kill me and, I shall do the same” – Yoshimura
7. “As long as it’s for the right cause, there’s nothing wrong with playing dirty” – Kureo Mado
8. Why should I apologize for being a monster? Has anyone ever apologised for turning me into one? – Juuzou Suzuya
9. “Human relationships are chemical reactions. If you have a reaction then you can never return back to your previous state of being” – Ken Keneki
10. “All suffering in the world is born from an individual’s incompetence” – Yakumo Oomori
11. “Whose fault is it that things ended up like this? Coincidence? An accident? Fate? There’s no such thing as fate. It’s simply a combination of one circumstance and the next. And who is it that creates those circumstances? Who is it? It’s you” – Rize Kamishiro
12. “Be the main character in your own life” – Hideyoshi Nagachika
13. “I led me by the hand, as if to fill the niches in the memories in my oozing brain fluid. Without even a destination, we kept walking. Disgusting clouds were floating in the sky. I already know what will happen to me the next time I wake up” – Ken Keneki
14. “Books are nice, aren’t they? With just one sentence you can get lost in all sorts of dreams. The way I think of it, literature allows the reader’s consciousness to deeply relish the author and be closer to him. And so, we freely walk around the world of the story from the yarn spinner’s point of view. It’s only when you immerse yourself in the world of a book that you are able to forget just who you are” – Shuu Tsukiyama
