"You're wrong. It's not the world that's messed up; it's those of us in it. Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans, we can choose a different path altogether. We have a lot to learn, both your kind and mine. We need to stop fighting, and start talking. Because when it comes to the state of the world, you can't point your finger at ghouls or humans. We're all to blame." — Kaneki Ken
"In this world, there is only good and evil, that was the first universal truths I grasped from observing the world around me when I was a child. Every human being without exception ends up falling into one category or the other." — Mikami Teru
"They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, "Search for Paradise."" — Kiba
"Just as planets seek the light of a star and circle around it, I was a planet that sought the light of a pure star. Even the moon can't shine by itself. It shines so brightly because it reflects light from the sun." — Takada
"People are weak. They have no fangs or claws. All they can do is cry. And yet, how was it that this world came into the possession of humans? That's because... among all living things... they are... the cruelest!" — Shinnou
"I don't remember saying that I would kill you because I'm a Soul Reaper. The reason I am killing you is simple. It's because you aimed your blade at my only pride." — Kuchiki Byakuya
"One person needed courage to face the past. Another person needed effort to make a dream come true. Yet another person needed time and friends. What about you?" — Yuzuru Otonashi
"To cry because there is something you want to do and to cry because you can't find it. Which is more painful? The only thing I can say is even with all the words I have now, I can't stop her tears." — Yuuta Takemoto
