Quote

And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. -Judges 15:16

Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution. -Isaiah 35:4

Revolutionaries are more formalistic than conservatives.

The good Lord giveth...and taketh away.

Believe in yourself. Don't believe in me who believes in you. Don't believe in you who believes in me. Believe in you who believes in yourself!

The world won't change with pretty words alone.

You probably don't think I could force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can. All the way. Except that I'd hold onto this little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest the towel, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. Most people probably take about a week to die. It's very painful.

Since that day, I've always been living a lie. The fact that I'm alive is a lie. My name is a lie, my background is a lie. It's full of lies. Fed up with the world that does not change at all, but I can't even let everything go because of this despair called "lies." But now I have in my hands...this power, therefore...

I would like you to answer a question before you dispose of me If being powerless is evil, is having power justice ? Is revenge evil ? Can friendship coexist with justice?

Whether it's laughable or irrational, This is the path that ALL great men walk! If there's a wall in our way, we'll destroy it! If there's no road, we'll pave it with our own hands! The magma in our hearts is blazing like flames!

DARE DA TO OMOTTE YAGARU!!!!!!(Who the hell do you think I am!!!!!!)

It is not your job to die for your country, but it is your job to kill some poor fool on the enemies' side.

"If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it."

"There is no top. There are always further heights to reach."

Real love stories never have endings.

The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

"Criticism does not disturb me, for I am my own severest critic. Always in my playing I strive to surpass myself, and it is this constant struggle that makes music fascinating to me."

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.

The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it.

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

In the end, it doesn't matter how many breaths you take, but how many moments took your breath away.

The best feelings are those that have no words to describe them.

It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.

The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
