"I'm going to have to ask you to stop now…" — Aizen Sousuke Quote

"I'm so disappointed, Ichigo, so very disappointed. Sadly, your sword exhibits only fear. When you counter, it's because you fear being killed. When you attack, you fear killing. And when you protect someone, you fear you could let them die. At this point, the only thing your sword speaks is senseless fright, and that's not good. What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill."

— Urahara Kisuke · Bleach

"Only underlings get caught up in the matter of style and lose the battle. A captain can't afford such indulgences. Don't try to be a good kid. Whether you own somebody or they own you. The moment you start a fight, you are wrong in either way."

— Shunsui Kyōraku · Bleach

"[To Orihime, when she refuses to eat] Shall I force it down your throat? Or would you rather be strapped down and given IV's?"

— Ulquiorra Schiffer · Bleach

"No man's life is worth more than another! If you're gonna put your life on the line, you do it as equals! I don't care if you're brothers, or master and apprentice, or whatever! You should only die for a guy who'd die for you! There's nothing honorable about throwing your life away as though it's nothing! That's just showing off like a kid."

— Madarame Ikkaku · Bleach

"I think you and I have different concepts of beauty. I was taught that it's beautiful to survive, unsightly or not."

— Ganju Shiba · Bleach

"Seek not beauty in battle. Seek not beauty in death. Consider not your own life. If you wish to protect that which must be protected, then strike while your opponent's back is turned."

— Aizen Sousuke · Bleach
