"I want to become weak and if that's not …" — Coyote Starrk Quote

"It's one of the basics... So I will teach you. A shinigami at the rank of Captain can control the size of his zanpakuto got it? Otherwise everyone'd carry around ginormous swords... just like you. Remember this well. You can't fathom the power of your rival simply from the size of his zanpakuto. You shouldn't give lectures about Shinigami until you understand that."

— Kurosaki Isshin · Bleach

"The difference in ability... What about it? Do you think I should give up just because you're stronger than me?"

— Kurosaki Ichigo · Bleach

"Sadistic? I don't mind you calling me that. If you don't want to get hurt, don't attack me when I say not to."

— Inoue Orihime · Bleach

"Put away your sword and you shall live...unless you're still dreaming about defeating me. Did you forget, or did it just never occur to you...that I have Bankai as well?"

— Kuchiki Byakuya · Bleach

"Even if no one in the world believes you, stick out your chest and scream in defiance."

— Rukia Kuchiki · Bleach

"Do you know what a scientist fears most in this world above all else? It's oblivion, my friend. A scientist measures our lives in the ways we develop and expand our knowledge through myriad variations. Nothing can take its place. It's our very soul. I have done the worst thing one scientist can do to another: I have altered your thought process. When my drug takes effect, you will find your mind has lost the ability to think."

— Kurotsuchi Mayuri · Bleach
