"Humans are weak... but we want to live. …" — Guts Quote

"I'd rather fight for my life than live it."

— Guts · Berserk

"If you desire one thing for so long, it's a given that you'll miss other things along the way. That's how it is... that's life."

— Godo · Berserk

"People who perish in other’s battles are worms… If one can’t live their life the way they want, they might as well die."

"While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams."

— Griffith · Berserk

"Death on the battlefield comes regardless of class, royal or common. The loser must die!"

— Griffith · Berserk

"I feel no responsibility to comrades who've lost lives under my command. Because they chose to fight in each battle.. Just as I chose this. But if there is something that... I can do for them. Something I can do for the dead... Then it is to win! I must keep winning to attain my dream. The same one they clung to, and risked their lives for!! To realize my dream, I will perch on top of their corpses.. It is a blood-smeared dream, after all. I don't regret or feel guilty about it.. But to risk thousands of lives while never getting myself dirty. It's not a dream that can be so easily realized!"
