"Helping other people is the best way to …" — Kenshin Himura Quote

"The moon peers down on a diseased world... There is no cure for the disease, an entire race walks mindlessly into destruction. Not even a man of colossal power, would be able to prevent the inevitable."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"In this world, the weak are the sustenance of the strong. The strong live, the weak die."

— Makoto Shishio · Rurouni Kenshin

"Death no longer terrifies man, the smell of blood is as common as the smell of white plums. So, he creates slavery and savagery... which surpasses the horror of dying."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"Once you have a power, sometimes you are put into a situation which make you carry extra burdens, and live all your life with pain."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"When I was at the brink of life and death, I used all of my will to survive. I drew upon a different power than that of self-sacrifice and mastered an ultimate technique. The will to live is stronger than anything else. That was the ray of light that my master risked his life to show me. As Hitokiri Battousai, I have committed so many crimes that I cannot possibly repent for them. That is why I had secretly believed that it didn't matter when I died or was killed. However, now... even if I am formally punished or restrained. I will never lose the will to live."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Just because you die... doesn't mean that the people you killed will come back to life... instead using this sword to save just one more soul is repentance in true sense."
