"The scar of my past will determine my future!"

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

— Makoto Shishio · Rurouni Kenshin

"Murder is the only art a swordsman may practice. No ornamental words can change that. You want to protect people with murder? You'll slaughter legions so that a few may live. Many years, long before you were born, my sword was tearing asunder the lives of men. Yes, all of those men were evil, but they were human beings first and foremost, Kenshin. The world you ardently desire to enter will not know what to do with you. It will deceive you into believing that you are saving lives even as you destroy them. You will accept these lies all the while, your hands will be stained with the worst of offenses."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"The only atonement you will ever realize will be that of you're own death. You will be justly and severely punished, before you ever find the peace you seek Kenshin. That is the meaning of 'Jinchū'. Those who live must act in the place of those who have died. YOU ARE A CRIMINAL SO DIE LIKE ONE! I will make you suffer and scream, you took my sister... You destroyed her happiness... SUFFER KENSHIN, DIE! YOU MISERABLE DOG!!"

— Enishi Yukishiro · Rurouni Kenshin

"What is truly good about a person can't be expressed in words, that it can not. What matters is the feeling of trust one gets after spending time with him."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"You will not touch these innocent people with even one inch of your dirty blades, if you require an opponent, I will fight you. If you wanna taste the ground, feel free to attack me."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
