"The law doesn't protect people. People protect the law. People have always detested evil and sought out a righteous way of living. Their feelings, the accumulation of those peoples feelings are the law. They're neither the provisions, nor the system. They're the fragile and irreplaceable feelings that everyone carries in their hearts."

"I was the only one who got an A ranking for the Public Safety Bureau. There were more than 500 students and I was the only one.

"In order to measure a person’s worth, you must do more than push them. The real way to test their worth is to give them power.

I'm interested to see what is the outcome of that."
