"Life is like a node which is born within the flow of information. As a species of life that carries DNA as its memory system... man gains his individuality from the memories he carries. While memories may as well be the same as fantasy... it is by these memories that mankind exists."

— Motoko Kusanagi · Ghost in the Shell
"There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience."
— Motoko Kusanagi · Ghost in the Shell
