"This era is not so simple that you can put everything on your shoulders and be the only sacrifice. And, at the same time, one person's happiness isn't that simple, either. If you should fall as a sacrifice, one girl who came to Kyoto with the one wish to see you will definitely face misfortune. Remember that. No matter how strong you get, you are just a human being. There is no need for you to either become Buddha, or a murderer."

"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
"Accepting one's own strength, and the strength of others, is an important quality of a swordsman."
— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
"You can die anytime, but living takes true courage."
— Kenshin Himura · 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
"Let's just say... what's mine is mine, and what's yours... is also mine."
— Hajime Saitou · Rurouni Kenshin
"The moment you find the courage to give up your life for someone... Would be the moment you understand love."
— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
