"No one can justify life by linking happy…" — Shinji Ikari Quote

"Are you afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, but you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone. Pain is something man must carry in his heart, and since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe that life is pain."

— Kaworu Nagisa · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"Humans constantly feel pain in their hearts. Because the heart is so sensitive to pain, humans also feel that to live is to suffer."

— Kaworu Nagisa · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"So fucking what if I'm not you?! That doesn't mean it's okay for you to give up! If you do, I'll never forgive you as long as I live. God knows I'm not perfect either. I've made tons of stupid mistakes and later I regretted them. And I've done it over and over again, thousands of times. A cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every time I learned something about myself."

— Misato Katsuragi · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"As long as one person still lives...it shall be proof eternal that mankind ever existed."

— Yui Ikari · Neon Genesis Evangelion
