"You're thinking in Japanese! If you must…" — Souryuu Asuka Langley Quote

"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

"Mankind has no time left."

— Shinji Ikari · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"Understanding 100% of everything is impossible. That's why we spend all our lives trying to understand the thinking of others. That's what makes life so interesting."

— Ryoji Kaji · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"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

"I still don't know where to find happiness. But I'll continue to think about whether it's good to be here... whether it was good to have been born. But in the end, it's just realizing the obvious over and over again. Because I am myself."

— Shinji Ikari · Neon Genesis Evangelion

"Those who hate themselves, cannot love or trust others."

— Rei Ayanami · Neon Genesis Evangelion
