"My, my. So dangerous."

"[when Rukia asks why she is in the Gotei 13] What the hell?! That's so obvious! To "fight" and to "protect"!"

— Shiba Kaien · Bleach

"I'm so disappointed, Ichigo, so very disappointed. Sadly, your sword exhibits only fear. When you counter, it's because you fear being killed. When you attack, you fear killing. And when you protect someone, you fear you could let them die. At this point, the only thing your sword speaks is senseless fright, and that's not good. What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill."

— Urahara Kisuke · Bleach

"Do you remember the first time you walked? No. So you weren't conscious of it. Then why did you walk? Everyone was born knowing how to walk. It's called instinct. That's what this boy reminds me of. He knows he can achieve bankai, so he continues."

— Shihouin Yoruichi · Bleach

"If you give me wings, I will soar for you even if this whole land sinks down to the water. If you give me a sword, I will fight for you even if this whole sky shoots through with your light."

— Kurosaki Ichigo · Bleach

"Every week, when it is time, they stick to the TV. They watch my actions in the comfort of their families after dinner. Children watch my actions and their hearts leap. They see me stand up to evil spirits and... they know what courage is! Do you understand, boy? With them watching, I can't run away from the enemy"

— Don Kanonji · Bleach

"Something as useless as emotions, I never had them to begin with."

— Kuchiki Byakuya · Bleach
