— How many names do you use, Howl?
— Enough to guarantee my freedom.
There are people in this world who prefer solitude. But there is no one who can withstand it.
Episode 212
Nothing’s perfect, the world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us, trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful.
I don't sit like this because I want to. I have to sit like this. You see, if I were to sit normally, my deductive skills would immediately be reduced by roughly 40%.
Trying to not hurt others is something you can’t do. People are creatures who hurt others just by existing even if they’re not aware of it. Whether you’re living or dying, you’ll always be hurting someone. Once you’re involved, you’ll hurt someone, and even by not being involved, you might be hurting someone else as well. But if a person is indifferent to you, you don't even understand that you hurt him. You just need to realize this. When a person is dear to you, you understand that you hurt him. And to cherish someone means to be ready to hurt him.
Dodging, think: I won't let myself get hurt. Protecting someone, think: I won't let them die. When attacking, think: I will kill him!
The world lies! Thou shalt not commit murder, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not cheat, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife. All of these are lies. Mere illusions and nothing more. "I don't want to be killed," "I don't want to be robbed." Therefore, those who are weak seek protection from lies, whose name is justice and virtue. It is based on the superiority of the strong over the weak. Devouring everything, whether it people, wealth, power or the whole world!
