"An army is a tool of violence, and there are two kinds of violence. Violence to control and oppress, and violence as a means of liberation"

"When those in power confront popular opposition, there aren't many examples of the army siding with the people. Far from it, in the past, in country after country. the army itself evolved into a power structure and came to control the people with violence.

"The pen can impeach the dictator of a hundred years ago or the tyrant of a thousand years ago"

"for as long as human history goes on, the past will continue to accumulate. History isn't just records of the past. it's also proof that civilzation has continued to advance to the present. Our present civilization is the result of our past."

"In the long flow of time, living things know nothing of their ancestors,except for the genes they've inherited."

"If there's something you that you can't buy with money...you can always use the money to buy the power to take it"

"You're free to think, but never free to speak"

"When a crime's been commited...the person who gains the most by that crime is the prime suspect."

"I think it's correct for democratic nations to restrict the power of soldiers. Soldiers shouldn't wield power or authority when they aren't on the battlefield. Also, democracy can't be healthy when the military grows fat...by not accepting the criticisms of the government or society...thus turning into a nation within a nation.
The institution of democratic government isn't wrong. The problem is, the system is being alienated from the spirit that supports it.

"No matter what the circumstances are, in the end, it's something that we choose to do"

"There are few wars between good and evil: most are between one good and another good."

"What a wonderful obsevation. If only there was no one who had lost their life or family to war... then maybe I'd even come to believe it. For people who prefer to take advantage of war and try to establish their on profit on other peoples' sacrifices... it's an unusually fascinating idea. And for people who show false patriotism to deceive other people, eh?"

The greatest freedom is the freedom not to get involved."

"What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power, and those who flatter them, hide in safe places and extol war--who force patriotism and self-sacrifice on other, sending them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites?"

"Dictatorship itself isn't absolutely evil, it's just another form of government. The point is how you can run it for the benefit of society."

"In reality, it's dictatorship rather than democracy that drastically advances government reforms. But I think humanity ought to avoid being united by a dictatorship. While it's true Prince Lohengramm might have that talent, what about his descendants? His heir? Rulers aren't necessarily wise through generations... I don't think the entire human race should be ruled by a system where everything depends on one person's character."

"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands."

"What do they think people are? Assuming it's a matter of course to rule over them. Stealing from people and insulting people... yet they say it's their privilege to be forgiven?! Those people are corrupt! This empire is corrupt!"

"I aim to be the supreme ruler... and to reach that goal, I have a policy of my own. It is to fight my own battles. That's the difference between myself and the noblemen I've fought and defeated. That's also the reason why the soldiers follow me."

"I cannot lose to anyone. People admire and stay loyal to me because I'm undefeated. I'm not supported because of my bloodline."

"Something that is supposed to die and does not... will eventually rot away, whether it's a man or a nation."

"I don't believe that absolute truth is necessary. I only need the power to freely accomplish my dreams. One could say that it's the power not to have to take orders from those one despises."

"I want victory--but not because the enemy is weak."

"For those who have come to power, wealth and glory not by their own strength and effort, but simply through inheritance, what right do they have to complain? The very existence of such blood-lineage dynasties is disgusting. Power is the property of one generation. It shouldn't be transferred, it should be seized."

"The man who succeeds me must have talent equal to, or greater than my own."

"Genes determine everything? What nonsense. Hereditary physical qualities have no effect on people, that's for individuals. Heredity concerns family background, not personal abilities. Those who blindly believe in such theories genereally having nothing in their own lives to be proud of... they are the people I despise the most."

"Indeed, small acts of opposition cannot solve every problem. Our society needs a complete revolution. Such problems must be corrected, and we must not wait for others to correct them. We must carry out the revolution with our own hands."

"You'll have to do thing that only you can do"

"The strategy that was right yeseterday is not necessarily right today"

"Just because I rule the entire universe...there is no reason that my heirs should interhit it without possessing the requisite capabilities or renown.

"Rather than giving birth to something new, they emphasize tradition and make people believe that traditionis always right"

"When she said, "You're a nice person," I knew I had no chance. Women don't look for niceness in a man. "A nice person is an expression they use pityingly to someone so shallow and uninteresting that they sense no mystery in him"

"It does not matter who loves me; What matters is whom I love"

"A society where people cannot publicly complain about their leader is not an open society"

"Truts are always plural, aren't they? The truth of the ones who fight the war, the truth of the ones who order others to fight the war and the truth of the ones who are made to fight the war. Each of those is different."

"If there's principle, we can use that as our grounds to crticize the higher-ups. I don't trust people who belittle the "principle" from the start"

"In a large society, there's large injustices, and in a small society, there's small injustices."

"People may need scoieties, but they don't necessarily need "nations"."

"It's not as if things have changed all of a sudden. It's just that what's always been there, is beginning to show itself."

"Because a nation doesn't create individuals by cellular division. Instead it is individuals with autonomous intent who gather to establish a nation. In a democratic society, it is axiomatic as to which one is the master and which the servant."

"The right to violate the rights of the people belong to the people. In other words, when the people gave power to Rudolf von Goldenbaum, or to an incomparably smaller man like Job Trunicht, the responsibility belongs to the people. It belongs to no one else. That's the important point. The sin of dictatorship is that the people can push off the failures of government onto one man. Compared to that cardinal sin, the accomplishments of a hundred wise rulers seem small."

"If the total is one hundred, as long as you collect fifty-one among them, you can make it rule by the majority. But that majority will be divided into many factions. Namely, if we add up twenty-six from among those fifty-one, they can rule the whole we spoke of before. How futile is the democratic principle called majority rule?"

"In that sense, the problem of the market principle of Capitalism and the problem of Democracy are mixed. No one really thinks that Democracy is the best system. It's just that it's the better one. After all, Democracy is nothing more than (a system) which exists standing on the sacrifice of a majority of the people on the earth."
