Firstly, this is not a catchphrase thread. There were many other quotes threads that got locked because this thread already existed, but a quote is not the same as a catchphrase. I'll thank you to not lock my thread, because that catchphrase thread is not what I want.

Now then, I'm looking for great quotes, for a project I'm doing. If the quote is from an anime, I'd prefer they're from subs, not dubs. Awesome, funny, contemplative - any type is fine, but preferably they should stand on their own, making sense to everyone, not just fans. For each quote, please cite the anime/manga, character, and episode/chapter if possible.

What I have so far:

"You cannot understand that which you do not know, and that misunderstanding breeds hatred." --Sehara (Night of a Thousand Dreams, chapter 32)

"Do you know about this torture method? You hang a prisoner from above, and then you leave him there, at a height where he can almost, maybe, touch his feet to the ground. That's it. Unending hope...It exhausts people to their limits. 'Someday, someday'...That alone will drive a man to self-destruction. There's only one way out...and that's to forget that the ground even exists." --Ganymede (Olimpos, chapter 2)

"Those who are allowed to shoot are those who are prepared to be shot." --Lelouch (Code Geass, episode 50)

"Ikebukuro's number one? No, we're the world's number one couple! Seiji-san is the most amazing guy ever! I snuck about 20 hidden cameras into his room, and then he found them all and said 'Good morning!' to me through them!" --Mika Harima (Durarara, episode 25)

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness. May those who defy their fate be granted glory." --Edel (Princess Tutu, episode 2)

"But... I've got a very BIG problem... It's really HARD to say, but...

...

I got E.D.!" ~ Miharu from Aki-Sora, chapter twelve.



Oh, the irony.

"We are inside soft, sweet and pure white despair". (Hakomari).

"Father, Father, we want to marry those two. Go talk to them". (Otoyomegatari, volume 4).

"I feel physiologically repulsed by you. How's that?" (Seishun For-get!).

"All men burn with foolish jealousy. But women are fools to delight in it. This world is full of fools no matter where you look".
"I'll always remember that you chose me".
(both from Spice & Wolf (novel) volume 1).

by Alita - Battle Angel Alita

“I think love is the most beautiful when they remain unaware of their own feelings, existing above the limitations of what we call romance. Although, I also admire both those who force their way deep in, drowning in the mud, and those who retreat treading on briars.”

"It was as if I were a black sheep, born to live in isolation amongst a pure white flock. Without enjoying the same things as my brethren, not sorrowing over the same things as they do, nor partaking of the same meals, the comforting feelings my companions experienced--such feelings as love, affection, and sympathy were completely foreign to me. and so as a wretched black sheep, the only thing I could do was to coat my black fur in white powder, no choice but to masquerade as a white sheep. And so, wearing a mask even now, i continue to act the clown." (Bungaku Shoujo)

Except that is very much a catchphrase and utterly pointless without the context given by the show itself.

OP lined out as "Awesome, funny, contemplative - any type is fine, but preferably they should stand on their own, making sense to everyone, not just fans."
