Quotes by Yusuke Kishi (?)

“...as human beings, no matter how many tears we have to shed in order to learn a lesson, the moment the tears are dry, we forget. That’s the type of beings we are.”
― Yusuke Kishi, From the New World: The Complete Series

“Le lycée Shinko Machida représentait pour Hasumi un vaste plateau de jeu d'échecs ou chaque prof, chaque élève s'apparentait a une pièce. Il fallait sans arrêt manœuvrer pour que tout ce petit monde se déplace dans la direction souhaitée.”
― Yusuke Kishi, La Leçon du mal

“We are not beasts or slaves!” The crowd’s anger was at its peak. The leaked cantus was so high that the courtroom was filled with a headache-inducing tension. Even though he knew that death was inevitable, Yakomaru was prepared and didn’t falter at all.
“If you aren’t beasts, then what are you?” Squealer looked slowly around the court. My heart skipped a beat as we made eye contact for a split second.
“We are humans!” The audience went silent. Then exploded in laughter. As the laughter continued, even Kimoto couldn’t hide her smile. As the crowd finally settled down, Squealer spoke before Kimoto could open her mouth.
“Laugh all you want. No evil goes unpunished forever! Even if I die, one day someone else will carry on my cause. And that day shall be the end of your tyranny!”
― Yusuke Kishi
