“THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER REMOVED FROM FREEDOM THAN IGNORANCE.”
― Hajime Isayama

“I've been thinking every day since coming here. How did things turn out this way? Ruined minds and bodies. People with no freedom left to them. People who have even lost themselves. What kind of person would want to go to war if they knew they were going to end up like this?
But... there was something pushing us all along. Causing us to step right into hell. For most of us that something isn't of our own will. We're forced to by others, or by our environment.
But the kind of hell seen by people who push themselves into it is something else. They also see something beyond that hell. Maybe it's hope. Maybe it's yet another hell.
I don't know which it is. The only people who do know... are the ones who keep moving forward.”
― Hajime Isayama

“Everything that you thought had meaning: every hope, dream, or moment of happiness. None of it matters as you lie bleeding out on the battlefield. None of it changes what a speeding rock does to a body, we all die. But does that mean our lives are meaningless? Does that mean that there was no point in our being born? Would you say that of our slain comrades? What about their lives? Were they meaningless? They were not! Their memory serves as an example to us all! The courageous fallen! The anguished fallen! Their lives have meaning because we the living refuse to forget them! And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us! Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world! My soldiers push forward! My soldiers scream out! My soldiers RAGE!”
