Here you'll find a quite extensive list of anime quotes and sayings. It's got one, and one only example of each anime. I tried to choose the really insightful thoughts or the trademark and catchy phrases of the anime characters.

Of course you will probably not find your favorite anime quote or even one quote for each and every anime there is.That's because I'm only human ^_^'. But feel free to add your favorite anime quote or saying in the comments section! If it belongs to an anime not yet listed you can bet I'm gonna add it to the list ;)

Thank you and enjoy the anime phrases!

Instead of dwelling on the fact that I can't log out.... Or maybe thinking that I don't have to. It's now clear. After all, now I don't have to return to that ludicrous world. I like it this way. It's not so bad. (Tsukasa)

Bleach

I'm not Superman. So I can't say anything big like I'll protect everyone on Earth. I'm not a modest guy who will say it's enough if I can protect as many people as my two hands can handle either. I want to protect... a mountain-load of people. (Ichigo)

Code Geass

All men…are NOT created equal! Some are born smarter, or more beautiful, or with parents of greater status. Some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That's why there is war, violence and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is! What became of the EU, who claimed that all are equal? It is in constant conflict because its tenets go against human nature! The Middle Eastern Federation, which harbors similar sentiments, is constantly mired with sloths! But our Britannia is not like them! We put an end to wars and evolve with every conquest!

This is just too convenient! Kakarot and Ginyu are back there clobbering each other to death while the runts are up ahead finding the dragonballs for me. It's almost too good to be true. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'll just wait until those idiot Earthlings find out what the password is, then I'll step in and make my wish instead.

Science is not an occult enterprise like alchemy. It's not for nobles and royals in their palaces, nor for monks in their cathedrals. Science is neither faith nor sorcery, it is provable fact that can transfigure and transform us at our very core!

Mankind everywhere is in desperate need... they are waiting for the blessings of science!! (Edward Steam)
