1 Never trust anyone too much, remember the devil was once an angel. –Ken Kaneki
Lucifer was once an angel. You cannot trust anyone too much. People eventually change. Most people only work for their own ulterior motives. They cling onto you and eventually betray you.
2 You’re wrong, it’s not the world that’s messed up, it’s those of us in it. -Ken Kaneki
The world is not what is messed up. It is the people who make it a bad place and mess it up. If we want the world to be a better place, it is completely up to us.
3 Human relationships are chemical reactions, if you have a reaction then you can never return back to your previous state of being. –Ken Kaneki
You can never forget the way someone made you feel. Emotions last with you. You can never unlove someone. The love that you once had for them lasts with you forever.
4 Why is it that the beautiful things are entwined more deeply with death than with life? –Ken Kaneki

7 What’s wrong isn’t me, what’s wrong is the world. –Ken Kaneki
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do what heart tells you to do. If people are against you for doing that, then it’s the world that is wrong, not you.
8 If you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be a tragedy. -Ken Kaneki

9 You think something like that would hurt, after all I’ve been through? -Kaneki Ken
Once you have been through a lot and almost reached your breaking point, there’s nothing that can break you anymore. Everything else that life may throw at you will seem petty and easy to overcome.
