“Some irony. The girl who couldn't face her own bullshit . . . suddenly forcing everyone else to.”
Rick Remender“It might be harder than you imagined it to be -- it might take longer -- but you can change things, Marik. Your life is significant. As low as you are . . . there is only room to rise. But you have to let go.”

Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“How does it feel to be helpless, Led?To depend on something that fails you?There's no more running from who you are; no one to hold you together anymore.You're alone now--The ghost of Tokyo has come for you all.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“I'm just a broken thing you're familiar with.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“Check your privilege, Hitler! I'm a nut job, not an asshole.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“Samurai are born to die.Death is not a curse to be avoided -- but the natural end of all life. Death is not eternal . . . dishonor is.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1: Atomic Garden“Go ahead, kill me! But live with this: All those people die!For the rest of your life, somewhere behind the feeds, that human part of you hiding down deep will always wonder how much pain you could have prevented if you hadn't been so weak!”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“Enough rationalization. They simply had what you wanted, so you took it.[My chair-- I shit on my good chair!]You shit more than just your chair.You shit the world. All you ever cared about was winning -- And you did.The last man standing on a mountain of filth [. . .]Kazumi taught forgiveness. She accepted all refugees looking for a better life. And you turned that against her.Kazumi would show mercy.I'm not Kazumi.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us“Bushido refers not only to martial rectitude but personal rectitude. We understand that in serving each other we serve our own interests. In serving our world, our world serves us. Allowing us to live in harmony with it.”
Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1: Atomic Garden“All these years! All this time with us -- have you learned nothing?!You only live by the grace of our clan's tenet of forgiveness!Your judgement is shit!Rectitude is the bone that gives firmness and stature. Without decency, neither talent nor learning can make the human frame into a samurai.”
