Do you know why the big brother is born first? It’s to protect the little brothers and sisters that come after him. A brother telling his sister, "I’ll kill you"... You never, ever say something like that.

There we go again, old men and their stupid arguments. What a pain.
~Toshiro Hitsugaya

Ah, Kurosaki, I see you've finally realized the importance of a cape.
~Uryu Ishida

We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful
Because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge
Unable to step out into the sky
Like that fearless flower
--Sosuke Aizen,Flower on the Precipice

Red like blood
White like bone
Red like solitude
White like silence
Red like the beastly instinct
White like a god's heart
Red like thawing hatred
White like a frozen, pained cry
Red like the night's hungry shadows
Like a sigh piercing the moon
it shines white and shatters red

Those who do not know what love is
likens it to beauty
Those who claim to know what love is
likens it to ugliness
-Gin Ichimaru
