Agreed, honestly i don\'t like either of his quotes right now. \"People die when they are killed\" is one of those things where the loss of nuance in the translation from Japanese to English combined with the removal of the context in which it was said makes it sound stupid. \"Humans are weak...\" at least sounds better out of context, but the fact that Guts said that while he was torturing the Baron, with the meaning that he would show him the pain that his victims felt, makes it a lot less inspiring. The thing is that both \"humans are weak...\" and \"stepping on ants\" are things that Guts said while he was at his worst and intentionally pretending to be heartless, and i think they\'re dishonest about his true character. For that reason I\'d rather use ones from the Golden Age arc and later, some quotes that show him as a ByronicHero rather than a NinetiesAntiHero. Let\'s work on this together. I will do my best to help.
