A dark fantasy that was also adapted into a live-action film! Memorable quotes from Attack on Titan (1–10)
Are you really planning to go on living as a version of yourself made to please others? That’s ridiculous! It’s fine to be yourself! Speak in your own words!Ymir
Ymir, who appears as one of the 104th Cadet Corps members alongside Eren Yeager, has this famous quote: “Are you planning to live your whole life as a version of yourself crafted to please other people’s eyes? That’s ridiculous! It’s fine, isn’t it? You be you! Speak in your own words!” She says this to Sasha Blouse, who even speaks politely to her peers, and it really shows Ymir’s personality.
The message about the importance of being yourself will especially resonate with those who are shy.
It’s a quote that gives you the courage to show your true self.
Massacres are wrong! There can’t possibly be any justification for approving of them!Hange Zoë
As the leader of the Survey Corps’ Fourth Squad, Hange Zoë declares the famous line: “Massacre is wrong! There’s no way any reason could justify this!” Even in the real world, histories of massacres are never praised by later generations.
No matter the reason, trying to cut short another life for our own convenience cannot be justified—perhaps that’s what this quote teaches us.
It’s a saying that shows how foolish it is to seek control or resolution through violence, and that there is no future down that path.
Well, at best… choose for yourself the option that you won’t regret.Levi Ackerman
Levi Ackerman, known as humanity’s strongest soldier and one of the most popular characters in the series, once said: “Well, at the very least… choose for yourself the option you won’t regret.” You can’t know what choice to make, what to believe, or what outcome it will bring until you try.
That’s exactly why choosing a path you won’t regret afterward is so important in life.
It’s a quote that resonates not only within the intense world of the story, but also in the real world.

There’s much to learn from the enemy.Jelena
A quote from Yelena—a character known for her striking appearance who operates as an Anti-Marleyan Volunteer—says, “…there is much to learn from the enemy.” In any world, those on your side often see only the same view you do, while the opposite position reveals perspectives you can’t otherwise access.
You may also discover unexpected ways of thinking or even your own weaknesses through the enemy’s actions.
It’s a quote I’d like to offer to anyone involved in competition, as it’s applicable to clubs, workplaces, and beyond.
I just don’t want to end up as some nobody’s charred remains… and let people down.Jean Kirstein
These are the words he shot back as if responding to the comment directed at him, in the scene where Jean Kirstein suggests making himself the decoy to help everyone.
It’s a reply to the point that he used to put his own self-preservation first, and you can sense the shift in his mindset and his growth.
The people who were sacrificed on his path became the catalyst for that growth, and his wish to become someone worthy of them—someone he wouldn’t be ashamed to be—comes through as well.
It’s a line that makes you feel that the desire to help someone and to be a person you’re not ashamed of can, at times, make you stronger.
Making the right choice… is actually pretty difficult.Petra Rall
Not only when we’re pursuing a goal, but in the course of our everyday lives, we are constantly faced with choices—and it’s natural to feel uneasy about whether we’re choosing the right path.
This is a line from Petra that gently accompanies that universal anxiety about having to choose and acknowledges the courage it takes simply to move forward.
She reminds us that there are times when a choice is “right” even if the outcome isn’t good, and that consistently making the right choices is difficult for anyone.
Her words inspire the belief that trusting in the good results that may lie ahead and choosing with courage might be what truly matters in life.
Because I’m not a strong person, I can really understand how weak people feel.Marco Bot
Marco Bott, despite being an elite who graduated seventh in the 104th Cadet Corps, was betrayed by his comrades.
His famous quote, “Because I’m not a strong person, I can understand how weak people feel,” was addressed to his friend Jean Kirstein and reveals Marco’s gentle side.
It’s a reminder of important truths that the strong or exceptionally gifted might overlook—wisdom worth keeping in mind in real-life relationships, too.
Precisely because the story’s world is so bleak, this quote stands out all the more.
