Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011)

So how about we become monsters together… and turn this world upside down?

Remember this and take it to heart, kindness sometimes leads to even greater tragedy.

Do you treasure the world you live in or would you break its laws to follow your heart?

I won’t rely on anyone anymore.

Whenever we pray for somebody’s happiness, someone else must be cursed in exchange. Turns out that’s how we magical girls work… I really was an idiot.

Miracles aren’t free, you know. If you wish for hope, an equal amount of despair will be rained down upon you, too. That’s how everything stays in equilibrium…….. and the world’s balance doesn’t get disturbed.

You humans always react this way. Whenever I try to tell you the simple facts, you inevitably have this same reaction… I just don’t get it. Why are humans so touchy about the placement of their souls?

In our culture, the phenomena known as emotion is considered a mental disorder.

That sort of thing happens all the time. You get drunk on your own “correctness,” and the more stubborn you get, the further happiness flies away from you. It’s a bitter pill to swallow.

It sucks, but you can’t reach a happy ending just by doing what’s right all the time. Actually, the more people get stubborn and insist they’re in the right, the further away happiness gets.
