15 Best Ken Kaneki quotes from Tokyo Ghoul
1-“Never trust anyone too much, remember the devil was once an angel.” – Ken Kaneki
2-“You’re wrong. It’s not the world that’s messed up; it’s those of us in it. Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans, we can choose a different path altogether. We have a lot to learn, both your kind and mine.

3-“Donato has to keep proving himself. He wants to prove just how valuable he is. Isn’t that the case with you as well? Because you are the same as Donato.

Once that happens, you’ll break and become discarded. ” – Ken Kaneki

11-“My severe injuries had healed and the sweet taste of blood coated my mouth. I kept walking, my goal vague…trying to dispel the building unease in my chest… Upon entering an open area was the scent of rotting flowers and in the middle of the flowerbed, he stood… Without anyone saying a thing, without his name given, like an unsolved puzzle falling into place by itself, just by seeing that figure, I–understood exactly who I faced. The CCG’s reaper. The undefeated ghoul investigator. A cold, vivid gaze. There, stood the God of Death. Why was it that I was seeing beauty in death rather than life? Strangely, I thought he was beautiful… Disoriented, I had failed to comprehend the scene before my eyes. It was not anything like flowers but a large amount of “Death”. Had he done this alone?… It’s a lie… Koma…Irimi…After all that… No matter how I tried to rouse my will to fight with hatred, more than sorrow, more than rage, the emotion that arose within me was despair.
Because ‘my turn’ was next. ” – Ken Kaneki
