There is no difference between living and being allowed to live. Just as there is no difference between dying and being killed.

People are never losers, they're just temporarily not winners

“the perfect being. You said, Well, I have to tell you the honest truth as I see it in this world, nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche, after all, but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men pursued the concept of perfection. It's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself, What is the true meaning of being perfect? And the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is, I despise perfection. If something is truly perfect, that's it. The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination, no space for intelligence or ability or improvement. Do you understand two men of science like us? Perfection is a dead end. A condition of hopelessness always strive to be better than anything that came before you. But not perfect. Scientists agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection. That's the kind of creatures we are. We take joy and trying to exceed our grasp in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit, may be, in fact, impossible to reach. In other words, you may think we operate on the same level, but you are wrong the moment you're started talking about perfection, you embraced an impossible concept and had already lost to me. That is, of course, if you are indeed a scientist at all.”

“I must admit it never ceases to amaze me how brainless you can be. You’ve lost your weapon; why are you just standing there? Ichigo! What’s the difference between a king and his horse?”
Ichigo: “What the hell are you saying?”
“And I’m not talking about obvious stuff, like one’s and animal and one’s a person or one has two legs and one has four, form ability and power; that’s what’s puzzling, if there form, ability and power are exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the king and leads them to battle while the other becomes the horse and carries the king; so what’s the characteristics that distinguishes these two beings? There’s only one answer INSTINCT!”
“In order for identical beings to get stronger and gain power, they need to develop a killer instinct, and that instinct is mostly forged in battle!”
“They must develop an insatiable hunger to engage in battle; they must live to mercilessly crush, shred and slice their enemies, this thirst for power is not a unnatural desire, in fact it forms the very essence of our beings; deep within our body lies the whole instinct to dominate and slaughter our enemies. My friend you don’t have that, you try to use your brain to win a fight, you attempt to defeat your enemies with reason and logic, you don’t tap into those pure base instincts that exists within your core waiting to be released!” “And the simple matter is that it doesn’t work, your weak ICHIGO!, I won’t put up with that, am I clear?” “I don’t know about Zangetsu, but I refuse to play horse to a king who’s weaker than me, someone who’s uncertainty and hesitation will end up getting us both cut to pieces. If you aren’t willing to assert your strength and retain the crown, then I’ll destroy you.” Which mean’s I’ll be king.“- White
