Cid Kagenou quotes from The Eminence in Shadow (newest)

Shadow: My organization was never walking the path of righteousness, but we don't walk the path of evil either. We only walk down our own path. If you can do that, then go ahead. Bring me the guilt for all the crimes in all the world. I will gladly accept all of it. But it won't change anything. Even with that, I... We will do what we must do.

Cid Kagenou: I make a very clear distinction between what's important to me and what's not. As people go through life, they collect more things that have value to them. They make friends, find significant others, get jobs. But me? I trimmed the fat. And when I was done... all I had left was what I absolutely couldn't do without. And that's why I don't particularly care what happens to anything else.

Cid Kagenou: Epsilon is a very proud woman. I can tell by the amount of slime she's piled onto herself.

Shadow: True strength lies not in one's power, but in one's way of being.

Shadow: I don't want to be the hero. I don't want to be the last boss. I want to be the one in the story who operates from the shadows, showing everyone their greatness: The Eminence in Shadow!
