Wolfs Rain Quotes

Hige: [talking to Kiba, who is being held in a cage] Man, you really screwed up. I mean, I've seen one of us get hurt before, but never this badly. And you're caught, too.
Kiba: I can get out of here whenever I feel like it.
Hige: Uh-huh. So, then, why are you in there?
Kiba: I just needed a place to rest for a while, that's all.
Hige: I'm Hige. It's nice to meetcha.
Kiba: So, why are you in here, anyways?
Hige: No reason. It smelled like something interesting was going to happen, and I just followed my nose, you know? Besides, I've got nowhere else to go.
Kiba: That's not your true form. Why do you hide yourself?
Hige: So that I don't end up where you are. These people are terrified of us, so, you know, if we look like them, they pretty much leave us alone.
Kiba: You're lying to yourself, just so you can live a miserable life and die a miserable death in this city?
Hige: You gotta do what you can to survive. Keep looking like that, and you'll be back here in no time at all. It draws too much attention.
Kiba: Have you give up your pride as a wolf?
Hige: You're a strange one, all right. But having pride doesn't count for much if you're dead, you know?

Movie: Wolfs Rain
Hige: Come on, we're friends now, right?
Kiba: Coming from you, that sounds kind of fishy.

Movie: Wolfs Rain
Kiba: Why? Why do humans always look to the sky? Why do you try so hard to fly when you don't have any wings? We'll run on our own legs.

Movie: Wolfs Rain
Owl: [voice over] When are we born? When do we die? Why are we born? Why do we die? The world has been destroyed and we've fallen countless times, always resurrecting from the ashes as Paradise. It has happened before, and it will happen again. An endless cycle of life and death. The world is a Paradise that was opened by someone, but this era too is almost at an end. We have acquired the means to exceed our natural span of life, never suspecting that the world itself was finalized in its existence. This knowledge has left me in despair, my fate has fallen and scattered like the petals of a dying flower, like the blast from a sand storm it has been warn down and weathered away. As if to be purified, the world will be encased in ice so that it can return to the beginning once more. Paradise is a world that is opened by someone...

Movie: Wolfs Rain
Quent Yaiden: Look at this. [Quent shows Hubb his hand, which Tsume cut open earlier]
Quent Yaiden: Pretty, ain't it? It's a souvenir from an angry wolf.
Hubb Lebowski: You can't prove it was a wolf.
Quent Yaiden: Well, there wern't any cats or ferrets around. There was only a young human. The beast turned into a little boy right in front of my eyes. It was just a little kid.
Hubb Lebowski: Can you remember what the boys face looked like?
Quent Yaiden: For some reason, my memory's a little fuzzy.
Hubb Lebowski: Maybe I should come back another time.
Quent Yaiden: It'll always be the same. But I'm not drunk yet tonight.
Hubb Lebowski: I don't know why I ever thought I could come to you for advice.
Quent Yaiden: You're obsessed with the wolves, huh? You're dying to know everything now. Isn't that right, Detective?
Hubb Lebowski: That dog you shot ran away.
Quent Yaiden: What a surprise.
Hubb Lebowski: And you think it put some kind of spell on us to escape?
Quent Yaiden: You got it.
Hubb Lebowski: It just isn't possible.
Quent Yaiden: These claw marks . . . and the fact that you're here should be proof enough. There are a lot more of 'em, you know. People you pass everyday in the market, the poor shlubs you sit next to in the bar . . . Any one of them could be wolves. I tell you now the words of Red Moon. From the great spirit was born the wolf, and man became it's messenger. In other words, the human race was created from wolves. So says the author of The Book of the Moon.
