These Madara quotes will have you pondering the duality of life and the meaning of peace.

The best characters are complex, hard to understand, and follow motives that are both good and evil. The villain, Madara Uchiha, from Naruto is one such character.

In the Naruto lore, Madara was one of the legendary founders of Konohagakure, a village of peace. Madara founded Konohagakure with his childhood friend and clan rival, Hashirama Senju.

However, when the two couldn’t agree on how to keep the peace they fought for leadership, and Madara was killed. Fortunately for him, Madara had the ability to rewrite his death and he came back, hiding until he could enact his revenge.

The character was created by Masashi Kishimoto who is also the creator of the Naruto series. He was voiced by Naoya Uchida in the Japanese anime while Neil Kaplan voiced him in the English version.

Because he is a villain, many of these Madara quotes are bleak. However, they offer an interesting commentary on the duality of life, power, war, and peace that we can apply to real life, as well.
