Bleach

SōSuke Aizen (藍染 惣右介, Aizen SōSuke):
To trust in another is the same as to rely upon that person. Reliance is for the weak. It is of no use to us. It is the nature of all living things to find some being greater than themselves and place their trust in that being, following it blindly. In order to escape from the pressure of that trust, those beings seek a still greater entity in which to believe, and those greater beings too seek still greater, still stronger beings to follow. This is how all kings come to be, and this is how all Gods are born. Do not trust in me yet, Hirako Shinji. I will take my time to teach you the nature of the God whom you face. Then, you shall believe.[55]
