Attack on Titan is a great anime show and with it comes great characters and Levi Ackerman quotes. It focuses on topics like comradeship and working together, brokenness but finding importance to make yourself whole again.
Theme of the Anime
I think the main topic is personal and power struggles. This anime taught with words, Attack on Titan quotes that are worth your salt.
This anime invokes so much sadness and pain as I have discovered while watching the series.
There are funny and sweet moments, too, but I can still feel the pain and frustrations of those people caught up in the power struggles between positions of power and those who wanted to become powerful.
Who is Levi Ackerman?
One of the persons who created a long-lasting impression is Levi Ackerman. Throughout the anime seasons, I think he smiled once or twice.
He has this serious expression or emotionless expression that makes me think he had it rough during his younger years.
In the anime, he's a commander of the Survey Corps with great ability and knows when to appreciate his subordinates. His most endearing character is his freakiness with cleanliness.
Survey Corps is the team where Armin Arlert and Eren Jaeger choose after passing the training.
Nevertheless, Levi Ackerman is one great character in AOT. So, I've gathered some meaningful quotes he said in the anime adaptation.

Levi Ackerman's Quotes on Self-Worth
"I want to put an end that recurring nightmare, right now. There are those who would get in my way. But I'm fine playing the role of the lunatic who kills people like that. I have to be ready to rearrange some faces. Because I choose the hell of humans killing each other over the hell of being eaten." - Levi Ackerman Quotes
This quote is a double edge sword. Yes, he's referring to the actual situation as presented in the AOT series, which is Titans eating humans.
For him, he wants to stop this madness. He'd rather have people killing people because that's just what war is. Titans are monsters. The terror of being eaten is unthinkable.
As for the other edge, Levi could be telling the viewers that it's more acceptable when people criticize you for who you are.
But, when your devils (inside) eat your resolve and what you know about yourself, it's much more terrifying. Sometimes, it's really hard to wake up from a nightmare.

So choose for yourself, whichever decision you will regret the least." Levi Ackerman Quotes

In this world, no person is going to blame you for the choice you do, no matter what. You choose the choice with the least regret. In the anime, Levi has shown that through his inspiring quotes and actions.
