My favorite quotes from anime/manga characters. Not all, but some that caught my attention:


“Once you've met someone you never really forget them.“
Zeniba (Spirited Away)

“You hate yourself, don't you? That's why you hurt others. Deep down you know you suffer more when you cause someone else pain... than if you just let yourself get hurt. But Shinji, that was your decision, so it makes it a valid choice. That's what you wanted. So, that makes it worthwhile. Stop lying to yourself and realize that you *do* have options. Then... accept the choices you've made.“
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one gain without sacrificing something. But, by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart: a fullmetal heart.“
Edward Elric (FMA: Brotherhood)

“Okay, asking somebody how long they believed in Santa Claus is so stupid, you can't even consider the topic suitable for idle conversation. But if you still wanna know how long I believed in some old fat guy who wears a funky red suit, I can tell you this: I've never believed in him, ever. The Santa that showed up at my kindergarten Christmas festival, I knew he was fake. And I never saw mommy kissing Santa or anything. But I have to say, that even as a little kid, I knew better than to believe in some old man that only worked one day a year. Now, having said that, it wasn't until I got older that I realized that aliens, time travelers, ghosts, monsters, espers, the evil syndicates and the anime/manga/fantasy flick heroes that fight said evil syndicates, were also fake. Okay, I guess I always knew those things were bogus, I just didn't wanna admit it. All I ever wanted was for an alien, time traveler, ghost, monster, esper, evil syndicate, or the hero that fought them to just appear and say "Hey". Unfortunately, reality is a hard road indeed. Yep, you gotta admit, the laws of physics definitely puts a damper on things. I even stopped watching those TV shows about aliens and ghosts and stuff. Aliens, time travelers, espers; of course they don't exist, but a little part of me wishes that they did. I guess I've grown up and realized I can think about those things and still accept reality. But by the time I got out of junior high, I pretty much outgrew that kind of stuff and I guess I got used to the idea of living in an ordinary world. Just like that, I was in high school...that's when I met her.“
Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

“Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living.“
Osa (Mononoke Hime)

“All men are jealous and stupid, and all women are stupid to be happy about it, idiots are everywhere you look!“
Holo (Spice and Wolf)

“I believe in ghosts, even though I've never seen one before and get this. I don't believe in anyone of the people that have said they seen one before. It's kind of like how I think about the concept of love. Like I believe one day I'll fall in love, get married and live happily ever after, even though I've never actually fallen in love with anyone yet. You see what I'm saying? For some people falling in love is like second nature, but I can't even relate to that. So if I've never fallen in love before is it real? And that makes me wonder if ghost are real. I haven't seen one yet so maybe they're not.... I don't want to get so caught up in searching for what I can't see, that I lose sight of what I can.“
Minori Kushieda (Toradora)

“Nothing's perfect, the world's not perfect, but It's there for us, trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful.“
Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

“No one knows what the future holds. That's why its potential is infinite.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)

“Those of us in the last year of our compulsory education always get adults asking us things like "What kind of career are you pursuing?" or "Do you have any dreams for the future?" And I, 14-year-old Moritaka Mashiro, always answer with "I don't know" or "I haven't decided yet." The normal path means getting into a good high school, a good college and good company to work for. So I guess I'm just going to have a normal life. I don't want to cause any problems for my parents. I don't want to be called a shut-in. That's why I go to school even though it's so much easier to stay at home and sit in front of the computer or play video games. I don't want to be called a freeloader in the future, so I'll become a white-collar worker even though I don't want to. The people who make it to the top in society are the guys who get good grades right now. We're already separated into ranks...so, it'll just be an extension of where we are now. What a boring future. It's such pain to live. And that's my view of life after being a good kid and going with the flow for 14 years.“
Moritaka Mashiro (Bakuman)

“Any new position from which you view your reality will change your perception of its nature. It's all literally a matter of perspective.“
Maya Ibuki (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“Theories are nothing more than words. Accept what you've seen.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)

“It will be alright. All lifeforms have the power to restore themselves and the wish to live. If you decide to live, anywhere can be heaven, because you're alive. There will be chances to be happy everywhere. As long as the Sun, Moon and Earth exist...it will be alright.“
Yui Ikari (End of Evangelion)

“Say, Simon, do you know why people have eyes at the front? It's to see the vast landscape, and to move forward. If we had eyes in the back, we'd only see ourselves leaving our birthplace. That way, people wouldn't be able to move forward. Our eyes are at front, so that when we walk, the distant landscape draws closer.“
Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

“The difference between your judgement and ours is something that arises from the gap in our experience. But not relying on something like that is just fine. Choose. Whether you should believe in yourself, or believe in the Survey Corps, myself included. I myself don't know... I never have. Whether I believed in my own abilities, or whether I believed in the decisions of my trusted comrades, in the end no one ever knew what the outcome would be. So I guess... you have to do your best to make a decision that you won't regret.“
Levi Ackerman (Shingeki no Kyojin)

“Laziness is the mother of all bad habits. But ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her.“
Shikamaru Nara (Naruto)

“Miracles have value only when we make them happen.“
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“This is really wonderful. This is such a happy environment. It's too dazzling for me. This is the way people live their lives. Isn't it just beautiful? I'm envious. If I vanish now, could I start over anew? Could I accept normal happiness? If I lost my memories, and got a different personality, I might be able to. But then, what does it mean to be reborn? That isn't the life I had anymore. It's someone else's life. Everyone only gets to live life one time, and it's right here. I only get it once. This is my life. I can't entrust it to someone. I can't steal a new one. I can't force it on others. I can't forget it, or erase it. I can't stomp over it, laugh it off, or beautify it. I can't anything, I'd have to- I'd have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel or merciless or unfair I thought it was. Sir, don't you understand? That is why I must fight. I must keep on fighting, because- because I could never accept that kind of life!“
Yuri Nakamura (Angel Beats!)

“Listen, Simon, and never forget: Believe in yourself! Not in me, who believes in you. Not in you who believes in me.. Believe in yourself, who believes in you!!“
Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

“The power of imagination is the ability to create your own future and power to create your own flow of time.“
Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“No one knows the future. It's because the past cannot be undone that people can accept all sorts of pain, adversity, and cruel accidnets, yet still move forward.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryōiki no Déjà vu)

“During the hard times, he would plug his ears with headphones and escape into the world of music. I started doing the same. I felt like everything was being blasted away. Like the vocalist was screaming for me. That he was singing for me. I began to believe that those who spoke rationally were wrong, and those crying out were right. It made me realize that we lonely people were the ones who were truly human-like. That music screamed, tore apart, and destroyed the unfairness that existed. It saved me.“
Masami Iwasawa (Angel Beats!)

“This world is cruel and merciless, but It's also very beautiful.“
Mikasa Ackerman (Shingeki no Kyojin)

“We all live under the same sky. If each of us learns to shine, it won't matter how far apart we are. We'll be able to see each other.“
Minori Kushieda (Toradora)

“What's wrong in running away from reality if it sucks?“
Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“Maybe there are copies of me on countless world lines. Maybe all their minds are connected, forming a single "me." That sounds wonderful, don't you think? Being in all times and in all places. A strong love for someone... a strong belief in something... a strong desire to convey something... If all those things go beyond time to create "you"...then that would be magnificent. So don't think of it as letting me die. Even if the world line changes, as long as you don't forget me, I'll always be there.....
I'm sure that from now on you're going to suffer. You'll be in a world where no one but you remembers me. You care more about your friends than anything else, so I think it's going to be painful for you. I'm so sorry. But that pain will mean a lot to me. Whenever you're sitting around in the lab, whenever you sip a drink, whenever you walk around town ... it doesn't have to be every time, it can be one time out of a hundred. But I'd like you to remember me... because I'll be there. I'll be there, beyond 1% barrier!“
Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate)

“Logic has no meaning in the relationship between a man and a woman.“
Ritsuko Akagi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“If the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?“
Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geass)

“There is nothing, but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you're afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you're afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you're afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, "I won't let them cut me." If you protect someone, "I won't let them die." If you attack, "I will kill them." Well, can't you see the resolve to kill you in my sword?“
Urahara Kisuke (Bleach)

“So fucking what if I'm not you?! That doesn't mean it's okay for you to give up! If you do, I'll never forgive you as long as I live. God knows I'm not perfect either. I've made tons of stupid mistakes and later I regretted them. And I've done it over and over again, thousands of times. A cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every time I learned something about myself.“
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“This isn't divine jugdement. It's the work of some childish killer who's playing at divine retribution. That's all.“
L Lawliet (Death Note)

“Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No. More feminine than ANY woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight and yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)

“Those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.“
Kakashi Hatake (Naruto)

“However, as always, this girl was thinking up all sorts of nonsensical stuff. I can't help but wonder if there's a black hole inside her head, since her common sense seems to come from a different universe altogether.“
Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

“What is life? Why do people live? Someone asked me that, and then I beat him within an inch of his life.“
Heiwajima Shizuo (Durarara!!)

“You sure say some funny things. Solitude? Does that only apply to me? Who isn't alone in this society? The time when our connection to others was the basis of our selves is long gone. In this world where everyone is watched over by the system and live within the system's standards, a community isn't necessary. Everyone just lives in their own cell, and the system tames them by giving them each their own personal serenity.“
Shogo Makishima (Psycho-Pass)

“The closer we become, the more deeply we hurt each other.“
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“Get going Simon, just don't be distracted by the what-ifs, should-haves and if-onlys. The one thing you choose yourself, THAT is the truth of your universe.“
Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

“I'm not rude... I just wasn't taught to politely pretend to be nice to people I can't stand.“
Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!)

“My name is Lelouch vi Britannia, I am the eldest son of Empress Marianne, the prince who was abandoned by his empire. If anyone wishes to stop me, let them try, if there is anyone who can go beyond my despair.“
Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geass)

“The Law doesn’t protect people. People protect the law. People have always detested evil and sought out a righteous way of living. Their feelings… The accumulation of those people’s feelings are the law. They’re neither the provisions nor the system. They are the fragile and irreplaceable feelings that everyone carries in their hearts. Compared to the power of anger and hatred, they are something that can quite easily break down. People have prayed for a better world throughout time. In order for those prayers to continue to hold meaning, we have to try our best to protect it to the very end. We just can’t give up on it.“
Akane Tsunemori (Psycho-Pass)

“And without any buildup or fanfare, we now see Nagato Yuki. Even if she were ordinary, she sure doesn't look like a normal person and naturally, she was actually an evil magician. And an alien on top of that.“
Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

“Are you afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, but you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone. Pain is something man must carry in his heart, and since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe that life is pain.“
Kaworu Nagisa (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“I don't have have much time. It's not that I'm busy, but I'm only willing to give you about two and a half more minutes of my life!“
Shizuo Heiwajima (Durarara!!)

“My happiness can only be made by my own hands. My happiness doesn't depend on anyone but me!“
Minori Kushieda (Toradora)

“There are...many types of monsters in this world: Monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble; monsters who abduct children; monsters who devour dreams; monsters who suck blood, and... monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though they have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it. Because in truth, I am that monster.“
L Lawliet (Death Note)

“You think you're special? You're not. Everyone lies, everyone hides things... Nobody makes it through this life being completely honest.“
Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!)

“There's something wrong with people who seek reality in fiction.“
Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

“Giving up halfway is worse than never trying at all. Come on! Get up! MOVE IT!“
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“Everyone is alone. Everyone is empty. People no longer have need of others. You can always find a spare for any replacement. Any relationship can be replaced. I had gotten bored of a world like that.But for some reason… the thought that someone other than you might kill me never occurred to me. Say, what do you think Kougami? After this, will you be able to find a replacement for me? “
Shogo Makishima (Psycho-Pass)

“Why are you staring at me? Are you annoyed that I am the only one who has cake? “
L Lawliet (Death Note)

“If you want to grant your own wish, then you should clear your own path to it.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)

“Reality is such pain. And for those of us who get fed up with that kind of reality, we simply choose to make a new one. We create little walls, and separate the trash from the stuff we like, and when that’s all done we keep the things we care about and kick the rest to the curb. You’d be amazed how well it works! A whole world made out of just moe, tsundere, and BL it’s the best discovery ever! If you ask me that really it the best way to separate reality, from fiction.“
Karisawa Erika (Durarara!!)

“Mankind’s greatest fear is Mankind itself.“
Gendo Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“If you trip while running down a hallway, you'll get a nosebleed. If you trip in life, you'll cry.“
Minori Kushieda (Toradora)

“Nothing amazing happens here. Everything is ordinary. The huge factory that can be seen from our town, the Medical Mechanica Plant, all the adults got excited when it came here, like it was really a big thing. The white steam that billows out every day at the same time, it looked to me like smoke that signified some kind of omen. Smoke that spreads out and covers everything.“
Naota Nandaba (FLCL)

“Hey mister, I am mad scientist. It's SO COOOOOL!!! Sonovabitch.“
Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate)

“The fate of destruction is also a joy of rebirth.“
SEELE (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

“Oh man... those clouds are so lucky. So free. More to the point, I didn't feel like doing this in the first place. And I only became a ninja because I thought life would've been more interesting as one... I suppose things aren't gonna be that simple.“
Shikamaru Nara (Naruto)
