Hello everyone!
Hope you are all staying strong in these strange times.

Here's what I was wondering, what are your favorite anime quotes?
I love over the top speeches, catchphrases, smart and thought provoking dialogue.

The following are some of mine:

  • “Fear is not evil. It tells you what your weakness is. And once you know your weakness, you can become stronger as well as kinder.”
    - Gildarts, episode 99, Fairy Tail.

  • "Reality, huh?How did you learn of the reality that you speak of?
    The entire world is governed by the reasoning of dirty-minded adults. We're able to obscure reality according to our obsessions. We're never actually shown what reality is. In this case, the reality that you speak of is a half-baked nonsense that has been altered.
    Trying to conform this bullshit reality into the one you want is like trying to join two pieces of a puzzle that do not fit."
    - Dr. Franken Stein, Soul Eater(Can't remember/check which episode, maybe in the end of 39, or 37)

  • “Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous?
    These terms have always changed throughout the course of history!
    Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values!
    Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right!
    This very place is neutral ground!
    Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!”
    - Donquixote Doflamingo, episode 465, One Piece.

  • Believe in yourself. Not in the you who believes in me. Not the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.
    - Kamina, episode 8, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

"survival of the fittest, the strong shall live and the weak shall die" - Shishio of Samurai X made me realize darwinism like social darwinism as one truth of society especially with capitalism and ye obviously its not literal shall live or shall die kind but more of social death or financial success kind

"just because youre (scientifically) correct does not mean youre (morally) right" - Shiro of Fate Unlimited Bladeworks, the scientifically and morally words are just my added interpretation that rationalize whats Shiro is really trying to imply with the words correct and right difference

2. "Fake people have image to maintain, real people just don't care."

3. “It is better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for who you are not.”

4. "It doesn’t matter if we’re wrong…because every time we go wrong, we’ll continue to look for the right answer.”

It does, just worded slightly differently (though it might be because of translations in subs vs the novels)

Gintama is full of quotable quotes.

If you have time to think of a beautiful end, why don't you just live beautifully until the end?
- Sakata Gintoki

It’s quite easy for humans to become adults, but to always have a child-like heart that makes everything joyful isn’t such an easy task.
- Hattori Zenzou

Ironic, isn't it? How people without truly important things know about them more than those who have them.
- Sakata Gintoki

Change you say? Change is never easy in this world. I can’t even change one friend, let alone a whole country.
- Katsura Kotarou

Sake (rice wine) sure is nice. You can forget your troubles if only for a moment. You'll have to remember them tomorrow though, and they'll be even more painful than they were the night before. You can't run away from things like this. Especially from things you really want to forget.
- Sakata Gintoki

Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you’ll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else.
- Obi Hajime

Life is like a mountain. You can say you have reached the top only after climbing back down.
- Sakata Gintoki

Some lies are necessary for giving children dreams.
- Shimura Tae

Happiness depends on each person. If you think you’re happy, then you must be happy.
- Sakata Gintoki

Love is based on unpredictable events.
- Katsura Kotarou

A farewell is like the other side of a coin. It will only happen when there is an encounter. Rather than dreading the day we have to part, shouldn’t we be happy that we had the chance to meet today instead?
- Sakata Gintoki

The only people who say that money doesn’t matter in this world are the ones with lots of it.
- Takasugi Shinsuke

There's no short-cut to becoming strong. Even if you try to look strong on the outside, that thin layer will soon fall off.
- Shimura Shinpachi

You’re absolutely right. I can’t do anything alone. Everyone has their flaws and imperfections, but that’s what drives us to work together. To make up for those flaws. Together, we make the perfect protagonist.
- Sakata Gintoki

TTGL is great, but barely mentioned is one of it's predecessor, Diebuster has an over the top awesome speech too.

"I, Nono, was truly a fool. Whether you have a Buster Machine or not is irrelevant! Those who think things like, "If only I had a Buster Machine.." can never reach the true top! That's because, that's because true power resides in those who believe in their power to the very end! Surely a true Buster Machine pilot, a true Nono-Riri*, has a Buster Machine inside their heart!!!"
*Nono-Riri refer to Nono's idol, the legendary pilot.

"You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want." - Ging Freecss, Hunter x Hunter

As a former INTJ, my way of seeing life was like a horse with blinkers on. So when I was forced to bend away from the future that I foresaw due to failed plans and major embarrassments, I turned into a dark mess filled with self-doubt & anxiety.

This quote describes my turning point where I realized that it's okay to fuck up, that all these detours you're taking might actually be better for you because you're about to find out something that is much, MUCH more important to you than your end goal.

I have yet to find out what it was, but this quote is like receiving a pat on the back, telling everything will be alright and that I should just /chill/ and have fun.

Nope. It is actually from episode 16 last segment when Yuuko went to hang out in Hakase's place. Without spoiling the content, it was in the final conversation of that episode between Nano and Yuuko. I will not forget this line. Ever. This line, among many others, got this anime in my all time faves after all.
