"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 |

*Insert Hikigaya Hachiman quotes* 1. "Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many." 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.” There are many, many more. But here are a few |

But here are a few so this are the words of that very popular Hachiman guy welp he is more realistic or harsh truth red pill kind than a pessimist from those quotes alone |

Mysterious things, when you were a child you used to think "They exist for sure!", but all of a sudden it changes to, "It would be nice if they existed." I wonder when and why you stop believing. - Mizunashi Akari, Aria Series Life is like a soap bubble. It rides on the wind, flying here and there. And before you realize it, pop! It’s gone. When it’s about to disappear, you think that you could’ve flown a bit higher. But by the time, it’s already too late. - Sakata Gintoki, Gintama The only thing human are equal is in death. - Johan Liebert, Monster. Nano is Nano. - Yuuko Aoi, Nichijou Fun things are fun. - Hirasawa Yui, K-On! |

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 |

“The world is indeed full of malice, but there are some pitfalls one can avoid as long as one knows of them. Ignorance is a sin, after all.” – Holo “What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?” – Lelouch vi Britannia “I’m selfish, I know. But to keep you only mine, I will do everything I need to do, even if it’s illegal.” – Yuno Gasai “You can’t ever win if you’re always on the defensive. To win, you have to attack!” – Light Yagami “The weak are destined to lie beneath the boots of the strong. If that angers you, overcome your deficits.” – Esdeath “It's useless! From here on, the path is only a One-Way Road! Just put your tail between your legs and get your ass back where you came from!” – Accelerator “You were ready to kill another creature, yet you’re scared of being killed yourself. Don’t you think that is strange? When you point a gun at a living thing… this is what that act means.” – Kurumi Tokisaki ”Hero of Justice? A world where no one is hurt? Don’t be absurd. Humanity is the name for an animal that cannot find joy in life without sacrifice.” – Gilgamesh “All this time, I’ve lived in hope of telling you how sorry I am, I’ve fought armies, just to have this chance, but now, there’s nothing I can say.. That’s good enough.” – Lucy “Fake people have image to maintain, real people just don't care.” – Hachiman Hikigaya |

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. Talking about LotGH, my favorite is easily Bucock's toast to democracy. |

*insert Berserk or Inio Asano quotes* "Dreams. Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind.

"i have no fear of death. it just means dreaming in silence. a dream that lasts for eternity." - Vincent Volaju, Cowboy Bebop "Humans constantly feel pain in their hearts. Because the heart is so sensitive to pain, humans also feel that to live is to suffer." -Kaworu Nagisa, NGE “There are some flowers you only see when you take detours.”– Tanaka Saeko, Haikyuu “I don’t give a rat’s ass about going to hell.

I don't care if no one like me, i wasn't created in this world to entertain everyone. -Houtarou Oreki (Hyouka) Being alone is better than being with the wrong person. -L (Death Note) Life is not a game of luck.

It ends when they lose faith. -Uchiha Itachi (Naruto) A goal with no plan called delusion.

"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. |

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. |
