| Mine is: “If You Fall In Love, You Will Truly Become Alone.” - Maquia It defined loneliness which is really basic to hear, but one quote from Maquia movie jerked my tears and heart as if most of my beloved friends and families will pass away while I’m still playing myself as a self-independent “protagonist” in this world to learn and explore anything before my eyes, heart, and soul. Whether psychopathic or not, what triggered our loneliness is one or more losses of your precious existence/essence/relationship. Every “depraved” deed was always started by in-denial as a starting phase of our grief. (Search “5 stages of grief” for understandable reference). The ending explains a lot too in a movie. Honorable one (not come from anime though): “—Ah, why must love fade?” - Echidna, Re: Zero Greed IF story (Web novel) Another one: “All I do is talk a big game, and make myself sound like a big shot, when I can’t do anything! I never do anything yet I can complain like a pro. Who do I think I am?! It’s amazing to that I can live like this and not feel ashamed.” - Subaru Natsuki |

| I get chills from reading team banners from Haikyuu!! One of my personal favorites is Shiratorizawa’s banner that says “ Irresistable Force”, it is a perfect summary of their team philosophy and their play style. Some other great examples are: - Seijoh: “Rule the Court” - Nekoma: “Connect” - Date Tech: “Iron Wall of Date” - Johzenji: “Simplicity and Fortitude”  |

| "With no relation to social status, class, background, whether it suits them or not, people yearn for a dream. Sustained by a dream, hurt by a dream, revived by a dream, killed by a dream. And even after being abandoned by a dream, it continues to smolder from the bottom of one's heart, probably until the verge of death. A man should envision such a lifetime once. A life spent as a martyr...to the God named "Dream". Ultimately, to be born, and then to simply live for no better reason...I can't abide such a life. They are...excellent troops. Together we have faced death so many times. They are my valuable comrades, devoting themselves to the dream I envision. But to me, a friend is...something else. Someone who would never depend on another's dream. Someone who wouldn't be compelled by anyone, but would determine and pursue his own reason to live...And should anyone trample that dream, he would oppose him body and soul, even if that threat were me myself. What I think a friend is...is one who is my "Equal"" Berserk, Griffith to Guts (if i remember correctly). This quote is especially great on a rewatch/reread since if one knows whats going to happen this makes so much more sense and perfectly establishes Griffith's Ideals. Miura and Asano are probably the most quotable Mangaka evoar. I dont really like short quotes that much though, they almost every time are cheesy and the character that actually said them is are so interchangeable, many of them are just very similar quotes of ones that are used time and time again. Especially when it comes to genres that often have problems with a lot of overused stereotypes, like battle shounen for example. I must agree on the Maquia one, there if taken into context it become totally non interchangeable. “If you truly desire greatness, you must first know what makes you weak!” every Battle Shounen ever. This time Fairy Tail. (this was on a list of most notable quotes from said show) |

| “Even a child that receives one bit of praise has the ability to excel in a single talent, and those who receive regular encouragement can feel confidence, achieve success, and become leading members of society. Because they don’t believe they are worthless, they don’t need to raise a fist and have vengeance against fate or the world at large.” – Inspector Lunge “What is education? Isn’t education meant to create a person that conforms to society? What kind of education must be administrated to create a human being that meets the society’s demands? Education is an experiment.” – Mikhail Petrov “Killing’s easier than you think; you just have to forget how sweet the sugar is.” – Rosso These 3 quotes from Monster come to mind for me. I still think about them from time to time. |

| Not anime, but Funny Valentine's speech from Steel Ball Run "Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals." |

| "Man fears two things:death nad embarassment."- Gintoki It's one of those cheesy Gintama lines (they have a lot of those and I love them all), but it really hit me. Before watching this episode I hadn't realized how paranoid I was (and still am) about avoiding all embarassment. I'm sure there are smarter anime quotes I've seen, but this one, even though it's simple nad corny, has stuck with me for all this time. |

Also gonna add one from G'Kar in Babylon 5 because it's been very informative for me personally and because no one can stop me. |

Well, some long quotes can be cringy as hell too if it was just waste of time expressing their pointless speech such as politician or any some sort of “formal” speech. It’s like a waste of time creating a dialogue... if there’s no clear context. Short quotes can unnoticeable, but it still holds the meaning to it whether you like it or not. A great lofty quote in terms of situation would be one-on-one conversation. Thus, whether quote is long or short, what matters is the clear context itself before/after one’s words. |

| I've always liked this one quote originally by Otto von Bismarck that gets spoken by Ginoza in Psycho-Pass: Only a fool learns from his own mistakes, the wise learn from the mistakes of others. This one by Holo in Spice and Wolf also really sticks with me: I am Holo the Wise Wolf. I know there are things in this world that I don't know. That makes me wise. There are these two big monologues in the last episode/chapter of Parasyte that completely changed how I look at the world and others. Honestly there are too many inspirational, relatable and/or thought provoking lines in anime to name them all but a lot of them are in my favorites. There are too many Cowboy Bebop ones to choose just one. |

| Episode 19 and 20 of Texhnolyze. The idea of our race blissfully heading towards its own extinction. The concept of the Apocalypse being so calm and serene is a frightening thought as apposed to the usual chaotic and grey worlds depicted in most other media. After viewing those episodes multiple times over the last decade I still get an uneasy and unsettling feeling which lingers with me for days. Almost no other peace of media has had that kind of effect on me. |
| The vast majority of quotes just come off as pretentious or BS that only applies to the world of anime and not my own life. I may like or agree with some quotes or ideas, but I sure as hell don't think about them after I've finished watching the episode/anime. Anime must attract plenty of emotionally wrecked losers if quotes are hitting you especially hard and you're contemplating them for a long time. |
