"The day before yesterday, I saw a rabbit. Yesterday, it was a deer. And today, it’s you." Kotomi Ichinose - Clannad

And finally face evil, become mountain.
Even if your life is in danger never go back!" Roshi - Saint Seiya

Those words opened my eyes, they gave me a meaning when I had nothing end to be able to say them myself has been the only reason I've lived for.

Even now that I'm trying my hardest to give up on that dream, every time I remember her those words come to my mind and I end up hoping to reach her again...

"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone."

Some of these may sound edgy, but whatever.

"I'll become a human torch today and give full reign to my suffering." Yanagihara Sakuratou (3-gatsu no Lion 2nd Season)

"People can't understand everything about each other and yet, people live together. The love of sharing trivial, meaningless things with others is human nature. I suppose that's why people can't stand to be alone."Yuurakutei Yakumo (Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu)

"At this time, I thought we were just lucky. That unfair and cruel God altered our fate with a tiny miracle on a whim. I thought we even had the right to be happy." Takakura Shouma (Mawaru Penguindrum)

If you like them then who cares if they are edgy, don't let people tell you what you should and should not like. That human torch quote is pretty good though.

"Mankind...
Back when still walked on all fours, we had in front of us... the butt. Then, from the time mankind starting walking on two legs, we stopped having butts stuck in our faces all the time, and in their place, what appeared in front of our faces... were boobs! Women grew larger breasts, to take the place of buttocks. The original source of life is the buttocks! Boobs are just a substitute! Boobs are nothing more than a pale imitation of the buttocks! If asked what you'd rather have, a copy or an original, naturally, I would choose the original!"

"Even if you've only got a 1% chance of winning, but you convince yourself you're gonna lose, that 1% becomes 0%" and "Once you’re gone, that’s it. What’s so heroic and noble about being dead?"

Both those quotes cemented Lina Inverse being one of my favorite characters.

Some of my favorite quotes are from the Monogatari series. some of the quotes that stuck out to me are:

“In the end, we all adjust our personalities in a way that appeals to those we want to like. It’s a bit dishonest though, I think. While you’re embroiled in that deception, you lose and lose sight of so much.” - Araragi

"Polnareff, have you ever considered why humans wish to live? Humans live hoping to conquer their anxieties and fear, and attain peace of mind. Seeking fame, controlling others, and acquiring wealth are all done to achieve peace of mind. Marriage and friendship are also pursued as means of attaining peace of mind. When humans say they wish to help others, or that a thing is done for love or justice...it's all merely to give themselves peace of mind. To achieve peace of mind is the goal of all mankind."

DIO

There's a million different translations and variations of it, but the core stays the same. Such a good quote, and I've felt that way even before hearing it, so it sticks with me.

"For the team." - Rin Matsuoka, Free!

There was something about this quote that struck me, even though it's so simple. I guess it's the idea of friendship and unity that it promotes, like certain things you do isn't just for yourself or some bland reason, it's for the people you love and consider a team.
