Quotes:
"People are born weak. Everyone struggles through life, burdened with an identity they cannot accept. However, that doesn't mean we can only suffer as our weakness controls us. We can also struggle to face ourselves, defy them, and change ourselves. People have more freedom than they think." ~ Yoshida, Shouyou
"I'm not the kind of samurai you know. Do you think there are qualifications to become a samurai? Do you believe that without a family to protect, or a lord to serve, one cannot become a samurai? I don't think so. Bushido is the will to discipline one's weak self in order to reach one's stronger self. It refers to the act of devoting oneself to one's ideals. So both they, who study diligently and try to become better human beings, and you, who came here as a dojo challenger to grow stronger, are already samurai in my eyes. Even if your births and backgrounds are unknown, and you don't have a master to serve or a sword to fight with, you can each flaunt your own brand of bushido and become your own samurai. Guiding as many of those samurai as possible might just be my brand of bushido. You ended up here after losing your way, too, didn't you? I am the same. I am still lost. But that's all right. Doubt yourself, lose yourself and become the kind of samurai you want to be." ~ Yoshida, Shouyou
"Humans, i know you better than you know yourselves. You're foolish, cowardly, cruel, and filthy creatures. Creatures that kept repeating their mistakes, caused much suffering, and never stopped fearing me." ~ Utsuro
"Fear? Me? Fear humans? No, that's wrong. I just simply don't understand the human who caused me, who had always cursed people, to give birth to another self that loved people. Why? You shouldn't be able to stand anymore. Your sword should've been broken forever. So..... Why? Why do you still stand there? Why is it? I don't understand. I don't understand! No, I knew all along. That knowledge is what made me want to get rid of him. Him, who could possibly erase even me. I know all too well..... That boy, and how powerful humanity can be. To think that man was still a part of me.... A mere fragment born to me as I drifted through countless lives. But he has destroyed my eternity. I was the one who was a mere fragment, huh?" ~ Utsuro
"Damn it, if you're afraid of your wife, how can you cheat on her?!" ~ Kagura
"Do we really need a flashback for you?" ~ Jirochou Doromizu
"We're totally visible!" ~ Katsura Kotarou
"Girls don't participate in swimming class when it's that time of the month" ~ Sakata Gintoki
"If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." ~ Sakata Gintoki
"I'm the same way. A long time ago I did something a lot like that. There were two things I wanted to protect. I didn't want to lose either of them. But it ended up where if I didn't throw one of them, I would end up losing both. I tried to protect both, but that was the same as throwing both away... Even now, I dream about it... Wondering if there was some better way." ~ Sakata Gintoki
"Whether you're victorious or you're defeated, no matter what you protect or what you lose, there's no meaning in war. No matter how you tidy it up, it's a pointless act that ends you up with nothing but corpses and sins. There's really... nothing worth going that far to protect. If there were something like that, it would be the souls of those that are trying to build an era without such needless war, or of those that fight against themselves, rather than an enemy. And those souls still aren't dead. Not as long as there are those that carry on those feelings." ~ Sakata Gintoki
"If you'd been in my shoes back then, you would've done the same. That's why you point your sword at me. That's why you slash not yourself, but your alter ego. That's why you seek a revenge that'd hurt you far more than cutting yourself. Well, too bad for you. I... I, your alter ego, won't go down. Until you fall, and until you stop, I'll stand up as many times as it takes. Takasugi, I don't recall ever choosing you. It's just that while I knew well what you held dear, I knew what he held dear all too well. Even if I have to walk over my teacher's corpse, even if I have to walk over your corpse, I'll protect the soul of his student, our friend, and Shoka Sonjuku's Takasugi Shinsuke! I am the Disciple of Yoshida Shouyou, Sakata Gintoki!" ~ Sakata Gintoki.
“Just like you, I used to be empty. Once I lost everything and learned how terrifying that could be, I kept living an empty life, with no meaning or name of any kind. But the ones who gave meaning to the empty me once more, were the people who’d become a part of me at some point, your sister and everyone else. Those audacious pests just barged into my life, and gave me a new name. That's when I realized that I hadn't actually lost anything. That I was just cowering and running away from it all. I'm not running away anymore. Not protecting or from losing. My enemy is right here, in me. So I don't need some important-sounding name like 'strongest' or some crappy sounding name like 'idiot big brother of Earth'. I'm Yorozuya Gin-chan. I swear on the name they gave me that I won't lose.... Not to you or myself. So, Kamui, you shouldn't lose, either." ~ Sakata Gintoki.
"Before dawn, the night is darkest just before dawn. But keep your eyes open, keep them open no matter how dark the night ahead may be. If you avert your eyes from the dark, you'll be blind to the rays of a new day. " ~ Sakata Gintoki
"Don't bother telling me to run again. Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be such a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so much your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be." ~ Sakata Gintoki
"Are you scared of the war ending? Once it's over, even a hero will go back to being an ordinary man. But that's his real battlefield. Now that your body is no longer capable of running, face your suffering and struggle for the rest of your life, as an ordinary man. I'm not all that different from you. I'm drowning in the countless sins I've committed. However... If the man wrought by my sins... If that man over there tells me to stop, I have no choice but to stop." ~ Takasugi Shinsuke.
"There's a reason they're created, but they bear no purpose. They just arise to flow." ~ Ginko
“Just live normally. You’ll be better off if you can catch some fish. Dig up the caves so you can set sail whenever you need to. It wouldn’t be easy. But you have an endless amount of time ahead of you.” ~ Ginko
"Well, sometimes I do want to take a rest... When I feel that way, I set a goal like this. Then that creates some leisure time like this." ~ Ginko
“Don’t let yourself be blinded by fear or anger. Everything is only as it is.” ~ Nui
"The root of all your evils is in always relying on one of your other possibilities to get your wish. You must accept that you are the person here, now, and that you cannot become anyone else other than that person. There is no way that you can lead some worthwhile college life and feel satisfied. I guarantee it, so have confidence! There is no such thing as that rose-colored campus life. Why? Because there is nothing rose-colored in this world. Everything is all a bunch of colors mixed up, you see." ~ Seitarou Higuchi
"There is no such thing as that rose-coloured campus life. Why? Because there is nothing rose-coloured in the world. Everything is all a bunch of colours mixed up." ~ Seitarou Higuchi
"If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison. If you do not wish to leave, it is a fortress." ~ Kusuriuri
"Who was it that you killed?" ~ Kusuriuri
"Mankind is far more frightening." ~ Kusuriuri
"Personally, the very belief that medicine alone can cure one’s ailments does not sit well with me. An ineffective medicine is rendered such by one’s own lack of belief." ~ Kusuriuri
"You who have forgotten your face, Mononoke, show me your Form." ~ Kusuriuri
"The character for “face” can also be read as “exterior". The human face is nothing more than its exterior appearance. If I accept this face, it is quite easy to make it my own." ~ Kusuriuri
"Go to hell" ~ Ishida Akira to Madono Mitsuaki
"Speaking of opening~ When will you open your legs to me?" ~ Sakata Gintoki
"This headphone jack also works as a microphone" ~ Takehito "Gakuto" Morokuzu
"He pulls out his dick, then starts acting high and mighty!" ~ Midorikawa Hana
"They eat food that's soaked in the same water they poop in. It's exactly like Japanese politics." ~ Koda Minare
"I've changed, Sister... Unlike back then, I can no longer believe that my affection and passion will promise happiness to those people to whom my feelings are directed." ~ Reinhard von Lohengramm
"The wisdom of the ordinary people is better than that of a single genius." ~ Yang Wen-li
"You could say I am a vegetarian. Although as soon as I look at a delicious meat dish, I break my commandments at once." ~ Yang Wen-li
"The right to violate the rights of people belongs to the people only. In other words, when the people gave power to Rudolf von Goldenbaum or to an incomparably smaller man like Job Trunicht, the responsibility belongs to the people. It belongs to no one else. That is the important point. The sin of autocracy is that the people can push off the failures of government onto one man. Compared to that cardinal sin, the accomplishments of a hundred wise rulers seem small." ~ Yang Wen-li
"Julian, we are soldiers. And republican democracies are often born from the muzzle of guns. But the military, despite engendering democracy, should never boast of its accomplishment. And it is not an unfair thing. Because the gist of democracy lies in control by the people, who have the power. Democracy institutionalises the control of the power-holders by law and organisation. And the military needs this control the most. They fight for the political structure that fundamentally denies them. The military of a democracy must accept that contradictory structure. The only things a military can demand from its government are a retirement pension and paid leave; that is about it. In other words, the rights of the workers - they cannot demand for more than that." ~ Yang Wen-li
"But still, without measures like the ones Fleet Admiral Oberstein is taking, can peace, unity and order be established in the universe? If that is the case, why did Kaiser Reinhard and Admiral Yang have to repeat the bloodshed over and over again? If the measures that seem the most despicable are the measures that most effectively reduce bloodshed, why do humans seek the path of righteousness and suffer in the process?" ~ Julian Mintz
“A man, slave to gold, holds a whip…And beats the slave he bought with that gold as if to claim HE is the master. He just doesn’t see it for himself. Every living human being is a slave to something.” – Askeladd
"The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing." ~ Deishuu Kaiki
"Meat... Eat meat! Meat." ~ Daishu Kaiki
"As long as they have meat, people can be happy" ~ Daishu Kaiki
“Humans have a desire for truth or desire to believe that what they know is the truth. In other words, what the truth is exactly second to that. Be careful of what is the truth and what is lie. In other words, always doubt yourself. Harbor an inner devil as you read along… and I won’t forget to add that by that point, you might have already fallen into my trap.” ~ Daishu Kaiki
"I like money. I'll tell you why, because money can take place of everything. It's very precious, but on top of that it's not something that's irreplaceable. That's why I like it." Conversely, I hate irreplaceable things. "I can't live without this" or "This is the reason why I'm alive" or "That is the purpose of why I was born" Scarcity value pisses me off to no end." ~ Daishu Kaiki
"In the battlefield, there is no place for hope. What lies there is only cold despair and a sin called victory, built on the pain of the defeated. All those people who met there have wholeheartedly admitted the evil and foolishness of this act called war. As long as people don’t repent and don’t regard it as the most evil taboo, then hell will endlessly reappear in the world." ~ Kiritsugu Emiya
“They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory.” ~ Kiritsugu Emiya
"We both think of ourselves as sinners. And we stood firm on one way of life in order to shake that off." ~ Shirou Emiya
