I have no intention of bringing you a rope to hang yourself. But if it's a rope to pull you out of hell, I'll bring as many as you want.

Anime – it’s not something that can be thought of in a hall for conferences. It is made out of strange juices current from the brain of animators.

The best way to live a full life is to be a child, no matter what your age.

People need to live their life with a clear conscience. When you want to walk on a straight path, somehow you get yourself stained with mud. However, as long as we never give up, one day the mud on you will dry up and fall off.

My lips exist solely for strawberry milk and chocolate parfaits!

A farewell is like the other side of a coin. It will only happen when there is an encounter.

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.

Bad things always happen, unlike good ones. You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you.

It’s as if you are stuck in some predetermined program, following some predetermined script. If you really want to live in reality, then fight against it. Break through destiny with your own hands, and build your own reality! Isn't this real life? Isn't that a real player? The one who plays the game of life?!

Planets are just places for people to stand on. Planets are just rocks. It takes people to make it a world.

There is no need for any proof. There is no need to create any. We just have to live every second to the fullest, and the traces of the path we lived will burn into the ground. That will serve as proof of our existence.

The night is in its darkest just before dawn. But keep your eyes open.

Sake 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.

If you run into a wall and pretend it doesn’t exist, you’ll never make progress. The wall will never change, so you’re the one who has to change. Now you're just making excuses to the wall.
