There are a lot of things i wanted to do. I wanted to become a teacher, and an astronaught, and a baker… I wanted to go to a bunch of different donut shops and ask for one of everything!

Have you ever been on a roller coaster, Togawa-kun? You're only riding on it for a few minutes, right?

For what purpose?' The reason you are here... is to support lives. If you don't go against how life should be... You're already completely... Free.

What is the meaning of "strength"? It's to have a mind that does not sway, while continuing to move forward and charge.

I want to live so that everything around me remains clean. I want to think about other people more. Pushing people out of the way and trying to climb over their heads are no good. Chasing nothing but money – that's no good eiher, like knocking your brains out trying to be a little more famous, a little more powerful. To hear the birds song and to say "Ah, they're singing!" To see the flowers and to say "Ah they're blooming!" That,s the way to live.

A princess and a tiger, huh? Such excessive names! Our names mean 'monkey' and 'lewd!' I'm so jealous!

I want to live with you someday. I don't need a reply. That's just how i fell. It's just now, i finally have the freedom to feel that way

I longed to devote my life to something valuable with a fervor that would consume my being. Young people today probably think the same way. But in our time we were not left to ourselves as they are. All of us believed in some kind of god. We believed in a scholar or in scholarship itself; we believed that right actually exists. All that kind of thing has been swept away, and philosophy, religion and morality must be created anew, from the ground up.

My own days are unrestrained and unfettered. I am no longer ruled by the dictates of the Inoue School. I dance when I want. I dance how I want. And I dance where I want.

Man is a foolish creature who wants above all to have someone else know about him.

Hey... don't lose to the world, to that common sense thing the world embraces.

Innovation is insights put into action.

God gives us all 24 hours in a day. How we spend it is up to us, how we are judged on it is up to him. Use God’s gift of time wisely.

I was thoroughly fed up with the system. I had followed the rules for all these years, but there was no way I could stay in the system and do what I wanted to do. The whole reason why the organization of Gion Kobu had been systematized in the first place was to ensure the dignity and financial independence of the women who worked there. Yet the strictures of the Inoue School kept us subservient to its authority. There was no room for any sort of autonomy.

Natürlich ist es töricht, um jeden Preis von anderen verstanden werden zu wollen. Mir war das früher auch gleichgültig, aber als ich sah, daß Sie an einem Menschen wie mir doch irgendwie interessiert sind, war ich auf der Stelle entschlossen, Ihnen alles zu zeigen.

It’s over. You will die here…alone, with no one by your side. I want to know…if that frightens you.” “I’m not afraid. My friends will come and save me. My heart is already…with them.” “Nonsense. You think your friends can save you? Do you really believe that?” “Yes. When I first heard they’d come to save me…I felt a little happy…but I was terribly sad too. I came here so that they wouldn’t get hurt. Why did they do it? Didn’t they know I wanted to keep them safe? But…feeling Rukia fall…and seeing Ichigo fight…I realized I was wrong. I just didn’t want Ichigo to get hurt. I just wanted everybody to be safe. When I had that thought…I realized…oh. Those guys feel the same. If any of them disappeared like I did…I know I’d come after them. Maybe I don’t feel exactly the way they do…but it’s possible to care about others and to put your heart in sync with theirs. To me that’s what it means to have one heart.” “Heart? You humans toss around that word like it’s nothing…as if it’s something you can hold in the palm of your hand. This eye is mine reflects everything. There is nothing it can’t penetrate. What cannot be seen does not exist. That’s what I’ve always believed. What is a heart? Can it be seen if I rip open this chest of yours? If I crush your skull? Will I find it there?

Einen wachen Geist haben, sich nicht betäuben!

Den Teeweg sollte man im Frühling und im Winter am Morgen beschreiten und am Abend beenden. Dabei sollte man das Gefühl von Schnee im Herzen tragen.

You should stand back a little, Orihime. There’s not much we can do here.” “Thanks Uryu…but… I’m sorry. I’m going to stay right here.” I know. You know you’ll only get in the way if you try to help Ichigo. And…even if you could help him…Ichigo wouldn’t want that. She knows all that. Still, she has to fight to hold herself back. Orihime’s waiting…praying for you…believing you’ll win. You’d better not lose, Ichigo. Or else…you’ll have to answer to me. Win Ichigo!

L’amour est une obsession. Il est parfaitement normal d’être obsédé par le besoin d’une tasse de thé. Alors, pourquoi n’aurais-je pas le droit d’être obsédé par toi ?

What do you think the Hogyoku’s power is? Do you think it controls the boundaries between hollows and soul reapers, two conflicting opposites? Wrong. The Hogyoku’s true power is the ability to read the hearts of those around it…and realize their deepest desires.” “What?!” “Don’t you see? Everything that has materialized around Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Kisuke Urahara…was brought into being by the Hogyoku.” “What are you saying?” “Kisuke Urahara mistook the nature of its power. He thought it controlled the boundaries between hollows and soul reapers because that was his wish as the Hogyoku’s creator. Rukia Kuchiki’s spiritual powers were all transferred to Ichigo Kurosaki causing her to to lose all her soul reaper powers because she was torturing herself for having killed Kaien Shiba. Yasutora Sado, Orihime Inoue…their special powers were awakened because deep in their hearts they cursed their own powerlessness. I knew the nature of the Hogyoku’s true power from the start. No. That’s misleading. To be precise… I knew that the Hogyoku didn’t control the boundaries between hollows and soul reapers as Kisuke Urahara claimed. Because if that were true…Shinji Hirako and the others would never have become complete visoreds. The hollowfying of Shinji Hirako and the others was an experiment in hollowfication as well as a verification of the Hogyoku’s powers. The experiment was a success. With the activation of the Hogyoku’s powers by Kisuke Urahara…Shinji Hirako and the others evolved into complete visoreds. And armed with my suspicions about the Hogyoku’s powers…I sent Rukia Kuchiki to Ichigo Kurosaki. Of course…even the Hogyoku’s power has its limits. It materializes whatever is in the hearts of the beings around it… but only if it is within the subjects’ abilities. In that sense, it is a power to lead the subject in the direction it wishes to go. But living beings are strange creatures. They are designed to realize whatever their undersized hearts desire.

Wait! Orihime! Where are you going?” “To save Ichigo!” “Wait! He’s fine! The one who kidnapped him was the boss at the place he works!” “His boss?” “She said so herself! There’s no mistake!” “You’re sure it wasn’t some weirdo?” “Well, sure she seemed weird, but everyone he hangs out with is weird to a degree!” “You’re right! That goes for me and you too.” “Huh?! Well…yeah, I guess.

Do you realize? Your healing somebody means they’re gonna get themselves hurt again! You heal Ichigo and he’s gonna suffer over and over again!” “You’re…worried about Ichigo too.” “N…no. Hey!!” “I understand. But…I came to terms with that a long time ago. If Ichigo needs my help for something… I will help him. Whatever that may be.” “Hmm…and what if Ichigo hurts himself beyond repair?” “I won’t let him get hurt beyond repair. No matter how devastating his injuries are…I’ll heal all of them!

How audacious you are! This is the type of situation when you say I’d like to see what your parents are like!” “Heh heh. You’re right. I’d like to as well.” “… What? You don’t have parents?” “No. I heard they were really abusive. My brother thought they were going to kill me…so he ran away with me when I was a baby.” “Oh. So your brother who’s raising you now is your parent! I’d like to see his face!” “Sorry. He’s dead. A distant aunt is paying for my living expenses right now. She sends less when my grades go down. But thanks to her, I make sure to study. So I’m kind of glad.” “I’m leaving! You bore me!” “Huh?!” “How can you talk about something like that with a smile on your face?? There must be something wrong with you!!” “No. Cuz…I’ve already been saved. I can talk about these things with a smile…thanks to Ichigo.” “You’re so stupid! That’s not what I was asking. It’s not like I was listening to you anyways!!” “I…I’m sorry.” “Bye!” “Wait! You’re really leaving?! Look! There are more donuts left!!” “I don’t want them! I’m tired of eating them! If you want it, you eat it!” “Thank you…Riruka! I knew you were a nice person!” “You’re such an idiot.

You must come, Lester," Inoue had said. "You must come! We will cry for this place, but also we will dance the Funky Chicken.

There are these times when I can really use a sword and during times like that... The depths of the center of my body glows. And for some reason when that happens I feel laughter well up in me and I want to pray.

All truly strong people are kind.

You may deceive other people, but not me," answered Inoue in a cold voice. "Previously I have asked the question to other fathers: What is the difference between the mercy of the Christian God and that of the Buddha? For in Japan salvation is from the mercy of the Buddha upon whom people depend out of their hopeless weakness. And one father gave a clear answer: the salvation that Christianity speaks of is different; for Christian salvation is not just a question of relying on God-in addition the believer must retain with all his might a strength of heart. But it is precisely in this point that the teaching has slowly been twisted and changed? In this swamp called Japan.

Keyakinan tak tergoyahkan membuat yang tidak mungkin menjadi mungkin.

Mi sembra che il tempo abbia rimesso tutte le cose a posto tra noi due. Tu ti sei raffreddato nei miei confronti, proprio come si raffredda un ferro incandescente, e per non essere da meno mi sono raffreddata pure io. Quando sono diventata fredda io, tu hai reagito accentuando ancora di più la tua freddezza, ed è così che si è formata questa nostra bella, glaciale famiglia, dove l'aria è talmente gelida da non riuscire a muovere nemmeno le ciglia. Ma questa parola "famiglia" è troppo viva, troppo impregnata di calore umano per adattarsi al nostro ménage. "Fortezza,", penso ne converrai anche tu, sarebbe un termine più appropriato. Se ci pensi, per più di dieci anni siamo vissuti chiusi dentro questa fortezza, tu ingannando me, e io col tempo imparando a ingannarti (sei stato tu a cominciare). Che tristi patti sanno stringere gli uomini!

Mensen zijn dwaze wezens, die graag willen dat anderen weten wie zij werkelijk zijn.

To fight famine feed their needs. To fight frustration feed their wants.

People need passion and purpose to thrive.

Hope is eternal.

Accountability and transparency is truth to power. Those that serve see the reality.

Poor purpose; perpetuates poverty .

Live your life with meaning.

Daddy, you a mean old man.

Love hurts but it can hurt worse if you allow your eyes to wander.

And Stay with them you should. Being different from somebody isn't a good enough reason to leave. It's not a reason at all. I'm sure Luon and Shelley feel the same way about you.

I hope he becomes a good boy with a pure heart. These are difficult times, and I think the most important thing for us is to be kind to others.

Living while ignoring one's connection to heaven results only in pain. If there is a point to having been born then just take it all in. Each path born is by heaven perfectly decided and at once perfectly free... as long as everything is left up to heaven.

There is no light for those who do not know darkness.

A 19-year-old with this sort of foresight and life plan was truly unprecedented and typical of his anything-but-average youth, which would explain his drive and obsession to get things done, and now. ‘For every new day, a new invention.’ Surprisingly, Son had managed to pull his invention scheme off, thanks largely to combining pre-existing things into something new. To facilitate this, he had written down random nouns in English – ‘tangerine’, ‘spike’, ‘memory’ – on cards. Once he had amassed a deck of around 300 cards, he would pull three out of the stack, turn them over, and then see whether or not the words he had chosen could be combined into a new product. The three words could be completely nonsensical together, but could still produce good ideas, no matter how eccentric
