Kenshin Quotes

You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin

In this world of memories, there's no need for strangers. -Kenshin to Kaoru

The dead don't desire revenge, but the happiness of the livng. To dirty your small hands would bring joy to no one. -Kenshin to Eiji

Well, if you live long enough, you lose a lot. Just as long as you don't throw them away. Whatever you loose, you'll find again, but what you throw away you never get back. -Oibore (Enishi's dad) to Yahiko and Misao

Idiot. Which road do you take when you're running from something weaker than yourself? Or maybe you're the one looking for an excuse to back out.

I don't have anything left. My strength is pouring out of me just as my blood is. I've been in a death-storm countless times before. Is this death in its true form?

They all walk their own paths, live their own lives. A journey without farewells, a beginning without end. It is a little lonely, but that's how it is

Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death.

No, that's not the case at all. Shishio's logic dictates that the winner of a battle, in other words, the strong, is always correct that it does. If the truth could be discovered through fighting one or two battles, then we'd all be going through life without ever being wrong. A person's life isn't so simple a matter that it isn't. The true answer is something you find out yourself by how you live your life from this day onward that it is." -Kenshin

—El combarradh es el símbolo que hace que nunca vayas desnudo. El amor de tu pareja, el respeto y la fidelidad de tu mitad harán que te sientas siempre protegido. En ella encontrarás un alma que siempre te acompañará, un cuerpo que te proveerá de lo que necesites, y un amor que nunca perecerá, aunque encuentres dificultades en el camino. No se trata de un amor perfecto, no lo es. Pero es especial. ¿Crees que en la actualidad es obsoleto? Propónselo a los humanos y serían capaces de darte lo que les pidieras a cambio de una entrega incondicional de ese tipo. Y lo firmarían a ciegas porque es algo que no encuentran. En su mundo nada es para siempre: las personas vienen y van, no permanecen, no se mantienen al lado de uno hasta que la muerte los separe. Juran unos votos ante su dios y al cabo de unos años, los rompen con mentiras, malos comportamientos, falta de respeto por sus familias y muchas cosas más… Algunos ni siquiera juran esos votos por miedo a romperlos y se excusan diciendo que no creen en ellos. Nada tiene valor aquí. Cuando algo se complica, en vez de luchar por ello, abandonan. Y no entienden que comportándose así dejan de darle valor a las cosas, incluso a sí mismos. Ya se han olvidado de cumplir sus promesas. Kenshin la escuchaba con tanta atención que bebía de ella. Sus palabras estaban llenas de coherencia y también de una pasión digna de envidiar. —El Comharradah te enseña a amar no porque esa persona sea perfecta. El nudo perenne te marca el camino a seguir para creer en la perfección de esa persona imperfecta que hay exclusivamente para ti —resumió él.

In the world of old memories, there's no room for visitors

I must have dislocated my pelvis!" -Rurouni

Was man verloren hat, findet sich manchmal wieder, aber was man aufgegeben hat, kommt nie zurück.

Although your decision to die is firm, your decision to become a god has caused you to suffer. You suffered, wondering why you couldn't cure Magdalia's illness, wondering why you weren't capable of saving her. All you wanted to do was protect your only sister, wasn't that it? Not in heaven, but here on Earth. You wanted to make Lady Maldaria happy more than anything else, didn't you? And so now, to avoid the guilt of your loved one dying at your expense, you're willing to die yourself. You've already come to this realization. You know you aren't god. You're just a fragile human being who's capable of feeling pain and having doubts. Go back to being an ordinary man and start all over again for the sake of those who look up to you." -Kenshin

In the world of old memories, there's room for visitors

Ōkami searched for signs of the girl he loved, hidden behind the gaping dragon’s maw of Hattori Kenshin’s chin guard. Signs of her ingenuity. Signs of her quiet brilliance. The slightest suggestion of any similarity.

Kajii's memories of Niigata were cut off at the age of eighteen, when she moved to Tokyo. Going by the research Rika had done online, some of the places Kajii had suggested had since closed down. She had nonetheless made detailed plans to eat whatever local delicacies she could from the list: the praline cake eaten at festivities and gatherings; the raisin and buttercream swirl pastries; the Le Lectier yōkan; butter from Sado island; the Kenshin junmai ginjō sake that had been Kajii's father's favorite; the buttery waffles at the chain of restaurants owned by Kajii's local yoghurt factory; the place in the old town serving a rice bowl topped with a large cutlet; the set meal served on a tray in the restaurant that specialized in rice cooked in a traditional stove...

You don’t have to forgive Kenshin. But try to feel his pain, too. Suffering is never fair to anyone.

Yamagata Aritomo: "You must realize that one man with one sword can not hope to make any difference in the new world." Himura Kenshin: "Even if its only the hand full of people I happen to meet on the street or in my home, I can still protect them with one sword.

general experience of brave men. Kenshin, who fought for fourteen years with Shingen, when he heard of the latter’s death, wept aloud at the loss of “the best of enemies.” It was this same Kenshin who had set a noble example for all time in his treatment of Shingen, whose provinces lay in a mountainous region quite away from the sea, and who had consequently depended upon the Hōjō provinces of the Tōkaidō for salt. The Hōjō prince wishing to weaken him, although not openly at war with him, had cut off from Shingen all traffic in this important article. Kenshin, hearing of his enemy’s dilemma and able to obtain his salt from the coast of his own dominions, wrote Shingen that in his opinion the Hōjō lord had committed a very mean act, and that although he (Kenshin) was at war with him (Shingen) he had ordered his subjects to furnish him with plenty of salt—adding, “I do not fight with salt, but with the sword,

They are eight years old now and both are doing great. Their names are Shingen and Kenshin and they are the loves of my life.
