Gintoki Sakata — memorable quote from Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare

“People don't simply disappear from this world when they die. They only truly die when they are forgotten by those who are alive. That's why it doesn't matter whether I lived or died. No one knows of my existence, and I don't have I don't have a single friend. But... if you all won't forget about me... that is enough even if I die. With just that... I would be more alive than I ever have been.”

“Making sure I have no regrets... that would just be self-serving, nothing more. It's all right. I mean, this is a great memory in itself, right?”

“If I'm going to disappear no matter what, I at least want to leave them having fun and smiling.”

“Everyone smiles, when they are with you. Please... from now on, go and help people in my place. Share your happiness with them.”

“Even though everything is going to disappear, it isn't supposed to be meaningless. It's exactly because you know you're going to part ways, that now and only now is your only chance.”
