Itami Youji — memorable quote from GATE

“Sometimes, you’ll run into a situation which is dangerous, but which you can't run from. Sometimes, you know you’ll lose, but you have to advance anyway. If you can't be a smart man, then you should be the stupidest man of all. What do you think?”

“You asked me if I was ready to carry on. In all honesty, I am not sure of myself. But there is something that must be done now. And I will do it.”

“You're not a strong person, so you can really understand how weak people feel. I mean... Most humans are weak, including me... But if I got an order from someone who saw things like I do, no matter how tough it was, I'd do my damnedest to carry it out.”

“I don't care where I get hurt, as long as my injuries are visible.”

“Everyone has to die someday. But what they believed in will never fade away as long as someone protects it. Once you've resolved to take on those principles, no matter how much blood and tears you shed, you follow through with it! That's what it means to be a knight.”
