Nanashi — memorable quote from Sword of the Stranger

“Learning and copying are the same. Everyone starts out copying someone else. Every last person.”

“It's true that you're lacking in ability. That's because you don't work at it. However, you have a natural potential. That's why I chose you.”

“Each one of them has something to improve. Victory doesn't come from technique or power alone. In the end, what's needed is a heart that won't give up. The only question is -- Do they have what it takes to push beyond their limits?”

“Old techniques created by others will never be your own. Only what you create and experience for yourself can become your own.”

“We fall into a routine and make careless mistakes because of that. Maybe it'd be good for us to have some excitement or be under pressure once in a while.”
