Miyamoto Musashi — memorable quote from Vagabond

“The root of all your evil is in always relying on one of your other possibilities to get your wish. You must accept that you are the person here, now, and that you cannot become anyone else other than that person.”

“If someone always follows the perfect path without ever facing hardship... Is it really what's best for that person?”

“I actually don't think something like perfection exists. That is I think why we are born able to absorb things... and by comparing ourselves with something else we can finally head in a good direction.”

“It may seem like we're all playing the same game, but in our minds, it is totally different.”

“I don’t put much trust in words like "personality" or "disposition" or "character." Those things all change depending on the situation. Looking at it in the long run, what changes people is what situations they get into. People put a lot of faith in consistency, but it’s something more superficial than most people think.”
