Reki — memorable quote from Haibane Renmei

“Death is like being born, but backwards. It only hurts for a little while, then a new life begins. A life with no sorrow, no pain, a glorious new beginning. A beginning that will last an eternity.”

“Death is not the end of life, it's the completion of life.”

“That's right... This world... is cruel. It hit me that living was like a miracle.”

“Don't forget, our existence is a fragile and uncertain one, knowing that any one of us could die at any moment. In this short time that we have, we all have one or two wishes that we'd like to fulfill. Losing the most important wish... is like losing your reason for living.”

“A great enough sorrow can stop time, but someday, time will start moving again. No matter how many years may pass.”
