Nara Shikamaru — memorable quote from Naruto

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

“Sorry, a trick is nothing but a puzzle mankind came up with. If you use your head, you can uncover the logical answer. It’s disappointing. No matter the explanation I think of, I cannot understand why one person would kill another. Even if I can see why, I can’t understand why.”

“The strength of life lies in the possibility of dying.”

“No one fears death. They fear the life that leads up to death. If one could die without suffering, no one would fear death, right? Being alive is, itself, an exception. The natural state of things is death. And life is, itself, a kind of sickness. When the illness is cured, your life vanishes.”

“It's odd, isn't it? People die everyday and the world goes on like nothing happened.”
