Chiaki Shinichi — memorable quote from Nodame Cantabile

“If at some point in life, you made a mistake or keep failing over and over again, and you can't help but think it's useless and you're a good for nothing; Remember, you're only taking a detour. And I'm sure further along your path will come a day where you think, "It was a good life experience". That's why it'll be fine.”

“You can become happy right now." I won't say these types of absurd lies. However, if you get through these current hardships and survive - a time where you can be happy will come.”

“*to Jyugo* You're such a gloomy Gus, aren't you? You're so gloomy, indecisive, and so pessimistic. You're also dull, have bad handwriting, can't learn, insensitive, weak, a slow runner, a poor talker, and a poor liar. You really can't do anything other than break out of jail. Also you have short legs. But... that means you have lots of character traits, right? That's all you need to know for now, don't you think? If you don't know something, we'll teach you. We're gonna make your life more fun. It doesn't matter whether we're in jail or hell. If we live happily, we win. So let's take it slow and make sure you'll enjoy tomorrow.”

“Living has it own challenges. I'll give you just one piece of advice. Don't quit. Yes, when you die, you die. But if you give up, you're definitely going to die. That, I am sure of.”

“That kid's good point is that he feels he doesn't have much skill. It's this kind of person that will keep on improving.”
