Hiruma Youichi — memorable quote from Eyeshield 21

“Listen, girls like guys who are strong and can protect them. So if you keep working hard and get stronger, she just might like you back.”

“Not taking the initiative to secure your future but just waiting for luck to come your way, wasn't that just the definition of being lazy?”

“Some people think the act of investing efforts, trying your best is more precious than the result. But for mentors as well as their pupils, that approach feels bitter. 'I did my best', 'the fight was close'... words like that blow past and die out like a wind. Only the result is a stone. The stone you can reach by doing your best.”

“The slight difference between those who always aim for the top and those who don't... It'll come to matter in a big way once you all emerge into society.”

“This is our show. We're the ones who are writing the script.”
