Rin Okumura — memorable quote from Blue Exorcist

“People can't live without their memories. But hey can't live on their memories alone either. They have to wake up from their dreams. Those dreams will become sadness if they don't. Even if you wake up from your dream, your memories will still be there. So please smile. I want our memories to be happy to the very end. I wish everyone would keep smiling so that everyone could be happy and everybody could be warmer.”

“There are things I don't want to forget... Memories of time spent with friends. Memories of time spent with her alone. Memories are important. But there's something even more important... That's to continue making memories.”

“People's feelings are memories that transcend time.”

“All the people I saw from my cage...All the things I saw from my cage, that was the whole world to me. At first, all I could sense was the hostility of the people looking at me from outside...And their feelings of fear. Piercing gazes, hurled stones, whips, sticks...Everything outside the cage was frightening, a source of pain...But eventually I began to realize something. I began to see their other emotions, not just their hostility and fear of me. They were the emotions of families, lovers, and friends who came to the sideshow...Emotions meant for each other.”

“Leaving my mother's body, for the first time I learned the chill of cold air and the warmth of human hands. Cradled by my father and carried out of that room, for the first time, I learned the extent of the sky and the vast expanse of the world. Stepping off my everyday path, I learned my own laugh which I'd never yet heard. Beyond...Beyond this planet..To learn what I still don't know. One more step beyond... Closer to you.”
