Moritaka Mashiro — memorable quote from Bakuman.

“It's pretty hard just to survive as a human being. The world's a big place and there's a lot of stuff I don't understand, but I think there must be something important out there. I mean, that's what I want to believe. If I keep believing that while playing music, then maybe I'll be able to change the world just a bit.”

“This blank space represents infinite potential. One day, it may become anything.”

“It's not about wanting to do something that you can do, it's about what you do. It's not about wanting to become someone, it's about who you want to become.”

“There's a limit to the amount of pleasure a person can obtain. But pleasure brought out by intellect is infinite.”

“I had a lot of dreams as a child. I wanted many people to listen to the piano. I wanted to fly. I wanted to communicate with animals. Those dreams have all pretty much come true. Right now, I have a different dream. What mankind can imagine is what mankind can make into a reality. The imagination is a weapon. It is far superior than anything else in the world.”
