Akito Takagi — memorable quote from Bakuman.

“I think manga and life are the same thing. A weekly manga lasts for a week, and life lasts until you die. It's making the best of whatever time you're given. So, you can't hold back. "Conceit" and "Luck" are important, but the most important one is "Hard Work".”

“If I can be the best in the world at something, then I think it's worth a shot.”

“No one would intentionally set an easily accessible place as their goal. It's a challenge, because it's difficult. It is a dream because it can't be achieved easily.”

“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.”

“A man has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him.”
