Tomoya Aki — memorable quote from Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

“In order to achieve something there are some things that you have to be unsatisfied with in the first place. Having a complex is the source to greatness.”

“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.”

“Do what you can until you learn what you need. If you're going to try something, you may as well aim for the top.”

“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.”
