Monkey D. Luffy — memorable quote from One Piece: The Movie

“Someday, I promise you, they will all watch as I change the world.”

“I’d rather fight and regret it than not fight and regret it.”

“In the long flow of time, living things know nothing of their ancestors, except for the genes they’ve inherited. Only mankind has history. Having a history differentiates mankind from all other living species. That’s why I wanted to be a historian.”

“Very well. Then krieg(German for "war") is what you shall have. We are a clenched fist, ready to strike down all who oppose us with our might. But, after enduring over half a century wallowing in the darkness, for us, a simple, "ordinary" war will no longer be sufficient. We need a massive war! A war beyond any other that man's history has ever known! We are but a single battalion, the remnants of a defeated army numbering less than a thousand strong. However, I believe that each of you old warriors is worth a thousand of their sickly soft children! We represent a force that could easily defeat an army of a million and one men!”

“No matter how much talent you have, if you aren't the best, you're nothing because there can only be one king. If you're in his shadow, then history won't see you.”
