The best anime quotes about self-discovery.
“But that's why I can't let myself be weighed down by fuckin' regrets. A bitch lives as free as a bird that can never be caught.”
“I've only lived 18 years, but I don't want to change any of them. They're all part of my life, even the failures.”
“What we call the human heart... It's such a mystery, isn't it?”
“If you're just living for your own sake, it's all up to you. No hard feelings. No regrets.”
“Reality is such a pain. And for those of us who get fed up with that kind of reality, we simply choose to make a new one. We create little walls, and separate the trash from the stuff we like, and when that's all done we keep the things we care about and kick the rest to the curb. You'd be amazed how well it works! A whole world made out of just moe, tsundere, and BL, it's the best discovery ever! If you ask me, that really is the best way to separate reality, from fiction.”
“You are calm and composed. You are able to see through things clearly at this age. You are outstanding. And... Always being able to make the correct judgments, not falling into darkness. Outstanding. "That won't do", "This is wrong". You reject any number of paths... Choosing your path with cynicism. What do you want to do? How are you going to do it? What is your motive? Where do you want to move forward to? Say it. Hmm? Fine. Then stick to the ground forever to move forward, you creep. You little coward who can only move forward by using the method of elimination. Until you found something to reject... You shall just lie on the ground helplessly.”
“I have no parents, and I'm not a product of love. Therefore, I can't understand what a 'good wife' is. Even so... the love he gave me is my entire world. No one can humiliate that.”
“Why are people born? If people are born only to suffer the hard life, is it meant as some kind of punishment? Or a cynical joke? If that's the case, animals that adhere to the survival strategies programmed in their DNA are far more elegant and simple. If there really is an existence worthy of being called a God, I want to ask him just one thing: Is there really fate in the universe? If a man ignored fate, and ignored his instincts and DNA to love someone else... Dear God, is he really human? Just wondering. I hate the word "fate".”
“Incomprehensibility is a part of human life. But what does this mean? I just can't understand it.”
“In my mind this jacked-up sideways ridiculousness is the normal state?”
“There's no need to change the past. Because of the past we are who we are now. Every second, every action from then is linked to us here and now.”
“That's why people hesitate. In front of all the choices, one could lose hope and try to run away, because no excuse could be used. No matter how dangerous the long journey in life was, or how one admits to being dealt the short end of the stick, everything was the result of one's own choices, it was a road chosen by oneself. Even if this path is hard, and there's no chance of changing past choices, one cannot place the blame on other people. No matter how angry or frustrated one was, one would be alone on that path, for no one to replace you.”
“I never rely on luck. It's all my own choice. It leads me to the future.”
“If you make fiction just as valuable as reality, then any reality you don't need can be a delusion.”
“I've always been asking myself this question. Am I a memory? or is the memory... ME? Are we nothing but a collection of memories?”
