The best anime quotes about self-discovery.
“Girls who push their kindness onto others. I hate them to death. "I have a really beautiful heart, so please fall in love with me!" I'm only surrounded by these types of girls and they piss me off. But it's not that simple. In the end, they are just making a fool of themselves. But you... You're different from the other girls. You don't have ulterior motives or anything to gain. You've always been easygoing. That's why to you, I thought It'd be okay to at least say thank you.”
“I should just do what I'm able to do. No matter how small it is, there's no need to feel ashamed.”
“Sometimes the things that matter the most are right in front of you.”
“A "Wish" It isn't a shimmering glass ball that will shatter if grasped firmly. It's a darkly lustrous ball of mud which only firms up when one squeezes it. It's form may be uneven, but its the form of one's own fingers. Not to make it a beautiful gem someday. But to make it the world's most beautiful ball of mud.”
“You don't dress stylishly or put on makeup to impress guys. You do it to keep other girls in their place.”
“My name is Duck. Yes, like the bird. Take it up with my parents. They never loved me!”

“Can anyone hear me? I'm the first man in space. If you look up, well, maybe you'll see it. Or at least please listen. We've left the oceans and climbed above the mountains. I'm flying. We've found the untouched realm of God. You have to look now, it's your only chance. Nothing is here yet, not even air or water to ruin. Soon the next man will follow to touch it, and another, and in all the rush, we may again destroy it. Maybe our killing comes from the madness of being confined. Please listen, there's no more reason to kill because we don't have any more borders now! Can anyone hear me? If you can hear me, then pray. The humblest of all things, the most noble – pray for each step you take. Make a path that is safe so that those who follow you will never stumble. Dear God, please give us your mercy - mercy for we are lost. Forgive the irresponsible, the trivial men who beg you from the dark for the forgiveness of your light.”
