The best anime quotes about self-discovery.
“Books are nice, aren't they? With just one sentence you can get lost in all sorts of dreams. They way I think of it, literature allows the reader's consciousness to deeply relish the author and be closer to him. And so, we freely walk around the world of the story from the yarn spinner's point of view. It's only when you immerse yourself in the world of a book that you are able to forget just who you are.”
“I intended to listen to your voice, but it really was nothing but intentions. It's pretty obvious, huh? Of course there's more going on than what people choose to tell you... But I convinced myself that was all there is to a person. I knew that, but still I interpreted the stuff I didn't understand about you in ways convenient for me... That's just how I am.”
“I'd talk, but... I fell into the habit of not saying what I really felt, somewhere along the way. And then I started believing that there wasn't anything... that I really wanted to tell anyone.”
“Every day, the words cross my mind. "If I had done this back then..." but they don't take the sincere form of regret. The words are just an excuse that come to my mind then disappear.”
“Smile. Not for anyone else, but for yourself. Show yourself your own smile. You'll feel better then.”
“You shouldn't judge something without trying it first. Having a variety of experiences is what makes life worth living.”
“Those who forgive themselves, and are able to accept their true nature... They are the strong ones!”
“Instead of judging others based on rumors and gossip articles, I must look and feel for myself. You cannot know anyone without coming face-to-face with them.”
“It's easy to say "choose so that you'll have no regrets," but that's impossible. No matter how hard you've agonized over your path, you'll always regret something about it later. That's just how we humans are made. Which is why I think our true feelings are important. If you choose your path based on your true feelings, it'll hurt just a little less when you feel the same regret, right?”
“I don't think I'll learn anything if I don't try to do something about it on my own.”
“A road is something that you make yourself.”
“I want to reply with a long message, but if it's too long, that might be kind of revolting. But if it's too short, then I might come off as cold instead. Feeling apprehensive of what to do, I decided to reply back with a similar word count instead. This was what they called "mirroring" in psychology. By emulating the actions of the other party, your affection levels would increase!”
“To hell with living a life of revenge, I'm me! I live for myself! You're not my sworn enemy or anything else. You're nothing but a putrid demon!”
“I am not so grand, not as a god. I am Horo, and Horo is all that I am.”
“Just walk the path you believe in. And don't forget, you're the main character of your own life story!”
“I am Horo the Wise Wolf, and I am a very proud wolf.”
“I do not want to wake from my dream and discover that I am all alone. I am tired of being alone! I do not want to be cold! I do not want to be lonely!”
“What is love? Its when your eyes start following someone, and you look for them if they’re not around. You get excited thinking you might run into him when you’re putting your shoes on in the morning. And when you don’t it’s a little disappointing. But then you pass by him and that makes you happy for the rest of the day. It feels like you can handle anything. Seeing him is enough to make you happy.”
“I believe that there's not a single person whose heart is evil.”
