“Normally, those people would never wake up from their fantasy worlds. They live meaningless lives. They waste their precious days over nothing. No matter how old they get, they'll continue to say, "My real life hasn't started yet. The real me is still asleep, so that's why my life is such garbage." They continue to tell themselves that. And they age. Then die. And on their deathbeds, they will finally realize: the life they lived was the real thing. People don't live provisional lives, nor do they die provisional deaths. That's a simple fact! The problem... is whether they realize that simple fact.”

“The world is constantly changing. And you can't expect it to stay the same, even for a second. If that's true, there's no need for you to go on a journey, Kino. Even if you stay in one place, you'll be able to keep experiencing the world.”
“Look at this world, so many people deserve to be killed. At the same time, a murderer must be ready to be killed as he lives. That's what retribution is. So, in this world, evil or whatever, a person strongly determined to live is the one who survives in the end.”

And as long as we have the will, humans will always move on forward. For we can accelerate.”
