“We’re all afraid, you know.. to get up on stage. Maybe you’ll mess up. Maybe they’ll totally reject you. Even so, you grit your teeth and get up on stage anyway. Something compels us… moves us to play music.”
“Dying means to be gone. And what goes, is not your pain, but your existence itself. But in your mind, you think that you’d have a sense of “nothing” after you die. How can you call that “nothing”? In other words, you don't even have an idea of what death is really like.”
“Have you heard this story before? When a certain traveler left on a journey in search of what he desired, he was told by his teacher: "You mustn't lose your way, because if you make one wrong turn - you will never find what you were searching for". But, unfortunately, the traveler lost his way and hung his head in dismay... But when he raised his head again, what he saw before him was a world even more magnificent than what the traveler was searching for. It means if you don't make mistakes, there are things you won't discover.”
“In the world of sports, quickness doesn't necessarily mean having the fastest time. It could also mean the acceleration from zero to maximum speed or the deceleration from maximum speed to zero. This is known as agility.”
“Keep in mind that there are those who get hurt and those who try to heal the hurt ones. For those guys, it's not funny to have something they value so much be brushed off so lightly. How can a man protect another if he can't even protect himself?”

“Math is like a puzzle or a game. There's a clear answer, and you're going on a journey to find it. But there are many ways to reach that answer. That's why it's so fulfilling when you find the solution. There are ways to find an answer promptly, or more freely. Even roundabout methods can bring you to a definite solution. The method may not be pretty, but when the answer you worked hard to discover is right, it makes you happy.”
“People can say there is a balance, a logic that everything happens for a reason... But the truth is far less designed. No matter how hard you work, when you die, you die. Some spend their entire life trying to scratch their way to the top, and still die in poverty. While others are born into wealth without ever working at all. It's a cruel and random world. And yet the chaos is all so beautiful.”
“There's no shortcut to victory. You have to climb that steep mountain one step at a time. There's an abyss down below and it never ends. Your only choice is to keep climbing!”
“If there is such a thing like happiness in this world, it should resemble the endless nothingness. Nihility is having nothing and having nothing to lose. If that isn't happiness... then what is?”
“What is evil? Is it the bad side of society? Breaking the Law? Indeed, those are evil, but the true essence of "evil" is different. Both justice and evil require you to carry out your own ego, in this there is no difference. It's simply a question about the majority against minority. In today's world, the majority follows the rules. That can't be helped. So does that mean we, the minority, are wrong? No. Even if it means the entire world is our enemy, we persist. That is "evil".”
“We don't have time to waste asking for the things we don’t have, we can only look for the best way to fight with the things we do have.”
“It's just like changes in the notes and passports. You may find it hard to adjust to at the beginning, but you get used to it eventually. Time is very depressing after all... Both happiness and sadness fade away with time.”
“I should just do what I'm able to do. No matter how small it is, there's no need to feel ashamed.”
“A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.”
“There is a word "world". Until about the time I was in middle school, I vaguely thought the word meant the area where the signals from my cell would reach.”
“You can take a picture of something and it never does it justice... I think about that sometimes when I see a picture of you.”
“The past is gone, you can not change it! But the future is based on the decision you make!”
“My name is Duck. Yes, like the bird. Take it up with my parents. They never loved me!”
