“Any treasure you attain without anyone ever working for it is no treasure at all.”
“Don't believe in the you that believes in me and don't believe in the me that believes in you. Believe in the you that believes in yourself.”
“Let us talk about the brain. The brain is said to be the place where our consciousness resides. As we speak, each of us possesses our own distinct consciousness. We are all experiencing reality through our own point of view. To each of us, reality unfolds as a unique story as a result of our consciousness. However, looking to the outside from this box called the self, reality is subjective.”
“There's something that cannot be expressed in words: human emotion. Emotions of the heart can't be just tucked away in a closet. There's a way to know the emotions: look into the eyes. The gentleman lied to me when I trusted him, but the moment I looked into his eyes the angel of destiny began to unravel the truth. Just look into their eyes, there is only one truth.”
“I hate it when knowledge is misused by people who have lost sight of reality, due to biased perceptions and prejudices. It is the source of misunderstanding, ignorance and conflict. I want us to understand each other.”
“We are taught never to shed tears. For to shed tears means that the body has been defeated by emotion. And to us, this simple act of crying proves, without question, that the existence of emotion is nothing but a burden.”
“In that case, you have nothing to fear. Mistakes aren’t made by locking your feelings away and holding back… They’re made while wearing your heart on your sleeve.”
“Most people are irresponsible, changing their opinions easily based on unconfirmed information or convenient rumors.”
“In life, it's better to assume that bad things will happen to you rather than good things. You can't look at someone else's success and assume that it will happen to you. There are a lot of people in the world, so it makes sense that one or two of them are going to be fortunate. But there's only one of you. Assuming that good fortune will come to you is no different than pointing a finger at a random person and predicting the same for them. But do you think that prediction would come true?”
“The important thing is to think of something nobody else is thinking of. "Ignorance is a sin" is not about knowledge - it's about wisdom.”
“While it may be that ignorance is a sin, it's impossible to know everything.”
“Stories are better when they have an ending, are they not?”
“The world is indeed full of malice, but there are some pitfalls one can avoid as long as one knows of them- ignorance is a sin, after all.”
“In order to obtain something, there must be something of equal value. It is the Law of Conservation in Alchemy. Back then, we believed that it was the truth of the world. However, the real world isn’t perfect, so there is not just a single law that governs everything that happens within it. It is the same for the Law of Conservation in Alchemy. Even so, I believe that people cannot obtain something without paying a price. The pain we felt was surely enough of a price to pay. And anyone who pays the price known as hard work surely gains something. The Law of Conservation is not the law governing this world. Until the day I meet with him again, that is the promise… Ni-san and I made.”
“Humans lose focus of the big picture when they’re drunken in the midst of their feelings.”
“I am content with just being a flower, blooming and withering away… that’s all I ever needed.”
“When a human is victorious is when they're most vulnerable.”
“If you cut a thread, and then tie it, the thickness will be different where you originally cut it, right? In that sense, it means irreversible change.”
“People who are confident in themselves never talk about expectations. "Expectation" is a word rooted in giving up. It leaves you with no other choice. It makes it obvious that you're powerless.”
“The best way to tame a mystery is with another mystery.”
