“The world isn't something that is all planned out. It's something you make yourself.”
“Learning and copying are the same. Everyone starts out copying someone else. Every last person.”

“Physical wounds will definitely bleed and may look painful but over time they heal by themselves and if you apply medicine, they will heal faster. What's troublesome are wounds of the heart. Nothing is harder to heal. They're a bit different from physical injuries. You can't apply medicine for one thing and sometimes, they never heal. There's only one cure for a wound of the heart. It's a bit bothersome and you can only receive it from someone else. What is it? Love.”
“So you feel negative about the idea of running away. You may feel guilt over having run away, but what about what happened here? The people you've met? How's it all been?

“People who’ve had lots of failures talk about those failures as if to imply that if they have another life, they’ll be a big success. After facing all that hardship, they think they won’t mess up again. But they’re all - me included, of course - making a fundamental mistake. Failures know a lot about failure, sure. But knowing failure is completely different from knowing success. Fixing your mistakes doesn’t mean success takes their place - you’ve just got a point to start at, is all. That’s something failures don’t understand.”
“That's ridiculous. People usually have a stereotypical idea, or an assumption like that and that's what creates a blind spot”
