"A prison, you say? You think you'll be free if you go to the world above? A girl like you can never be free no matter where you go. After all, we humans are apes put in a cage called Earth. There is no difference between the world above and the world below. The only difference is which is bigger or smaller. People who pout about how confining the cage is can never be happy. They live their lives only seeing the iron bars. A true lack of freedom is when you cage your soul."

"Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you'll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else."
— Obi Hajime · Gintama
"A farewell is like the other side of a coin. It will only happen when there is an encounter. Rather than dreading the day we have to part, shouldn't we be happy that we had the chance to meet today instead?"
— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama
"Anime - it's not something that can be thought of in a hall for conferences. It is made out of strange juices current from the brain of animators."
— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama
"Damn that sister of mine! She's always talking about our father, but what did that baldy ever do for us?! He just played Othello with us from time to time!"
— Shimura Shinpachi · Gintama
"Life is basically like a soap bubble. It rides on the wind, flying here and there... and before you realize it - pop! It's gone. When it's about to disappear, you think that you could've flown a little higher. But by the time, it's already too late."
— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama
"Planets are just places for people to stand on. Planets are just rocks. It takes people to make it a world. You can have as many "Earths" as you want. I only care about what's inside."
— Sakamoto Tatsuma · Gintama
