"It's often said, "People who are similar can be called friends", right? You haven't been making a good life for yourself, have you? Well, I guess I'm no better.. People don't try to make a life that they can't be proud of... They have the intention of staying on the straight path, but out of blue, they're in the dirt. But, even so, with heart and soul you try to brake through. There will be a day, that even dirt will dry and fall off. (Gintoki to Catherine Gintama chapter 24 page 19"")"

"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.

They live their lives only seeing the iron bars. A true lack of freedom is when you cage your soul."
