"Shut it! Do you know the pain of having …" — Gintoki Sakata Quote

"Do you really intend to lose even more of your friends for something like that? I'll pass on that. As long as I'm alive, I'll live by my own rules. I'll live as I see fit and protect that which I hold dear."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"You STILL don't get it? When you tossed all of that away, a few important things were discarded as well. You abandoned your friends? More like you were afraid of BEING abandoned. You fight by yourself? More like you hid yourself in solitude from the beginning. You abandoned yourself? No... You just couldn't bear the pain of having a heavy load place upon you, or being a heavy load, so you ran. Like the coward you are. If you want to live your life abandoning one thing after another, that's your choice. But to try to incite your student to join you because you can't handle being alone, makes you a fool."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"It's quite easy for humans to become adults, but to always have a child-like heart that makes everything joyful isn't such an easy task."

"*after Shinpachi caught up to him, while running from the police* What a nice boy you are. Have you come to return my wooden sword? That's all right. It was just a souvenir I bought on a school trip."

"Manga endings might always end the same. However, if it comes to life. Neither you or I are mere readers. We are writers. We can change the ending."

"*talking about a nosebleed* And why would a girl your age pick hard enough to get a nosebleed?!"
