"Blah, blah, blah, blah… quit your blabbe…" — Gintoki Sakata Quote

"Even if you can't move anymore, or your back gets bent out of shape, it doesn't matter! What matters is what's inside! Not what someone looks like, dammit!"

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"It's true that your luster may not have been as bright as gold. You only shined on occasion. You were always arguing and fighting. You have wavy hair. You were lazy. You were the king of sexual harassment. You never paid the rent. You paid your people late. Still, you were brighter than the fake glint of gold plating. When you were angry, your entire soul was enraged. When you laughed, you laughed with all your heart. Your silver was much more beautiful."

— Tama · Gintama

"Leave it at that. Even though she was raised by gorillas, she's still a woman."

— 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

"I just... ...want to make the woman I love happy."

— Hijikata Toushirou · Gintama

"The zipper is a window to society."

— Kotarō Katsura · Gintama
