"If training hard can make you number one…" — Kazuma Mikura Quote

"A frog in a well does not hope to swim in the ocean, or go to dive in deep sea. What they're looking at since they are born, isn't the ocean, but the sky."

"A long time there... There was a balloon man, right? When I first heard that story, I was so stupid that I actually enjoyed it... But really, the story was horrible. Driven solely by his dreams he used his balloons to disapear into the sky. The people watching made a big fuss about it... But no one really tried to stop it. There's no telling where the wind will take you. And he knew that one day his fuel, his ''freedom'' would run out, and he'd fall into the black ocean. To fly... that feeling is the most important thing. But instead of the dark clouds that drive people from the sky... There must be a chain to keep them grounded. The time will come, for those with the ability to fly away, while everyone else can only watch. Using their own wings, their own power... soaring as far as they can without aid. Because... Because that is what it means to fly."

"Nothing can remain the same forever, because if you don't change you can't improve... Facing this inescapable ''reality'' if you don't grow... You'll be crushed... For everyone to ascend and accomplish their dreams. They must grow."

"So I'll search for my real ''wings'', because if I stay in the comfort of my nest, I'll never be able to use my own strength to fly."

"No matter what kind of 'strength' you possess. There are places you can never reach no matter how hard you try. The farther it is... The higher it is..."

"From the past... I always wanted to ask. God, why... Are you so unfair and extremely cruel? Why do you separate those who can fly... And those who cannot and bring them into existence? Why, in this one world... You made the effort to divide them into two and bring them together? In reality everyone was born with wings!.. Why didn't I realize that until now? It's not that those who can fly are able to fly, but that those who think of flying... Those who believe they can fly are the ones who can fly."
