"Whatever you lose, you'll find it again,…" — Kenshin Himura Quote

"New eras don't come about because of swords, they're created by the people who wield them."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Murder is the only art a swordsman may practice. No ornamental words can change that. You want to protect people with murder? You'll slaughter legions so that a few may live. Many years, long before you were born, my sword was tearing asunder the lives of men. Yes, all of those men were evil, but they were human beings first and foremost, Kenshin. The world you ardently desire to enter will not know what to do with you. It will deceive you into believing that you are saving lives even as you destroy them. You will accept these lies all the while, your hands will be stained with the worst of offenses."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"We once fought together for an ideal with our swords. It wasn't for power or for glory, but to create a peaceful world where people could live without fear. And if you should forget about that, then what did we fight the revolution for?"

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"What is truly good about a person can't be expressed in words, that it can not. What matters is the feeling of trust one gets after spending time with him."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"No matter how much you hurt inside, the dead can never return."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"We shouldn't blame ourselves for bad things that happened to us. Sometimes, no matter what we do, we are victims of the circumstances. We should just have to pull ourselves out."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
