"In this world, the weak are the sustenan…" — Makoto Shishio Quote

"You can train a dog with food. You can buy a person with money. But there isn't a man alive able to influence the wolves of Mibu! Some things will never change. A wolf will always be a wolf."

— Hajime Saitou · Rurouni Kenshin

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

"Just because you die... doesn't mean that the people you killed will come back to life... instead using this sword to save just one more soul is repentance in true sense."

"When I was at the brink of life and death, I used all of my will to survive. I drew upon a different power than that of self-sacrifice and mastered an ultimate technique. The will to live is stronger than anything else. That was the ray of light that my master risked his life to show me. As Hitokiri Battousai, I have committed so many crimes that I cannot possibly repent for them. That is why I had secretly believed that it didn't matter when I died or was killed. However, now... even if I am formally punished or restrained. I will never lose the will to live."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."

"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."
