"No matter what kind of 'strength' you po…" — Rika Noyamano 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."

"There's something you can't see unless you're standing at the top, to experience that for the first time, I'm struggling to a higher place than anyone else, isn't that what freedom is?"

"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."

"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."

"When a person is hard to reach, someone has to extend their hand to that person to get to them, because of that dream, because they dream that freedom really exists, the roses will look up at the sky when they bloom."

"The desire to fly with ''real wings'' is what motivates you."
