"Some lies are necessary for giving child…" — Shimura Tae Quote

"A prison, you say? You think you'll be free if you go to the world above? A girl like you can never be free no matter where you go. After all, we humans are apes put in a cage called Earth. There is no difference between the world above and the world below. The only difference is which is bigger or smaller. People who pout about how confining the cage is can never be happy. They live their lives only seeing the iron bars. A true lack of freedom is when you cage your soul."

"Goodbye, vice captain. Why don't you suck on some mayonnaise in the afterlife? [he shoots, blowing up the whole wall]"

"*while eating Super Spicy Senbei* It's spicy... It's spicy. Damn it, why am I... It's so spicy I have tears in my eyes."

"If you run into a wall and pretend it doesn't exist, you'll never make progress. The wall will never change, so you're the one who has to change."

"I watch over Gin-san to protect him. Just like a fairy, like Tinkerbell!"

"Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama
