Quotes
- “The ones who aren’t able to acknowledge their own selves are bound to fail.”
- “People, who can’t throw something important away, can never hope to change anything.”
- “Self-sacrifice… A nameless shinobi who protects peace within its shadow… That is a true shinobi.”
- “The ones who aren’t able to remember their past are condemned to repeat it.”
- “It is not wise to judge others based on your own preconceptions and by their appearances.”
- “There is no value in killing the likes of you… Foolish little brother, if you want to kill me… then hate me, detest me, curse me, and survive in an unsightly way. Run, run and cling to your pitiful life.”
- “People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define ‘reality’. But what does it mean to be ‘correct’ or ‘true’? They’re just vague concepts… Their ‘reality’ may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?”
