At night the moon shines with daylight. Our dreams are an ocean… each wave is the dream of an individual. The tide is controlled by the pull of the moon… it illuminates our dreams. If you open the moon, you will discover the path to dreams. When one finds death, they are submerged in the ocean of dreams. At the end of life’s path is a door that leads us to this ocean. Our dreams transcend the self to reach this sea… connecting us all within its lunar tide.
The only form is action… striking without thought is the only way to kill the enemy. The point of dueling is to kill your enemy… not twisting and turning demonstrating flowery form. The only position is no position. Where you hold your sword depends on your relationship with your opponent on the terrain and the situation. Act as the sea when the enemy is like the mountain… act as the mountain when the enemy is like the sea. Real attacks are not static or with cooperative opponents. Even a glancing blow can unbalance your opponent and cripple their next offensive.
Jet Black: When you and I first met, you told me something. You said that you had died once, that you had seen death. Why can’t you just let it go? Forget the past.
Spike Spiegel: There was a woman, first time I’d found someone who was truly alive. At least, that’s what I thought. She was… the part of me I’d lost somewhere along the way, the part that was missing, that I’d been longing for.
[quote]NOTE: I happen to have a lot of quotes written down that I would like to post, however I do not have the original author/title recorded. If anyone out there recognizes which anime titles these have come from… please help a brother out! Either post here or send me a PM if you happen to have an idea. For now, I’m just going to label the author ‘Unknown’ on my following quotes.
Thank you. :)[/quote]
In order for you to have great happiness, it requires great effort in exchange. That is one example of the balance of life. In order for you to be happy, you must be ready to accept unhappiness. That is why we instinctively fear misfortune when things are going our way.
Regardless of the cause, what you feel and perceive from the world create your personal setting. Your feelings and perceptions make your reality. Your life is a creation of your mind. What the vast majority of people call reality is really just a point of view they choose.
Desires, habits, addictions… we all have them rather we admit to them or not. We are all guilty in immersing ourselves in something so completely that we cannot stop. We lose track of time and don’t even notice. We can’t see the invisible hand wrapping around us until we are already ensnared. And by that time, it is often too late.
A misty moonlight night washes over the land, and though darkness ebbs with the glow of the full moon, shadows still remain. They conceal an evil which exists just beyond our grasp. Sides are chosen; lines are drawn, ones that we dare not cross. But in the distance a ray of light shines to expose our path. It is then that we realize that some things in life are better left unseen.
“She’s making him swallow her demands while ignoring the problem at hand. That’s what you’d expect from a gigolo.”
Sohei – My Little Monster (ep 12)
“So I have to spell it out for her the way Haru does? I love you so I’ll pay for that. Let’s walk around together. I can’t do that!”
Yamaken - My Little Monster (ep 12)
“I hate boys! And I really hate boys who try to hit on me!”
Asako - My Little Monster (ep 12)
“…but love is good. It changes people, for better or worse. You could look at it as a chance for you to change. The best kind of love helps you grow up.”
“Why does it seem like he’s always having fun, yet, at times, he can feel so distant? I can’t catch up to him yet. I don’t have the ability to handle his innocence or sincerity.”
Shizuku – My Little Monster (ep 13)
“Will the day ever come when I can look at the boy beside me with honest and sincere affection?”
