"If a sword can protect the weak .. where were you to protect ME?" -- Seta Sōjirō

"This one tries very hard to remember, but .. he cannot recall the "back then" that you refer to. If it's not too late .. can there be another chance?" -- Kenshin

"To fix a building that was built wrong, first you have to tear it all down.." -- Sōjirō, in defeat.

"The truth must be found not through battles, but over a lifetime .. as one makes amends for the crimes one has committed." -- Himura Kenshin

You need the will to LIVE.

Even if you protect the weak and the ones you love by sacrificing yourself with the compassion of the Buddha himself .. sorrow will remain in those people. They will never be truly happy.

Even if you quell danger with your fierce anger, sacrificing your life .. it is only for one short moment in time. And time goes on.
