The following are from the anime show Trigun that spent a short amount of time on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim, they are the passages Vash says at the end of each episode when hes telling about the next episode. I picked these cause I feel they kinda pertain to my life. "All people have a sanctuary which must never be touched, a scar of sadness which must never be tread upon. The cooperation formed by the living to realize a dream or achieve an ideal. The man with the white coat told me in a quite voice that he had finally found me, that he wanted my life. That man smiled a smile deeper than darkness. Legato Bluesummers, a man fascinated by death, only spoke quietly."
"There is something which cannont be expresed in words. People's emotions. Emotions of the heart cannot be defined. But there is one way to read the emotions. Look into their eyes. The girl lied to me. The gentleman lied to me. But the moment I looked into their eyes... fate began to alter, to reveal the truth. Just look into their eyes. There is only one truth."
"Those who made mistakes blame themselves and close their hearts. It's impossible to fix the mistake. Men can't return to the past. That's why they drink. Drunks, lushes, sliding alcohol down their throats to dilute the memories that can't be denied. Frank Marlon the gunsmith does nothing but drink. And he questions drained glass, "Am I wrong?" "Was I wrong?"
"When something is gained, something is always lost. It's impossible to live without facing that fact. What is lost will never return. Important things. Irreplaceable things. The things necessary to protect those things. The firm determination packed into a bullet. Man knows... knows that nothing will begin unles he speaks. That nothing will change unless he moves."
"The longer one holds onto a memory... the longer one lives in the past. The deeper the memory they hold onto is... the more beautiful the past will become. The beautified memories will eventually turn into hate... Even if they look ahead, they lose the ability to walk. As long as the heavy chain called Revenge continues to fetter the heart. As long as the tears of sadness continue to flow."
"People who sin say this: That they had to, to survive. People who sin say this: That it's too late to stop. The shadow called Sin dogs them steadily without a word. Remorse and Agony are repeated, to finally end up at Despair. But sinners don't know... that if they turn around, there is a light... a light which keeps shining on them every so warmly."
"Repeated tragedies, repeated pain... the wishes of a man are so strong and yet so frail and weak. To live, to stay alive. Who would've known that survival was this hard, this painful. I must choose, I must make the choice. In the moment that intertwines life and death, can I choose to remain a human?" |
