Zabuza, moments after Haku has self-sacrificed himself.
"What Haku did...was not just for me. While we fought, he broke his heart...over you...and your friends. That's the truth.
He was too kind...too gentle.
...I'm glad my last battle...was against you...boy. You're right you know.
Say what we will, do what we will. In the end, we shinobi are still just people after all...with all-too-human feelings.
And I've lost...everything."
Silva and Chieftain
"What...? The Great Spirit can't foresee the future?!"
"Think about it. The future is a chain of consequences arising from the people's actions and the forces of nature. No one can foresee what has not happened, not even the Great Spirit. Not the results of the fight, or who is evil or just, or what will be true or false.
Therefore everything...everything is carved into the future through outcomes."
"...outcomes?"
"Exactly. That is why the shaman fight is held. To reveal the truth--the outcomes that decide the world's fate."

"I don't trust guys who are out to save the world. And I can't stand gung-ho fanatics. Guys like that are all about glory and they're usually all talk. They say they can do anything, but when push comes to shove they crumble. Do you know why? Because they're out for themselves. Thats why they have no stomach for real sacrifice.
But Yoh's different. His only goal is to enjoy life and be happy. That's why nothing bothers him--he's not a slave to ambition. He'd never choose glory over freedom. That attitude lets him think outside of the box and makes him capable of great things.
Desire and greed create drive.
What would those other would-be shaman kings do if they ever achieved their coveted title?
Yoh will never be corrupted by by his hunger for power...or change when he gets what he wants.
That's why I love him.
That's why I believe HE will be the Shaman King."

"I clenched my teeth, feeling the pressure of the sea. Underwater. A simple desire, to breathe. One does it a thousand times an hour, never thinking. There is life, not death, in breathing. -- But it is death underwater."
Carl Jung
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
Marcus Aurelius
"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."
Albert Einstein
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute -- and its longer than any hour. Thats relativity."
Rilke, "Duino Elegies 1"
"For beauty is nothing but the beginnings of terror, which we still are just able to endure,
and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying."
Unknown
"The United States did not become the greatest power on Earth because we take the best care of our people. We're the greatest because we're the best at producing people who know how to take care of themselves."
