The country? The skies? You can have them! I'm busy enough protecting what's in front of me. I don't know how many times I failed to protect what I wanted. I have nothing left, so at least if something has fallen at my feet I'll pick it up

I'm the same way. A long time ago I did something a lot like that. There were two things I wanted to protect. I didn't want to lose either of them. But it ended up where if I didn't throw one of them, I would end up losing both. I tried to protect both, but that was the same throwing both away... Even now, I dream about it... Wondering if there was some better way.

I don't mind you spreading whatever rumors you want about me. If I'm being an eyesore, then I'll be on my way somewhere else... However, if you point your swords at my students, then I wouldn't mind overthrowing something like a government.

If they each carry their own bushido in their hearts, they can each become their own samurai.

You will no longer swing your sword to defeat your enemies nor will you use it to protect your body. From now on you will swing your sword to protect your very soul.

Our comrades, everyone, please take care of them for me, okay? Let's make it a promise.

Please go, I beg you. I wish to stay as your equal. When I'm with you, my resolve weakens. -Tsukuyo to Gintoki(Gintama)

Weep and ask for help.Lean on me with your runny nose.Cry when you feel like crying.Laugh when you feel like laughing.When you’re tearing up with an ugly face, I’ll give you a good cry with an uglier face.When you’re laughing so hard your stomach hurts,I’ll laugh in a louder voice.That’s how it should be.It’s far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.” — Sakata Gintoki

If you've got time to fantasize about a beautiful death, why not live beautifully until the end?

And just what would I gain if I go back to that place? I'll stop at a tree when I like it and I'll fly when I like it.How I live and where I live is up to me, got it? -Kagura
