So, do you have any favorite quotes from a particular manga series? Funny quotes, inspiring quotes... it doesn't matter, just post your favorites here! I may use some of these for my sites Manga Quote's page, but I'll be sure to give credit to the person who submitted it. ^^

So, I'll start. One of my favorite quotes that I came across recently is from Naruto, when Shikamaru is complaining to his dad about women, and his dad says something along the lines of:

"There wouldn't be any men without any women. Men are no good without women around. And to the man she loves, even a woman will be gentle and kind.... Now if you excuse me, I have to go do something or your mother will get mad." :lol: Not that I'm sexist or anything but this is funny, especially considering the mangaka is male. My dad says this sort of thing all the time too.

I like the one from my sig, about anger management. Especially as it's coming from the queen of not managing anger (or any other urges) Haruhara Haruko. ^^

"Walking and think at the same time is dangerous." --Tohru Honda (I may tweek this later, 'cause I'm not sure it's the exact wording. But the whole idea is just SOO true.)

*said in prayer* "Lord, why aren't there any good guys?" --Meimi Haneoka. I know this isn't true, it just seems that way sometimes. ;)

There's one really great one by Hatsuhara Sohma that I'll post when I pull out my manga. But I don't have time right now, he he.

From Naruto:

*Sakura, after Naruto has just declared to a room full of people that he will beat them all* "Pay no attention to my friend! He's... you know. A special ed ninja."

*Naruto, to Gaara after their battle* "Being alone...being incomplete...what you must feel...what your pain must be... I understand that. But, for the people that are precious to me, if you are hurting them, I will stop you. Because they rescued me from the torment of being alone. They acknowledged my existence, that's why they are all the most important."

Zabazu:: Can you see the future?
Kakashi:: Yeah, your going to die.

From Fruits Basket:

Kyo: Beating me is my goal! It's my vocation in life!
Yuki: It's so unfair that I have to keep taking abuse just because you can't meet your goals.

Shigure: What's this? I don't think I've ever heard you sound so eager to come over, Haa-san. Could it be you have a secret crush on Tohru-kun??
Hatori: ...
Shigure: Ah! I guessed right, didn't I?! You naughty, naughty man!
Hatori: No, I was just too amazed by your stupidity to say anything.

From xxxHOLIC:
"If your outlook is dark, then everything in the world will come out terrible. But if you are optimistic and try your best, the whole world can seem to change for you. I'm sure it must be a terrible thing, but nothing will change by just standing still. You have to gather your courage and face it."

From .hack//sign (even though it is an anime and pretty much the whole anime is quotes :D)

Ginkan: Haven't you figured it out? For me, a hero isn't something you call up and display, it is in each one of our souls

Subaru: Meetings were created by God. Separation were created by man.

Tsukasa: If you have a home, you can go anywhere. Because you will have someplace to return to

BT: You don't have many friends, do you?
Sora: You don't seem to have that many yourself. We're even.

"You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?"

The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom"
from "The World" (song)

Thanks, guys! These are great! Here's another one of my favorites, though it is a bit childish, it still cracks me up:

Kuwabara (sensing an evil aura): "I can smell it, y'know? Like.. like..."
Yusuke: "Like a silent fart in a crowded elevator?"
Kuwabara: "Close enough, yeah."

XDXD. Ok, that's enough of my pleasantly immature quotes...

My favorite quote from Lament of the Lamb is

"Good God."

It is said by Minase (young man, doctor, illicit drug manufacturer, in love with Chizuna) when he finds out that Chizuna (young female, vampiress, "such a twisted woman" [that's another good one]) is going to be living with Kazuna (young man, brother to preceding, the guy who called her that). It is the only correct response to that news given by a character in the series.

FMA:
*A dog is found by Master Sergent Fury. While looking for a home for it, they ask Ed and Al...*
ED: Master Sergent, the problem is that you're way too nice. You're not supposed to go around picking up animals, if you can't meet the conditions of taking care of them. Right, Al?
FROM INSIDE OF AL'S SUIT: Meow~ *clatter clatter*

From RuroKen#6 :A customer at Akabeko -Wow. That Sano. He's no average guy.- and then Tae says - No and he doesn't pay his bills like one either.- That always cracks me up.
And in the seventh one Megumi says - Special move; Taming Ken-san- It's so funny she has a dog collar and puts it around his neck.

Keiko: You know what? When you're next to each other you two kind of look alike. He's even got your hair.
Yusuke: I'll say the little booger's got my hair. He's got it right between his retarded claws and he ain't letting go... He better not leave me any Spirit surprises.

Miroku: Although I only wanted the Shikon Shards, I guess you came with it. Kagome: So... I'm like your bonus prize?!

miroku:"To face life boldly... is a difficult task."

miroku:"Do not worry, Sango. That lady is certainly beautiful, but my heart belongs to you."

"You were always smiling, real friendly like, but the way you smiled was so empty it hurt to watch you."
- Wolfwood to Vash

My only savior is that she doesn't know how smart she really is!"
- Vash concerning Milly

"Everyone who has become involved with him, has somehow gained an emotion they had once lost."
- Meryl

"We're not God. Not only are our powers limited, we sometimes are driven to become the devil himself."
- Wolfwood

"First you're cryin your eyes out like an abandoned baby, and then you run around jumping off cliffs! What the hell's the matter with you?!"
- Wolfwood about Vash

"However, I do know one guy who whines, cries, and throws tantrums but still mangages to save everyone. He's a crazy man who's not afraid of anything. Even though he's been scarred from head to toe, hell always be there."
- Wolfwood

"In the language of the flower, red geraniums represent 'determination'."

"Women are a marvel."

If you don’t know the reason, then finding out is the first step to confrontation. If you’re just worrying yourself without knowing what it is, then you won’t get anywhere. Things are usually just that simple. (Mikage-Pretear)

I hope she doesn’t hurt herself by being so concerned about other people. (Karou-Pretear)

The human heart is a fragile thing. No matter how much you try to fool yourself, the wound you have in your heart will continue to bleed with sadness. (Saihi-Pretear)

That is, why am I alive? It as if everything around me is somehow detached from myself. I cannot accept what is before me with an open heart, no matter what. Without knowing why I am alive, I have no choice but to live in heart break, day after day. (Mawata-Pretear)

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just go on living alone? Because if you’re alone, you can’t hurt anyone, and you never have to get hurt. (Mawata-Pretear)

Just disappearing is simple, its just giving up. (Himeno-Pretear)

Geez, there has to be a limit for lacking common sense! (Hayate-Pretear)

Even while Takako was fighting the enemy, she was also fighting with herself. That’s what it looked like.. Fighting the enemy that dwells within one’s won soul, which we call “fearâ€

I’ve forgotten how long it was since we last saw each other. To me, a distance that takes eight light years to travel, that’s no different than saying… forever. You and I drift further and further apart. I had… I had to do some things, do some things differently. I made my heart harder, colder, stronger. I stand before a door that will never open. Still, I knock on it for eternity, and you will remain you. Beautiful, young, and I will grow older. I will grow older and alone.

--Voices of a Distant Star

Oh, I just love that one. I almost cried there.

Hey guys! ^^ Here's another from Naruto:

Kankuro: "Heh, you're funny. I like you."
Naruto: "You're boring. I don't like you."

And from Hikaru no Go:

(Akari has just asked Hikaru to go with her to the Junior high festival)
Sai: "Why don't you go, Hikaru?"
Hikaru: "Forget it. If anyone sees me walking around with a girl, I'm dead."
Sai: "I think that girl likes you."
Hikaru: "Shut up, Sai! Do you want to die?!"
Sai: "I already am dead. " ^^

Some good Haruko lines from the FLCL manga:

"It wears the guise of domesticity and civility, but croquet is a wicked, malevolent sport."

"Don't worry, he's just shy. He'll grow up to be an outlandish pervert like his old man."

"Your friends are over there with their porn, bleeding."

Uh, I know this is kind of late, but I had one that I wanted to drop on here. It's not quite grave digging, I guess, since this thread is still on the first page, but I love this quote from Rurouni Kenshin.

"You can tame a dog with food, you can tame a man with money, but there isn't a person alive who could tame the Wolves of Mibu." - Hajime Saitou.
