“People become stronger and kinder because of their pain”

“Sometimes you can learn, even from a bad experience. By coping you become stronger. The pain does not go away, but it becomes manageable.”

“Kinder than is necessary. Because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.”

“What is kinder--to believe the best of people and burden them with a nobility beyond their endurance--or to see them as they are, and accept it because it makes them comfortable?”

“...I'd become aware of human complexity--that's a kinder word than "deceit.”

“The pain of dying will surely be nothing, for the pain of love is so much stronger and agonizing.”

“You know Hachi, your life depends only on ourselves. I’m still convinced about this… But I’ve also learned to accept that people… don’t all become as strong, and it made me kinder than before.”
