“Don't die. Don't die! You don't have to win. You don't have to keep trying! Just don't get hurt anymore, please!”

“I'm so disappointed, Ichigo, so very disappointed. Sadly, your sword exhibits only fear. When you counter, it's because you fear being killed. When you attack, you fear killing. And when you protect someone, you fear you could let them die. At this point, the only thing your sword speaks is sensless fright, and that's not good. What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill." -Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)”

“I don't have a method of stepping into the depths of your heart without getting it dirty." -Kuchiki Rukia”

“Sanity? Sorry, I don't ever remember having something like that before.”

“If I don't wield the sword,I can't protect you.If I keep wielding the sword,I can't embrace you.-Ichigo Kurosaki”

“You might get lucky and die in some corner.~Soi Fon”

“Ichigo: You got that? Huh?! I'm the rescuer, so you just SHUT UP!!Rukia: Wha--wha'd you say? A rescuer isn't supposed to ignore the rescuee!Ichigo: Yeah? And what kind of rescuee complains about the rescue!? Why don't you go sit in a corner and tremble in fear and cry out "Save me! Save me!" like you're supposed to?!Rukia: I do not need saving, and I do NOT tremble!”
