“I can't protect you without holding a sword. I can't embrace you while holding a sword.”

“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”

“He who does not fear the sword he holds is not worthy of holding a sword.-Hisagi Shuuhei”

“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)”

“Those who do not fear the sword they wield have no right to wield a sword at all.~Shuhei Hisagi”

“When you're dodging, you're "afraid of getting hit." When you're attacking, you're "afraid of hitting me." When you're protecting someone, you're "afraid of them dying."It's pathetic! You can't give into fear in a fight!When you're dodging, think "I won't let you hit me!" When you're protecting someone, think "I won't let you die!" When you're attacking, think "I will cut you!"--Urahara Kisuke”

“I wonder can I carry on with the speed of the world without you in it.”
