“Inside me, there is an organ more important than my heart. Although you can't see it, I feel it going right through my head and down to my legs, and I know that it exists inside me. It's the one that lets me stand up and walk forward. So that I can walk forward, without ever trembling. If I stopped here I feel like it would break...My soul would break. Even more than if my heart stops beating, to me that is the most important. Even if I become senile and my back gets bent, I still have to walk forward.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“One exits... Another enters.
The stage always needs someone in this role... When one actor leaves... Another one jumps in and takes his place.
The world will always have people like us.
Break a leg, Hange.”

“but everyone is burdened by certain something and they plunge headfirst into hell.
In most cases that something is not their own will, usually it is their environment's or other people's expectations, and that leaves them no choice.
however, but the hell those who choose to burden themselves see is different, on the other side of the hell they can see something.
that thing they see might be hope or it could be just another hell.
But you will never know, unless you keep moving forward.”
