Quotes by Masashi Kishimoto

Theres only one thing that can heal the heart... Only one... Its love, Gaara.

For awhile, I thought that was love.-Gaara

When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.

Theres no advantage to hurrying through life. -Shikamaru Nara

Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and our own feelings of guilt. Knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That’s what makes us humans.

One day you will be the one called Master (Naruto). Youll be the one to treat others to ramen. We cant stay kids forever.- Shikamaru Nara (Naruto)

People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define Reality. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Merely vague concepts… Their Reality may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?

You said you want to became Hokage. I have become the Kazekage. If you are willing to bear the name Kage, you have to do what you must do.

But you... You helped me find my way and take the correct path, Naruto... I always chased after you...wanting to catch up...wanting to walk together with you forever... I want to be at your side, always... You changed me, Naruto! Your smiling face saved me! And thats way Im not afraid to die, defending you! Because... I love you...

Im... Im so in love with you that I cant even stand it! Sasuke! Stay with me, and Ill never let you regret it! Well have fun every day, and... And youll be happy! Ill make sure of it! Ill do anything for you, Sasuke! Just, please... Please, please dont go! Ill even help you take revenge! I mean, Ill manage it somehow, so... So please... Stay with me.

Everyone lives bound by their own knowledge and awareness. They define that as reality; but knowledge and awareness are vage, and perhaps better called illusions.

A smile is the best way to get oneself out of a tight spot, even if it is a fake one. Surprisingly enough, everyone takes it at face value. I read that in a book.If you keep staring at me, Ill hit you.I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I dont know everything thats going on. I dont really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Narutos been shouldering that promise for a long time...I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life. I dont know what you said to him, but its just like whats been done to me - it feels like a curse. Sasuke causes Naruto pain, but I think you do too.Sasuke is only helping spread his darkness across the world. Letting him live will only sow the seeds of another war. Hes just another criminal now. Sasuke lost all hope of coming back when his group, Akatsuki, attacked our village. Your fellow Konoha shinobi would never accept him now. Sakuras not stupid, either. She understands the position hes put us all in. Thats why she came out here, to tell you herself.

Shes strong! And scary...I bet shes single...Id put money on it..

A soul needs a purpose to live and so I concluded that my purpose was to kill everyone besides myself. I felt alive.--Gaara

People cannot win against their loneliness because loneliness is this world’s worst kind of pain.

In this world, whenever there is light, there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exist, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars and hatred is born to protect love.

Sorry Im late, Im afraid I got lost on the path of life-Kakashi Sensei

Then when I saw Pain attack Hinata, I was so mad, so full of rage, I let the Nine-Tails take over without even thinking about it.

The weaker you are the louder you bark.-Tenten

Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness.-Itachi Uchiha
