Luffy “Where’s the future? Right here. Whose life is this? Mine. What are you gonna do with it? Live it by any means necessary.” -Jefferson Pierce “If you wanna stop this, then stand up! Because I’ve got one thing to say to you! Never forget who you want to become!” -Shoto Todoroki “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” -Marcus Aurelius “Giving help that’s not asked for is what makes a true hero.” -Izuku Midoriya “I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates… and if I die trying… then at least I tried.” -Monkey D.
