Notes

Everyone can make a choice after they have learned what it will result in. It is so easy to say we should have done it this way afterwards. But you can't know what your choice will result in before actually choosing.-Armin Arlelt

People who can't throw something important away, can never hope to change anything.-Armin Arlelt

This world is merciless, and it's also very beautiful.-Mikasa Akerman

"You can't run away" is an ideal for the strong. You're not always wrong. Society, the world, the people around you - often someone else is in the wrong. To think that you can change is adapting to this cruel, indifferent, trashy world. It's admitting defeat and servility. You're simply deceiving yourself by dressing it up with pretty words.-Hachiman Hikigaya (Yahari Ore No Seishun Love Come Wa Machigatteiru)

Moving on doesn't mean you forget about things. It just means you have to accept what's happened and continue living.-Erza Scarlet(Fairy Tale)

"The important thing is to take part." Famous words spoken by Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin during a speech. However, this quote tends to be frequently misused and serves as kind of a threat to force participation. There are tons of wild-goose chases in this world, y'know. If the most important thing is to take part, then surely one could find meaning in not taking part as well. And if everything's worth experiencing, then there's little doubt that the feeling of not experiencing something is, in itself, worth experiencing. In fact, you could even call it a valuable experience to not experience something everyone else does.
