ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM QUOTES PT. 1
“The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.”
“Broadly speaking, there are two reasons a person feels the desire to teach something: Either he wants to pass on his successes or he wants to pass on his failures.”
“Honestly, there isn’t much meaning to the splendid names given to you by your parents. What does have meaning, is what the person behind that name does during their actual lifetime. The name doesn’t make the person. The name simply remains gently within the footprint left on the path a person walks.”
“Please remember that there are times to take someone’s hand and lead them along… But also times when you must be stern and let them fend for themselves.”
“The sooner they know the frustration of defeat, the greater their growth will be.”
“The world will always be filled with injustice. If you have time to give up or hold a grudge against that injustice, then use that time to enjoy battling those injustices instead.”
“As you go through life, the might current of society is bound to get in your way and there will certainly be times that things don't go as you'd hoped. When this happens, don't look to society for a cause. Do not renounce society. Frankly, you'd be wasting your time. Instead just say, "That's life!" and muddle your way through with frustration. Once you're past it, consider: If society's swift current is tossing you around, how should you be swimming there in its midst. You should have learned how, here in the E class, in this assassination classroom. You don't always have to stand and face it head-on. You can run and you can hide. If it's not against the rules, you can try a sneak attack. You can use unconventional weapons. Stay determined - not impatient nor discouraged - and with repeated trial and error, you're bound to reach a splendid outcome eventually.”
"The past you've lost will never come back. I myself have made so many mistakes... But we can learn from the past so we don't repeat it."
"The tentacles spoke to me, asked what I wanted to be. To be weak I said, to be flawed, vulnerable. To perceive weakness in others not to exploit but to protect. To be a guide, to be a teacher."
"All of the connections we encounter in this world serve as teachers who nurture us."
“Examined from another angle, your faults and weaknesses can be weapons.”
“Somewhere along the way we forgot our fear of heights, so we do still fall to the ground every now and then. So learn here.”
“Some kinds of bloodlust are wrong to hold on to, and how important it is to have friends to pull you away from it.”
“We were looked down on, but we never stopped looking up, even when the height made us feel dizzy, or insignificant, or scared the crap out of us. We learned how to climb by taking it one rung at a time.”
"If you’ve got time to point fingers, then how about using your head to figure out what you want to do about it?"
“I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection.”
“I don't suffer from insanity but I enjoy every minute of it.”
“At the end the king and the queen are put in the same box as the pawns.”
“Tell me not to do something and I will do it twice, and take pictures.”
“It’s about being patient, picking your moment. So snap out of it, you can’t let a couple losses blow you off course.”
“You ain’t gotta resist the anger, you control it.”
“Whatever you kids decide, think it through first. Feelings are difficult to kill, but they’re a lot harder to ressurect.”
“If something is possible, carry on as planned. Even if it isn’t possible, do it anyway.”
