You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them.
Kurosaki Ichigo (Bleach)

When I think of life, I think of a small journey. A journey that only lasts for a short time compared to the universe we were born in. Why do we try to survive when we know our existance will soon after fade. Why do we live? Is there a reason we're born into this world? But as my mind wanders, I realize that it doesn't matter why we're here. We're here to live life to the fullest. We're here to explore. To make friends. Or maybe enemies...But the point is we're here. And as long as im here, I want to live my life to the fullest..with the people I love. Such a short lifespan is given to us...and for what purpose. We learn so many things...But for what?.
Kuchiki Rukia (Bleach)

◦Remember this well. There are two types of fights. As we have put our lives in battle, we must be able to distinguish between the two.
The fight to protect life, and the fight to protect pride.
Ukitake Jushiro (Bleach)
