The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It's one of the never-ending cycles in life.

I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate… I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future… never really thought about it. As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies.

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

Joy, happiness, are hopes and our dreams.... A place of peace and harmony... that's the kind of land I invision.

All things that have form eventually decay." -Orochimaru

I like the way Quentin Tarantino creates a scene using a series of close-ups or showing very cool images of a person or people walking on some ordinary street in slow motion. I wish I could achieve that kind of slow-motion effect in manga, but it's rather difficult to draw; the only things we can play with are tones of black and white.

Someone with inborn talent isn't happy. It's those who have worked hard for someone precious to them and who can be hot-blooded that are happy." -Gai Sensei: Naruto Episode 196
