The Best Anime Quotes to Impress Your Friends! (List25)

Posted by , Updated on March 25, 2024

List25 presents ‘The Best Anime Quotes’ with a quote: “Sometimes I wish my first word was ‘quote,’ so that on my death bed, my last words could be ‘end quote.'” –  Steven Wright.

Quotes are amazing (unless you quote yourself, then it’s just…no). They can evoke so many emotions; as Zig Ziglar said, “The right quote can inspire people to change their ways.” I think one of the coolest things about them is that they can come from anywhere, books, speeches, television shows, movies, and even anime. I know a lot of people look down on anime as being childish or just as cartoons (that’s a topic for another day), but that doesn’t mean they can’t produce some amazing quotes. So come with me as we look at some of The Best Anime Quotes, and take note, you make want to use them on your Facebook, Twitter, or Yearbook.

Itachi Uchiha (Naruto)

The Best Anime Quotes to Impress Your Friends! (List25)

“People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define ‘reality’. But what does it mean to be ‘correct’ or ‘true’? Merely vague concepts… Their ‘reality’ may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?”

L (Death Note)

The Best Anime Quotes to Impress Your Friends! (List25)

”There are…many types of monsters in this world: Monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble; monsters who abduct children; monsters who devour dreams; monsters who suck blood, and…monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger. They study even though they have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it. Because in truth, I am that monster.”
