Quotes you'll want to say out loud! A collection of cool lines from anime and words that strike the heart

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Moving Anime Quotes: Lines That Resonate With the Heart (11–20)

It’s your fault because you keep repeating the same thing no matter how many times you’re scolded.NEW!Doraemon

If you don’t want to be scolded, you need to understand why you were scolded.

If you just think it’s annoying or unpleasant, you’ll likely repeat the same thing.

After all, if you don’t understand what was wrong, you can’t reflect on it.

People can grow, but to do so, it’s crucial not to repeat the same mistakes.

Don’t let the words of someone important to you—or words meant for your own good—go in one ear and out the other; listen carefully and take them to heart.

If you don’t, you’ll eventually be written off.

Give it your all without overthinking it! Sometimes an unexpected path will open up.NEW!Doraemon

This line conveys the idea that action comes before overthinking, and that the path forward opens up once you move.

It expresses that when you get caught up in unnecessary thoughts, you can’t give your all; if you first act with full effort without overthinking, the chances of a good path opening up increase.

It also suggests that by taking action—giving it your all—you may find a path you never would have thought of while you were stuck worrying.

It’s a phrase that radiates drive, saying that needless thoughts only get in the way of doing your best.

An overly grand resolution will surely fizzle out in three days.NEW!Doraemon

It’s a starkly realistic message that suggests if your resolve is too grand, you’re more likely to give up quickly.

It also conveys the idea that it’s better to start with small goals and build on them; that approach is more likely to work.

Even when setting big goals, it makes you realize how important it is to set smaller milestones along the way and achieve them little by little.

Within words that seem to cut to the bone, there’s a proposal for improving how we think—a gentleness that offers guidance.

If the whole of Japan sank to your level, it would be the end of the world.NEW!Doraemon

These are Doraemon’s scathing words to Nobita, who tried to use a gadget to bring the intelligence of all Japanese people down to his own level.

The phrasing conveys how low Nobita’s level is, and the way Doraemon says it—directly, though troubled—adds a comedic touch.

It not only rejects the idea of lowering abilities to the least capable, but also conveys the message that it’s precisely because everyone’s abilities differ that mutual support sustains the world as it is.

It teaches us not to judge things solely by differences in ability, but to recognize those differences as important.

Moving Quotes from Anime / Lines that Resonate with the Heart (21–30)

The future keeps changing a lot with just the slightest trigger.NEW!Doraemon

These words speak to how the future can change, which also ties into why Doraemon came to the present.

They express the idea that the future branches into countless possibilities through the small choices of everyday life—that little triggers can keep reshaping what lies ahead.

Seeing the future as a collection of all possible choices also makes the potential for a better future feel more tangible.

Because even small things can change the future, the words also come across as a message that we should always make choices we won’t regret.

Money is something you earn by working for it yourself.NEW!Dorami-chan

With only a single 100-yen coin of pocket money left, Nobita asks Dorami if she has any tools for a treasure hunt.

Dorami refuses and tells him this: Even if you use an all-purpose gadget to find treasure and increase your money, you won’t understand the true weight of money.

You only grasp that by working hard and earning it.

Her words may have sounded harsh to Nobita, who is always being helped by Doraemon.

But if you misuse money, it can ruin you, so it’s important to teach that value clearly from childhood.
