Rurouni Kenshin: Memories Quotations

Here are some quotes I nicked from the OAV I borrowed from Eden-sempai (yeah, she's an older schoolmate :P). Feel free to raid at your own wish. This is not arranged in any order at all because I don't quite remember which cam from which Act. And yes this contains spoilers so I suggest you click on the back button to prevent this page from spoiling the 'fun'. If you would like to add quotes please don't be shy to Mail me and I would gladly accept your contribution/s. And don't worry, I'll give you the proper credit that you deserve. Right now, I'm looking for Japanese quotes. If anyone knows where I can get some please tell me where and I'll probably ask (or even grovel) to the owners of those quotes. It's really hard to understand Japanese since I do not speak the language, I only know a few words and I cannot catch up because they talk so fast ^_^'. Thank you!
