Naruto Quote
After barely winning against Kimimaro
Gaara: It was sheer luck... I should have been killed.
Rock Lee: No, it was not meant to be. My sensei has often said to me: "A good ninja makes his own luck."
Gaara: ...That meddlesome mother hen...
Rock Lee: (offended) Guy-Sensei is nothing of the sort! Yes, he stepped in, but only that once, and only because I was not strong enough. I am very grateful to you for having saved my life, but I warn you, I will not abide of anyone speaking ill of my sensei.
Gaara: So you're another one, eh?
Rock Lee: Hm?
Gaara: You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt inflicted on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain.
Kimimaro: (memory) --I will live on. I am not alone. A part of me will live on in Lord Orochimaru's heart forever. --He is the the one, the only one who gave my life meaning!! How could YOU ever understand that?!?
Gaara: To feel so strongly for someone you would fight for them... and die for them... You and Naruto Uzumaki have that in common.
Rock Lee: (gasps slightly)
Gaara: However, what if this person you honor and would even die for is not a virtuous person?
Rock Lee: Impossible! Such a person would be unworthy of honor or respect.
Gaara: No... Perhaps the companionship of an evil person... is preferable to loneliness...
