“Inuyasha: Just shut up and let me protect you!”

“He is just protective over me-”
“Not protective, Tania. Consumed.”

“”Oh, gods,” he cried. ”Oh, gods protect me! It’s you!”
“Of course it’s me,“ said Locke. “You just don’t know who the hell I am yet.“”

“When you were too young and naïve to see the risks, I incurred your wrath to protect you. Scream at me for it if you must. Thank me for it when you finally grow up.”

“Maybe you just can't protect people from certain specialized types of folly with any sane amount of regulation, and the correct response is to give up on the high social costs of inadequately protecting people from themselves under certain circumstances.”

“I just want to protect them no matter how much pain befalls me.”

“You no trouble. Me… Fifth element… supreme being… me protect you.”

“That was the rule that you never mixed up troubles at home with life at school. When parents were poor or ignorant or mean, or even just didn't believe in having a TV set, it was up to their kids to protect them.”

“Giving up at something that no longer serves a purpose, or protects you, or helps you, isn't giving up at all, it's growing up.”

“Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible. I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them - certain traits, certain places where you don’t let the world go.”
