“Family isn't about the blood you share. It's about the people willing to bleed for you." ---Maris - Born of Fury”

“Family isnt about blood relationships, its about the meaning behind them. I relize now that sharing chromosoms is not the only way to having a family, its about the friendship behind it.”

“You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family.”

“If you hate gossip or people talking about you behind your back, then politics isn't for you.”

“You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.”

“Nobody cares, nobody cares. You worry about yourself, your family and the people that are important to you.”

“Naruto, it's nice that you removed the poison so spiritedly, but you'll bleed to death if you lose any more blood… Seriously….”
