Yatora Yaguchi from Blue Period is a very inspiring person who gradually rose to fame with his secret gift for painting in the shop after teaching himself the tricks of the trade from scratch. As the anime progresses, we see Yaguchi produce a variety of paintings; some of them catch the viewer’s attention, while others are quickly forgotten.

Here are his iconic dialogues.

But up until this point, I had never felt alive. Prior to creating that blue painting.

At that point… First time ever in my life… I had the impression that I was actually speaking with other people.

Once I’ve decided, I don’t want to take any more time.

I don’t get the motivation behind wanting to pursue what you love if you can’t support yourself off of it.

Even if I lack talent, I’m willing to take a chance right now.

I never considered myself talented, but I did believe I have improved greatly. It seems I’m simply a regular man.
