23 Best Emiya Shirou quotes

1- “I don’t mind losing to someone, but I won’t be beaten by myself.
” Emiya Shirou

2- “Even if I could redo the past, I must not take back what has already happened, because if I do that, everything would be a lie: those tears, that pain, those memories, that cold reality that hurts my heart, all of it. There were people who died in pain. There were people who risked their lives to save others. There were people who mourned for the deaths. But then, if everything were taken back and it did not happen, where would all of those go? The dead people would not come back. Reality cannot be overturned. To continue on remembering the pain and the weight… isn’t that how lost things remain? People will eventually die and death itself is sad, but pain shouldn’t be the only thing that remains. A death is painful, but it also leaves behind bright memories. As I am bound by these people’s deaths… As I am protected by my memories of Kiritsugu… I believe memories become constraints and change the people living now… Even if… They are memories that will eventually be forgotten.
” Emiya Shirou

But still… Even if it will not reach her, there should be something that will remain in our hearts. There is nothing that remains in our hands, but we lived the same time and looked up at the same things. If I can remember that. I can believe that we can be together even if we are far apart.
