rotatesPre-Series
-"And I thought the sound of hooves kicking the ground was beautiful. I believed I knew what the horse was thinking and feeling from the way it ran."
-"My son's a horse riding genius." "And I believed that too."
-"When on horseback, I got everything I wanted. Everyone flattered me from below... and brought me riches."
-Cuts in a line, tells the person he cuts in front of to shut up, bribes theater owners to kick him out
SBR
-Determined to enter the SBR, gets dragged around by a horse all night
-"If you try to stop him from getting on the horse, he threatens to set himself on fire and commit suicide."
-"I don't listen to people's orders."
-"And Gyro has given me the courage to push forward in this crisis."
-"I was really thankful that a useless person like me could have a purpose for living."
-"There's no way I'm going back to being a quitter."
-"You must be the type that listens to half of what people have to say, and then judge them!"
-Chooses not to shoot Hot Pants, reasons with her instead.

-Honest. "I want the corpse more than you do... so a part of me won't allow myself to be completely angry with you."
-Doesn't want to waste opportunities. "I'm not gonna sing it twice, you know!" "... Then I want to hear it."

-"My soul was dying slowly before I entered this race... now I feel like it's reborn."
Lessons
"This is lesson 1. Don't get your hopes up. Your legs moving was just a simple bodily reflex and nothing more."
"Lesson 2 is to work those muscles. Holding the wrist rightly like this, the muscle automatically knows to bend. The flesh instinctively protects the body by wounding the muscle."
"Johnny, lesson 3! When we were camped out you said you spun the cork! It's the same with the bullet, toss it! Believe in the spin! The power of rotation is limitless, trust in that!"
"Lesson 4 is, pay your respects. There's a shape called the golden rectangle, ever heard of it? It creates a spiral that continues forever. This is the 'Golden Spin'."
"Johnny! Lesson 5. The next one's lesson 5. I always tried to take the fastest shortcut in this Steel Ball Run race. But the shortest route was a detour. It was the detour that was our shortest path. And because of you, we were able to take that route."
