Jpn : 芸術は永遠、興亡は一瞬!
Phonetic: Geijyutsu wa eien, koubou wa isshun!
Eng: Art is eternal, and the rise and fall in a moment!
(I have learned everything important in my life from animation/manga)
There are many things in the world that it takes so much time and effort to obtain or create, but it takes an instant to lose and destroy them. For instance, acquiring trust takes so much time, but one loses it in a moment.
