Sword Art Online first started as a light novel series. And the success of that evolved into an Anime.

The same anime that’s now known all over the world for it’s “virtual reality” story-line. And the dramatic introduction to the series.

A season 1, season 2, millions in sales, and a movie later, fans feel a connection to their favorite SAO characters.

If this describes you, then you’ve landed on the right blog post!

Being a fan of Sword Art Online myself, I’ve gathered 20 of the best SAO quotes worth sharing.

Here they are…

Sword Art Online Quotes #1

“God would never put us through all this suffering if he didn’t think we could bear it.” – Yuuki Konno

One of Yuuki Konno’s saddest quotes.

Klein Quotes #2

“Just consider hardships as another part of training and keep working hard.” – Klein

Good way to look at life.

Kirito Quotes #3

“Whether here or in the real world, you can cry when it hurts. There’s no rule that you can’t show feelings just because it’s a game.” – Kirito

Asuna Yuuki Quotes #4

“Life isn’t just doing things for yourself. It’s possible to live in such a way that other people’s happiness, makes you happy too.” – Asuna Yuuki

Love this Asuna quote.

Yuuki Konno Quotes #6

One of the deepest, saddest SAO quotes from the whole series.

Lisbeth (Rika Shinozaki) Quotes #8

“I too, was looking for something. Something real in this world. For me, it was the warmth of your hand.” – Lisbeth

Lisbeth quote taken from season 1 of SAO.

Kazuto Kirigaya Quotes #9

“Everybody can fight. It’s just a choice of whether you should.” – Kirito

Sachi Quotes #10

“Even if I die, you keep living okay? Live to see the end of this world, and to see why it was born. Live to see why a weak girl like me ended up here. And the reason you and I met.” – Sachi

One of the saddest Sword Art Online moments was this quote by Sachi.

Akihiko Kayaba Quotes #11

“A person is very strong when he seeks to protect something.” – Akihiko Kayaba

Silica Quotes #12

“It’s impossible to work hard for something you don’t enjoy.” – Silica

Asuna Yuuki Quotes #13

“There is one thing I’ve learned here. To keep doing your best, up until the very end.” – Asuna Yuuki

Probably one of Asuna’s best quotes. At least to me!

Kirito Quotes #14

“I don’t even know the real names of the two… no, three that I killed back then. I just close my eyes, put my hands over my ears and tried to forget it all.” – Kirito

Yuuki Konno Quotes #15

“Sometimes you have to fight to get your point across.” – Yuuki Konno

Sometimes there’s just no other way to get your point across. Because people can be difficult.

And fighting may be the only option you have. And not necessarily in a physical way.

Yuuki Asuna Quotes #16

“I cried alone every single night. It felt like every day that passed here stole another piece of my real life away. After I cried, I’d go and fight as hard as I could. My only thought was winning, moving forward and getting stronger.” – Asuna Yuuki

Kirito Quotes #17

“Real pain is the result of losing someone you care about.” – Kirito

Yuuki Konno Quotes #18

“I always say exactly what I’m feeling, and if they don’t like me, that’s fine! It doesn’t change the fact that I was close to their hearts.” – Yuuki Konno

You don’t have to force others to like you. Because not everybody will.

But don’t let that stop you from being true to yourself.

Yuuki Asuna Quotes #19

“Sometimes the things that matter the most are right in front of you.” – Yuuki Asuna

Kirito Quotes #20

“I thought that the closer the real and virtual world got, the better the future would be. But the more the boundary between them blurs, the more it starts to trick people.” – Kirito
