The image shown is a page from the Chrno (no, that's not a typo) Crusade manga. I actually read that part last night before sleeping and wanted to post about it, but I was too tired.The full conversation that happened goes like this: (For ease, I will refer to the characters by their names. The girl is Rosette and the man is Remington.)
Rosette (in tears): You're strong! Much stronger than someone like me! I... can't even save one person...
Remington: Rosette... You know... It's not because I'm strong. It's only because I'm walking a little ahead of you. The only difference between you and me is the distance we've traveled. People are... all the same. Making up for past regrets, present failures, and unease about the future. We have to move on as we fight.
Remington: Why don't we wait until the road is broken before we give up?
I think the words explain themselves. When everything looks down, never give up. Things may look bad now, but you can always improve on them. Regrets and mistakes are only stepping stones to become a better person. Even if the road before you is broken, that just means that you now have to repair it. Never. Give. Up.
(Shameless Plug: Chrno Crusade is also a pretty entertaining anime and manga series. ADV Films did a fantastic job on the English dub for the anime. I was genuinely surprised when I turned the language to English out of pure curiosity.)
