These quotes also teach that death is not the end. Rengoku died. His words did not. His fire passed to Tanjiro. Pass your fire to someone else. Mentor someone. Believe in someone. Your legacy is not what you built. Your legacy is who you lit on fire.

Keep these quotes close when you feel your flame dying. When you want to give up. When life feels too hard. Rengoku reminds you that the fire is still there. Fan it. Feed it. Set your heart ablaze. Then keep burning.
