The Fruit of Grisaia

“There are only two times when a man can cry in public: when he loses his wallet and when his mother dies. And even if you cry in private, there's a severe restriction. Shed tears for others. The only thing you should be shedding for yourself is sweat. Remember that.”

“It's too soon to give up. We aren't in Hell yet. This world is still worth surviving for.”

“If someone lives, they will surely die. That is the absolute rule of this world.”

“There are always lazy people to deal with when you act as a group. Splitting into pairs and handling out jobs is more efficient.”

“I believe that "I could have done something" is the most frustrating regret of them all.”

“That makes four time. Listen. The more you say, "I'm sorry", the lesser it's worth.”

“This is something my master used to say. "Kids who are too obedient and never think of themselves are the hardest to watch."”

“When cats are near death, they leave their owner's side, right? I'm sure that's exactly how I feel. I want to disappear while they can think, "What a noisy, stupid girl she was, I wonder if she's doing okay."”

“At that point in my life, I couldn't find any value in anything. I was a brat who may as well be dead.”

“Colors and lies both get blacker as you add more. Add enough red, and it'll turn black too.”

“At this point, no matter how I change, the things I've lost won't come back.”

“According to my master, when you're a kid, just being a fast runner makes you popular. In middle school, it's holding your own in a fight. After that, brains make you popular. Her point seemed to be, "Run fast, hit hard, and read books."”

“Lies are like colours. The more you pile up, the blacker things get.”

“Life comes at a cost. Wouldn’t it be arrogant to die before you’ve repaid that debt?”

“In this world, when you face forward, that's the future. When you look back, it's a memory. And if you clip a part of it out, that becomes a story.”

“Being indebted to someone is nothing to be ashamed of. Not repaying that debt is.”

“I was feeling down, but you distracted me by subjecting me to your selfish whims. There are times when selfishness can save a person.”
