Takashi Natsume — memorable quote from Natsume's Book of Friends

“We probably are. I can't explain it very well, but it seems that lately it doesn't matter, human or spirit. If your hearts touch, it's the same thing. When you're all alone, you get lonely, and the first step is always scary.”

“People need to be told they're worthy of being alive by someone else or they can't go on.”

“People don't simply disappear from this world when they die. They only truly die when they are forgotten by those who are alive. That's why it doesn't matter whether I lived or died. No one knows of my existence, and I don't have I don't have a single friend. But... if you all won't forget about me... that is enough even if I die. With just that... I would be more alive than I ever have been.”

“On the internet, we only know each other's usernames. If we were talking face to face, I probably would never talk to them this way. They look at the "Real Me". They support me a lot... I wish there were more people like them.”

“They say time and a people’s heart are inversely proportional. The more it passes, the more they grow apart. It seems there are some rare exceptions though.”
