Keima Katsuragi — memorable quote from The World God Only Knows

“People live to save themselves.”

“Clausewitz, he pointed out that no matter how carefully one plans, on the battlefield, even the smallest of details can cause setbacks. Regardless of how well-thought it is, armchair strategizing only works in the realm of theory. Unexpected troubles, or uncontrollable factors such as weather. Operations face those sorts of troubles. They are the cause of strife on the battlefield.”

“Seasons change just like the passing of time. We all have out destines and then we must move. That's they way it has always been.”

“You must not hope for society to change for you. Do not reject society. To put it bluntly, that is simply a waste of time.”

“The vast ocean of words. Without a means to cross the ocean, we can only stand and watch keeping the words we desperately want to express inside. A dictionary is a ship that is able to cross that ocean.”
