Shiori Shiomiya — memorable quote from The World God Only Knows

“Remembering something that no one else can is a painful thing. You can't talk to anyone about it. No one will understand you. You'll be alone.”

“Are you afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, but you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone. Pain is something man must carry in his heart, and since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe that life is pain.”

“The warmth of another person's flesh is scary. It thaws out the loneliness that you had forgotten about so easily.”

“Lies are told prevent yourself from getting hurt.”

“They are two types of people. Those who let go and those who are let go. How many times have I watched people leave up until now? I may have been able to reach them if I'd reached out, but I was afraid of being pushed away, so I simply watched them disappear into the distance.”
