Takumi Nomiya — memorable quote from Honey and Clover

“I pushed him away and hurt him yet he still stood by my side. It's not a sane relationship. To be saved by seeing his hurt expression.”

“My role is to darken souls, even pure ones, until they become pitch black. By doing so, you can stay beautiful and shine bright, Mother. I do everything because of my love for you.”

“Girls who push their kindness onto others. I hate them to death. "I have a really beautiful heart, so please fall in love with me!" I'm only surrounded by these types of girls and they piss me off. But it's not that simple. In the end, they are just making a fool of themselves. But you... You're different from the other girls. You don't have ulterior motives or anything to gain. You've always been easygoing. That's why to you, I thought It'd be okay to at least say thank you.”

“To be loved out of sympathy is more devastating than to be rejected.”

“The days I spent with you were a lot of fun. I realized for the first time that it makes me so happy to be needed by others. I thought I'd get along well with you like this. But I can't. I was being a jerk. While I was with you, I was looking at someone else. I kept it to myself even after realizing that. I was taking advantage of your kindness.”
