Kyon — memorable quote from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

“People can never truly understand each other! That's why we communicate and try to understand. We can only understand ourselves through being with others!”

“Those three are best friends. They have their respective secrets. And they're deliberately trying not to give themselves away. But neither Orihara or Shizuo had any secrets whatsoever. And that resulted in the complete opposite kind of personal relationship.”

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value. Rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”

“Really, what a joke. I just didn’t understand what these nice guys were thinking about. Because they were so in love with everyone getting along, they ended up opening up other problems when they try to fix one. I didn’t even ask to be thrown into that circle either.”

“Someone told me this: "Nothing is "forever" in human relationships". That might be true, but it sounds awfully lonely. But I realized today... If there really is no such thing as "forever"... Then having someone important is the happiest thing one can attain in life.”
