Nao Yasumori — memorable quote from Shiki

“In my family; Father, Mother, and Grandmother all hated each other. I was the trash can into which they dumped their hatred. That's why I only thought about beautiful and warm things, fun things. But after I met you, I understood. No matter how many beautiful stories I made, they were all lies. Because the person telling the stories, me, was an ugly and dirty creature.”

“I lost my mother when I was 8...and killed my father when I was 10. Those with the title of "Executive" or above...are my "family", with whom I've shared my joys and sorrows. They're the only thing I have! I won't forgive anyone that laughs at my family. Understood?”

“Family? Let me tell you what kind of link I have with them. They are just lumps of meat linked by hatred and murderous intent!”

“You're such a child. You talk of nothing but pipe dreams... there are times when people must make painful choices.”

“Marriage, the institution where one's existence goes to die. All married people prattle on about their so-called marital bliss about how they love saying "I'm home!" to their spouses, or how seeing their sleeping kids motivates them for tomorrow. But think about it: you can say "I'm home!" if you live your parents, you can even buy some mouthwash and say "I'm home!" to the hippos on the label. And if they're talking about seeing their sleeping kids, that just means they're working hellish overtime hours. How is that in any way blissful?”
