Takeo Gouda — memorable quote from My Love Story!!

“Who'd want to date girls that talk smack about your friends?”

“Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.”

“Okay. I will protect all of you. I will never let another friend die.”

“Yeah, we've become friends. When you're in the same party, there will be times when things don't go smoothly, when you get angry, and when you fight. But they really are your precious friends. It doesn't matter why you became friends, but that you are friends at this moment.”

“Look, you. All this talk about monsters...that's what people have called me ever since I was a kid. I've snapped and lost sight of everything around me, and I've made trouble for Celty more than once or twice. Even so, she still heard me out, without interrupting. And so now it's my turn to hear her out, all right?”
