Watashi — memorable quote from Humanity Has Declined

“Misfortune… that is my symbol. Unluckiness… that is my identity. I am a woman who looks best dressed in solitude and misfortune. That is who I am.”

“After being driven out of the orphanage, I had nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep, and, as one might expect, not a cent to my name. Yet, I lack the courage to commit theft. That is how I've arrived at my current predicament... However... if I wish to live, I have no choice but to steal and take from others!”

“Anything I would never want to lose is always lost. It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it. There's nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.”

“Liars always say the same things. "I'll believe in you. I'll protect you. I care about you." I'll never believe that again... No one will ever protect me. I won't even think about it. I'll fight alone, live alone, and die alone. I know... I've felt it on my skin and in my body... That it's better not to believe in anyone than believe and be betrayed!”

“The day when you'll finally understand me... will never come.”
