Ritsu Kawai — memorable quote from The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior OVA: First Time

“I'd talk, but... I fell into the habit of not saying what I really felt, somewhere along the way. And then I started believing that there wasn't anything... that I really wanted to tell anyone.”

“I don't really want you to understand... I just don't want you to be like, 'Oh, is that all'? I don't need people to get it. These feelings... are important to me, and they're just for me.”

“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.”

“There are two kinds of girls in this world. Lovely girls who can get along with me. And all the bitches who can't”

“All the people I saw from my cage...All the things I saw from my cage, that was the whole world to me. At first, all I could sense was the hostility of the people looking at me from outside...And their feelings of fear. Piercing gazes, hurled stones, whips, sticks...Everything outside the cage was frightening, a source of pain...But eventually I began to realize something. I began to see their other emotions, not just their hostility and fear of me. They were the emotions of families, lovers, and friends who came to the sideshow...Emotions meant for each other.”
