Emi Yusa — memorable quote from The Devil is a Part-Timer!

“If you take someone at puberty, a teen... introduce him or her to a member of the opposite sex around the same age and say, "This is the person who was meant for you"... and then go on to spend a lot of time together... why wouldn't you fall for them?”

“Sometimes, I wonder why people fall in love. Why do we abandon ourselves... to these painful and burdensome feelings?”

“A romance won't keep itself going forever. Eventually, you lose that all-important spark. Love has to be nurtured if it's going to last. If you want to be with someone forever, you need to put effort into the relationship... Great, now I'm talking cliches.”

“It's just... a love that's continued for many years without straying is something that, to anyone who sees it, is beautiful and impossible to fault. But... Though it may be short, and it may be something that's become crooked and bent partway through, if they're serious about the way they feel... then I don't think that's something that isn't beautiful.”

“People don't fall in love based on looks. And that's a scientific fact.”
