“Do you dislike that someone you once knew has become someone new without your knowing?”
“Space extends infinitely. The probability of an encounter may be low, but it isn't nonexistent.”
“It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.”
“Romance is all about how far you'll go to prove your love. Finding a person who's worth the effort is pure luck. You just gotta wait for the right hurricane to sweep you off your feet.”
“Nothing can remain the same forever, because if you don't change you can't improve... Facing this inescapable ''reality'' if you don't grow... You'll be crushed... For everyone to ascend and accomplish their dreams. They must grow.”
“A rose will be born a rose. Different soil and water wouldn't change it into a different flower.”
“What am I to you anyway? You get all teary eyed whenever it suits you but you never stop to think about my feelings and how you might be messing with my heart. You want some nice guy to be a part of your life but only if its on your terms. All this talk of just being friends with a guy... don't make me laugh!”
“It is a virtue to devote one's self to something, firmly believing in one's own ideals. But that does not mean it's alright to belittle the ideals or feelings of others. If you lead such a busy life and you don't realize how your parents feel, it's only self-satisfaction. It's alright to stop every now and again, if you want a moment's rest, if you want to feel what other people feel.”
“Merits, demerits, risks, returns; if they were these things then I understood. I could understand. Desire and self-protection, hatred from jealousy. I could analyze the mentality of the actions that were grounded on these abundant, repulsive emotions. That's because I had plenty of those ugly feelings inside of me. That's why it was simple to imagine. if they were similar things, then there was still room to understand it. I could explain using logic. However, if there wasn't, then it was difficult. Without the concept of profit and loss, it was hard to imagine the feelings of people who went beyond people who went beyond logic and theory. I had too little to go on and above all else. I had committed too many mistakes up until now. Good will, friendship, or even love; they were all things I had been mistaken with. I was sure that I was mistaken with them even now as I thought about them.”
“No man's life is worth more than another! If you're gonna put your life on the line, you do it as equals! I don't care if you're brothers, or master and apprentice, or whatever! You should only die for a guy who'd die for you! There's nothing honorable about throwing your life away as though it's nothing! That's just showing off like a kid.”
“Aging is quite similar to death. Some people stand up to aging and death as if it were nothing. They can do it not because they're braver than others, but simply because they lack imagination. Only once people deny that which they love, do they become able to create it anew. Perhaps, the book I write, too, will die one day just like my body will. However, people have to accept that death is unavoidable. They will probably be gone in ten years. Their books will no longer exist in a hundred years. People accept this. Eternity is promised neither to humans nor to books. We live because we were born. If the system possesses the power of life and death over you... you're no longer a human. You're livestock. No matter how hard a rancher tries to pretend otherwise, they never recognize their livestock as friends. It's a mystery to me... How is it that these people, treated as livestock in this boring society, have not tried at all to destroy it? Nothing in this world is eternal. The only thing that truly exists is the splendor of the souls that atone for their sins.”
“For the first time, I felt honoured at being allowed to compete in this game of truth and error, and witches as a human... And ironically, that taught me that the truth is not necessarily only one when I believed that only one truth existed. By just broadening my field of vision a little, I can see a truth that is completely different. And no matter which one of the truths, if you can only see one of them, they will not be the right answer... Ah, in my life until now, I wonder how many truths have I turned away from because I was blinded by some trivial truth...? This is... the truth... of the world...”
“The past isn't something you can just throw away. It stays with us forever. It's the same for everyone. We must live on, and carry the burdens of the past with us. That's why it's important that you carry the burden of what you do now and how you've decided to live your life today.”
“Everyone's birthplace and upbringing is different. It's obviously impossible for them to understand each other.”
“If wishes could be granted, if desires could be fulfilled, then I wouldn't wish or desire for anything after all. The things you're handed on a silver platter are never genuine, and never everlasting. And that is why I'll always keep searching.”
“This is your life right? Then decide for yourself! If you want to protect everything with your hands then do so, if you want to abandon everything then do so. But, what do you yourself want to do right now? Can you really be satisfied giving someone else that you don’t really understand your most important thing?”
“Now, you’ve only got two different options to choose from: Prove that everything I just said was bullshit, or admit your guilt.”
“I don't mind losing to someone, but I won't be beaten by myself.”
“Not every result can be the one desired. Trust your own judgments and actions. That is enough.”
“It is impossible to not hurt someone. Humans unconsciously hurt others by simply existing. Whether you are alive or dead, you keep hurting people. Getting involved will hurt them, but trying not to get involved might hurt them too. But if it's someone you don't care about, you won't notice you've hurt them. What's important is your awareness of it. It's because you care about them, that you feel like you've hurt them. Caring about someone means being resolved to the fact that you'll hurt them. The more people care for each other, the farther out of reach certain things get. But that's not something to be sad about, I think it's probably something to be proud of.”
