“If you come across an event that's too good to be true, it's probably poison.”
“Also, the "fear" experience is a little different from yours, I imagine. You're afraid of what you might lose, right? But I'm afraid of what I've already lost.”
“So everyone just pretends to understand... and pretends to be understood.”
“People's thoughts don't always mirror how they feel. That's why they sometimes make decisions that seem nonsensical.”
“A suicide means you've killed the most important existence of all: yourself.”
“It's truly infuriating... I despise people like you who put their own lives in jeopardy for some glorious, hopeless cause.”
“What are people? What is the "self"? So long as you look like someone else, no one can't tell who's really on the inside.”
“People's thoughts, wishes, hopes and desires... We live in a time where technology can read everything in your mind, and yet, this place teems with people who hate, lie, steal and try to harm others. If that's not irrational, then what is it?”
“A beautiful flower too will eventually wither and fall. That's the fate of all living beings. If that's the case, it's only natural for one to want to stop the time while they're still blossoming in all full glory.”
“That day four years ago... When I wasn't needed by anyone. When nobody cared about me. When I had given up on living and was about to jump off the roof of a building... FB saved me with a single message. I didn't care if it was a joke or not. I was just happy that somebody knew... that I was alive... that it was OK for me to live...”
“Applying knowledge is of the utmost importance when studying. You wrestle with various things and come up with a solution from there. It's true that asking someone who knows the answer is the quickest. But you can't necessarily say that that's the best way, don't you think?”
“Overall, I think people tend to reveal their true selves when they step into an avatar. As I said earlier, they probably feel some sense of freedom. But freedom easily gained quickly turns into a false sense of omnipotence.”
“Everyone lives their own way. Whether you live for yourself or live for others... that is your own decision. A life of earnestly protecting and tending to someone isn't bad either. Though it's not that glorious of a life.”
“Stop running! I know. Even if you find the kids, you might not be able to help them. Maybe something could happen that can never unhappen. That scares you, doesn't it? But you need to think about now. Really take it in! Look at you: you think you've got it so damn hard. Well, you hate being alone, so let people in! Sure, you may not answer the phone, but I don't see you throwing it away, either!”
“I don't like sparklers all that much. It burns so beautifully for just a little while and when it's done, only black cinders remain. It's like a misbegotten life and it makes me feel lonely for no good reason.”
“Everyone has different faces.”
“Anything can be a sword if you polish it enough.”
“You probably do lose a lot, but that just means you need to fill what you lost with new things.”
“Most people don’t mind killing cows and chickens but they’d probably have a hard time doing the same to chimpanzees. Partially, it’s because chimpanzees bear a slight resemblance to humans, but the primary reason is that they can draw pictures. Suppose fish were able to draw pictures. Even if we are unable to understand what they’re thinking, it becomes harder to kill animals that can draw. Instinctively, in our minds we would say to ourselves… “May be they have feelings” That shows how high a value we assign to expression.”
“Fear is proof that your imagination is functioning. Frankly, I feel bad for anyone who can't feel fear. Without imagination, you can never deduce which action to take next.”
