“Someone who can be deceived by others will be deceived again and again.”
“Why did you run away, Chitoge-chan? No... I don't want this... I won't be happy with you just giving up... To end up liking the same person. It's painful, for sure but Chitoge-chan, you like him enough to not be able to face him again after that, don't you? Regardless of who ends up with him, I want to be satisfied when it happens. I thought for sure that you think the same way. Is there a reason why that can't happen? Tell me Chitoge-chan...”
“I'll tell you a way that I heard to figure out if you like someone or not. Imagine, when you find a rainbow, when you found a shooting star, when you found a cafe you like, when your change is 777 yen or something. If it's Raku, it's fine to imagine the first time a leaf stood up in your tea. When you found a beautiful sunset, or if you found your taste in music, or if you win a pretty good prize in the lottery, those small things in everyday life. When you encounter those small happiness or luck, who is the very first person you want to tell that to? Whose face came into your mind?”
“Don't you ever worry about it? Wonder if there's something wrong with you? When you're always alone... you start comparing yourself with others. You want to make sure you're normal. But... when you're around lots of people, you don't compare yourself with them. You want to be yourself. It's okay to be weird... You want to be special. That's how it balances out.”
“I thought that would be the only way I could become the world's strongest man. But you know... It didn't work. Your heart isn't something you can get rid of. If you're trying to get rid of your heart, your heart is making you do it. You can never abandon everything to get stronger. The one thing you can never stop is falling in love with someone!”
“I'm sorry for not saying this to you, Akihisa-kun. I know I shouldn't hide this from you, but I was wondering whether I should tell you this. Because if I told you that, you'll definitely tell me "you should go", or something like that. I understand you'll say that for my sake, but I don't wish to hear you say anything like a farewell to me, Akihisa-kun. Because-- I like you, Akihisa-kun!”
“No, I do want to be the hero... But since it’s a rare chance, I want to repay what I borrowed. Uu... how should I say it? I’m really troubled. I bet everything on such an important match, yet I didn't accomplish anything before this thing ends. I can only wish that others can finish off this wish that I would never give up on. Should I be depressed, or angry, or is it an inexplicable feeling... I don't know how to express it, but anyway— I’M JUST UNHAPPY THAT I’M NOT THE PROTAGONIST TODAY!”
“It doesn't seem right to let a girl choose me. I would rather choose the girl I devote myself to.”
“The impostor is an impostor because it can't be distinguished from the real thing. The proof of its falsity is in its resemblance to the real thing.”
“Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
“Haven't you already lifted your foot, preparing to step forward? Then you only have one option! Finish taking that step!”
“Being rivals does not mean being an enemy.”
“Re-explaining my memories through words made good memories easier to savor, and bad memories easier to accept.”
“Fight with all your might. With those young kids, give your mind and heart a solid workout. Let your heart, which had dried up and gotten stiff, beat once more.”
“Cry when you’re sad. Laugh when you’re happy. Get angry when you don’t like something. Depend on someone when you’re depressed. Care for yourself before you care for others. Don’t hate anyone. Be proud of yourself. Stay loyal when you fall in love.”
“I’d rather have my physical pain exceed my mental pain than the other way around. By hurting myself just enough, I could turn my attention to that.”
“Life has no weight in itself; it’s a concept created by the observer that does not have a definite form. Essentially, life does not entail multiple instances but is just one massive wobbly lump. However, we tend to refer to the bodies that were formed out of that giant lump as “lives”. The essence of life is in all of us and can’t be “stolen” or “born.” As long as the essence of life exists, life does not decrease or increase, and it certainly won’t disappear.”
“Truth is a shy little thing. If you approach it, it will hide. Truth is a lonesome little thing. If you move away from it, it will give chase.”
“It's okay to live, even if there's no greater point to living.”
“As my fingers and toes re-grew like fingernails or hair over and over and over and over... and over again, every single time I got the feeling that I truly, truly truly was a monster.”
