“Every day, the words cross my mind. "If I had done this back then..." but they don't take the sincere form of regret. The words are just an excuse that come to my mind then disappear.”
“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 intended to listen to your voice, but it really was nothing but intentions. It's pretty obvious, huh? Of course there's more going on than what people choose to tell you... But I convinced myself that was all there is to a person. I knew that, but still I interpreted the stuff I didn't understand about you in ways convenient for me... That's just how I am.”
“Simplicity is the easiest path to true beauty.”
“Stop pitying yourself. Pity yourself, and life becomes an endless nightmare.”
“You can only become friends by talking to people and finding out whether you get along.”
“The two of us aren't so different. My whole life I've desired from others. I felt bitter to the people around me and I closed off my heart...and a heart that lets nothing in..will become empty before you realize it. But in this world, you'll sometimes meet meddlesome people who will, even without asking, give you the love you need. And for someone like you or me, meeting such a person is very blissful.”
“Things would have been so much better back then... If we had heard each other's voices. I hate myself. I was selfish, and I never thought about anyone else's feelings. Since then, my classmates have all looked down on me. I've lived for seventeen years, and I haven't lived one of them as a good person. The only time I heard your voice was when we got into that fight. And what pisses me off the most is the fact that I haven't changed at all since back then! But.,. But now, I think I can understand what you were saying... Nishimiya. Me and you... Can we be... friends? Shit!! I went way too far!! I was just gonna apologize and get out of here! Why the hell did I end up asking her to be friends?... Why did I even say that?! Jeez, that's so embarrassing! How can you even say that?”
“It's easy to say "choose so that you'll have no regrets," but that's impossible. No matter how hard you've agonized over your path, you'll always regret something about it later. That's just how we humans are made. Which is why I think our true feelings are important. If you choose your path based on your true feelings, it'll hurt just a little less when you feel the same regret, right?”
“Books are nice, aren't they? With just one sentence you can get lost in all sorts of dreams. They way I think of it, literature allows the reader's consciousness to deeply relish the author and be closer to him. And so, we freely walk around the world of the story from the yarn spinner's point of view. It's only when you immerse yourself in the world of a book that you are able to forget just who you are.”
“I want to reply with a long message, but if it's too long, that might be kind of revolting. But if it's too short, then I might come off as cold instead. Feeling apprehensive of what to do, I decided to reply back with a similar word count instead. This was what they called "mirroring" in psychology. By emulating the actions of the other party, your affection levels would increase!”
“What is love? Its when your eyes start following someone, and you look for them if they’re not around. You get excited thinking you might run into him when you’re putting your shoes on in the morning. And when you don’t it’s a little disappointing. But then you pass by him and that makes you happy for the rest of the day. It feels like you can handle anything. Seeing him is enough to make you happy.”
“People only find me interesting because they can't tell whether I'm serious or not.”
“In the end the shape and form don't matter at all, it's only the soul that matters, right? Nothing else.”
“I'm still a man too, I wanted to look calm and composed in front of everyone. Especially in front of the one I'm in love with.”
“Everyone Makes Mistakes. But people's feelings can manifest through the most subtle of expressions.”
“Slowly, by spending time together with that person, your love for him will grow bigger.”
“The inexperienced draw attention by acting differently.”
“The words of your past are fundamentally unrelated to who you are now.”
“There are two kinds of girls in this world. Lovely girls who can get along with me. And all the bitches who can't”
