“I don’t put much trust in words like "personality" or "disposition" or "character." Those things all change depending on the situation.

“However happy or sad something is, you’ll soon forget it if you don’t get a chance to recall it. What people don’t realize is that they’ve forgotten about forgetting.

Licht-tans's piano skills are amazing, but see... be it you or anyone, it's impossible to become anything. Human life is so meaningless...”
“Why do we have to be okay being friends with someone who won't treat us as friends?”
“Don't you think forcing people to help with something pointless is far more cruel?”
“You have yet to see what form your soul has taken. That's what it actually means when you claim that you lack joy in your life.”
“What do you think about your world? Is it fun? Is it easy to live in?”
