― 五代ゆう

“I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“If you keep lamenting your misfortune, you will never be happy, since you see the world through misfortune-tinted glasses. Everything and everyone looks wrong to you. Those who live under 'normal' circumstances look far more fortunate than you are, and seemingly look down on you. These people who feel they are unfortunate reject others, unless they are regarded to have a similar fate. Some of these people are able to abandon this attitude as they realize they are not the only unfortunate people in the world. However some of them gather in groups, lament even further and thus drown more deeply into misfortune.”
― Hinowa Kouzuki, 妖怪アパートの幽雅な日常 8

“No matter how ridiculous it is, its good to express your emotions while you are young. If not, you end up reaching your limit. We accumulate small and trivial experiences in life. But for those who can't treat their experiences as food to growth, they will reach the point of refusing to associate with other people with one line "I'm not to blame.”
― Hinowa Kouzuki, 妖怪アパートの幽雅な日常 3

“It wasn't natural talent that had shaped him into his present self. What he had done was simply think, make attempts, and learn from past failures. Anyone could do that, but it wasn't that easy. People were never willing to assess him properly, since that would mean they admitted that they had never struggled and make attempts.”
― Yuto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 13 [Shokugeki no Souma 13]

“Why do you think you were born into a good family and raised so well for? It's the trade-off for all that responsinility! Quit worrying about whatever you can do it or not, and just DO IT! That's your job. And when you're all done and finished, I'll listen to all the crying and complaining that you want.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, 中村 春菊

“I love him, no more and no less... I couldn't help but just love him with my entire being. All that is left is regret, nostalgia, and an insuppressible love that still persists to this day...”
― Shungiku Nakamura, 中村 春菊

“Cool down your head and think.
Just for a moment, forget your fanatism, anger, respect, everything.

“My call, you say? Like I really had any choice whenever you say something like that!”
― Kafka Asagiri, 文豪ストレイドッグス 8 [Bungō Stray Dogs 8]

“Human lives are not equal in their worth. The proof? People are sad when a good person dies, and happy when an evil person dies. And for me, a human's life has no worth. I am not, and neither do I plan to become, a saint who preaches about the value of human lives. Still... You have killed too many people.”
― kafka asagiri, 文豪ストレイドッグス外伝 綾辻行人VS.京極夏彦

“Of all the things that human beings do, do you know which one is tine most brazenly despicable? It's when people who have authority—and the people who flatter them-hide in safe places singing the praises of war; push a patriotic, sacrificial mind-set on the people; and then send them a to the battlefield. If peace is ever going to come to this galaxy, we should eradicate malignant parasites like those first instead of perpetuating this pointless war with the empire.”
― 田中芳樹, 銀河英雄伝説 1 [Ginga Eiyū Densetsu 1]

“There are all sorts of different families, Katie. Some families have one mommy, some families have one daddy, or two families. And some children live with their uncle or aunt. Some live with their grandparents, and some children live with foster parents. And some live in separate homes, in separate neighborhoods, in different areas of the country - and they may not see each other for days, or weeks, months... even years at a time. But if there's love, dear... those are the ties that bind, and you'll have a family in your heart, forever.”
― Anne Fine, Madame Doubtfire
