“I'm not a philosopher . . . but I think what a sinner really needs isn't punishment. It's to understand the pain of being forgiven.”
― Inio Asano, Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, Vol. 3

“Aiko: “If we see shooting stars what would you wish for Punpun?”

Punpun: “Wishing upon shooting stars doesn’t make it come true.”

Aiko: “Right, but what if. What would you wish for if they did?”

Punpun: “I’d wish for shooting stars to disappear forever.”

- Goodnight Punpun”
― Inio Asano

“Fasting is a struggle against nature and the removal of all that stimulates the palate, the inhibition of lust, the excision of evil thoughts, liberation from dreams, purity in prayer, the radiance of the soul, the defense of the mind, liberation from blindness, the gateway of remorse, humble sorrow, joyful remorse, a break from speaking, an agent for stillness, a watch for obedience, alleviation of sleep, health of body, a means to dispassion, a clearing of sins, a door to Paradise and its joy.”
― John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent

“When Aiko said this, Punpun realized that he probably WAS retarded.”
