Natsuki Takaya
“We're all born with selfish desires, so we can all relate to those feelings in others. But kindness is something made individually by each person...so it's easy to misunderstand when others are trying to be kind to you.”
Natsuki Takaya, Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition, Vol. 3

Diana Wynne Jones
“Things are going round and round in my head--or maybe my head is going round and round in things.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle

“The part of a person that's remarkable is like the umeboshi on the back of a rice ball. All around the world, there are different colors, shapes, and flavors, but because it's stuck to the back, they might not be able to see their precious umeboshi. 'I'm not special,' each one would think, 'just plain ole rice.' Even though that's not true, and there is an umeboshi on the back. The reason people get jealous of one another is because they can see the umeboshi on other people's backs. Even now, someone might be feeling envious of something you don't recognize in yourself.”
Tohru Honda

“By now it was clear that Howl was in a mood to produce green slime any second. Sophie hurriedly put her sewing away. "I'll make some hot buttered toast," she said. "Is that all you can do in the face of tragedy??" Howl asked. "Make toast!”
Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle

“Interesting things did seem to happen, but always to somebody else.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle
