NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK) Quotes

“Not asking for help doesn't mean that you don't want to be saved. Similarly, not saying you like someone doesn't mean that you don't like her. Everybody has words they can't say rashly, Araragi-kun”
― NisiOisiN, 猫物語 (黒) [Nekomonogatari]

“Okay? It's okay! Don't worry about it! Just chill out! You don't have to feel like you're suffering just because your life is unfortunate, you don't have to sulk just because your life hasn't been blessed! What's wrong with staying positive in the face of adversity? You know what? What you're going to do after this is go home looking like nothing ever happened! Live the same old life with your father and mother who are out of the hospital now! You'll never be able to reconcile with either of them, I guarantee that! Even if you somehow beat the odds and become happy someday, it's not going to matter, because no matter how happy you are, it's never going to erase your crappy past! You can't pretend it never happened, you're going to be dragging it around with you! No matter what you do, no matter what happens, that misfortune is going to sit in your heart forever! You'll remember it just when you think you forgot, you'll dream about it for the rest of your life! We are going to have nightmares for the rest of our lives! That's how it's going to be-and since there's nothing you can do about it, don't try to look away! Playing a prank on some random passerby, playing streaker in your underwear is just going to take a tiny bit of stress off your mind, in reality it's not going to change a thing!”

“Female high schoolers in underwear and cat's ears are what I find hot!”
― NisiOisiN, 猫物語 (黒) [Nekomonogatari]

“You selfishly decided to love them and selfishly decided to hate them. You selfishly put store in them and were selfishly disappointed by them. You selfishly felt enchanted and selfishly felt disillusioned.”
― NisiOisiN, NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK): Cat Tale

“A child doesn't always turn out the way his parents want him to. Still, he's influenced by his parents' expectations...”
― NisiOisiN, NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK): Cat Tale

“I don’t know if you’d call it an absurd ending or a surprise ending, but the story is supposed to have a bit of a moral. You know, the kind of preachy structure you see all the time in folktales. There’s no such thing as a wholly virtuous man, and kindness, in the end, is only skin-deep. Everything has an opposite─where there is light, there is darkness; where there is white, there is black. The cat is nothing more than a trigger. The story isn’t just about how cats are ungrateful─it’s an episode meant to shine light on the reverse side of us all.”
