"I once read something in a book. That there were 14 physical formulas that form this universe. And that if the math in any one of them didn’t work perfectly, the universe would never have been born. The probability of a miracle. A miracle world."
-- Takami Komoda,
Bokurano"Every two seconds, somewhere in the world, a child dies of starvation. That means every two seconds, there is a story where the main character dies. That’s a lot of horrible stories. So if my death looks like a sad story to someone else, I hope those people will use their imagination to think of all the children who don’t get special deaths."
-- Kana Ushiro,
Bokurano"To me, if anyone, any single person in the movie, dies, it’s a sad ending. The only difference between those sad endings is if the fictional hero ends the movie feeling pain for the fictional masses who die. But that hardly ever happens. Why do the hero-style main characters always end the movie smiling and laughing? Why does the audience think it’s a happy ending?"

Bokurano(Yeah, I
really like Bokurano.)
"Though I did not know the place,
I set out for the land of my dreams.
Having arrived in the land of my dreams,
I find I do not know the place"

Kino no Tabi - The Beautiful World (novel)"While still covering my face with my hands, I stuck my head in the washing machine and cried quietly. Mokuzu. Mokuzu. Into unreliable guns with little force, Mokuzu loaded sugar candy bullets, I loaded live rounds, and we kept shooting, but it didn’t look like we could take anything down.
"Children were all soldiers, and this world was a game of survival."

A Lollipop or a Bullet (novel)"Your life is only worth living for the weekend, and that means you’re throwing away 5 days out of 7. Calculated, you’re throwing away about 70% of your life just so you can live the remaining 30%. I think your sacrifice is amazing."
-- Woo Min Kim,
Zebra"We humans are quite strange. It seems when we are poor we desire wealth, yet once we become familiar with wealth, we look fondly upon poverty."
-- Miguel,
Cesare"I think love is a very selfish emotion. I mean, to love someone is a selfish act. I also think it’s a wonderful thing. But even then, it still doesn’t give you the license to do whatever you want. Even if we get to the blissful stage where the love and affection is mutual, we are still two different people. You can’t expect the object of your desire to love you in the exact same way you love her.
"I want to remember the thrill that I felt when we first met. You can’t take love for granted. If you love someone, you need to discover the boundaries of your relationship in order to make it last.
"I think romantic love will blossom when you and I accept each other as strangers. Different people, different hearts."
-- Utako Ogawa,
The Thief with 20 Faces"It may be that most of the news is fact. But the news doesn’t usually include the feelings of the perpetrators or the victims–what their families go through. In most cases, we only know the 'reality' of what happened. Not the truth behind it."
-- Subaru Sumeragi,
Tokyo Babylon"Everyone’s actions are entirely selfish. Even when we do something for another person, it is only because we want the satisfaction that we made someone else happy."
-- Seishirou Sakurazuka,
Tokyo Babylon"A train robbery is where you take a train to your destination, make your move, and take a train back, right?"
-- Isaac and Miria,
