❝They say people live to be happy. If you actually think about what happiness is, it’s nothing much. When you get to eat ramen after feeling really, really hungry, that’s happiness.❞

❝Humans seem to be programmed to think of ambivalent feelings at the same time. That is the driving force behind human beings: to be the warrant of all things and to control other worlds.❞

❝I think that there's no need to live your life based on the standards of others. Everyone says 'dream big,' but I don't think you have to live so fiercely like that all the time.❞

❝Looking for answers when there aren't any, but we still learn. Isn't that what life is about?❞

❝It's important to protect and defend my faith and be the owner of my own life, and also it's important that we live like the earth we live on, living only with rotations. It's unavoidable.❞

❝This nightmare will repeat. Everyone will be sad, will be sick, from time to time. You will fall down sometimes. But we want to shout out, 'I'm fine'.❞

❝I hope the tendency to belittle individuality or a person's unique way of expression will change. I think how people do their hair or what they wear is up to a person's tastes. Hair and clothes? Aren't the things totally unrelated to what a person actually needs to philosophize over?❞

❝Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday's me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that's me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.❞
