Fate. Such a small word for such a big thing.

I know you, probably more than anyone in this world. And… we don’t need goodbyes. You’re still here, right? You’ll exist forever… alongside heaven and earth. No matter where I am, no matter what I become, I will sing for you…

No matter what values you hold, sometimes you have to make trade-offs. That is to say, when it comes to bearing responsibility and fulfilling one’s duty, sometimes one must take priority over the other.

It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.

Did you ever forgive me?” “Did you want me to?” “...No.” “Oh… Well— That’s too bad.”

If over my grave some day thou seest grow, In the grassy sod, a humble flower. Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so

Life is a manifold tapestry of free entities, its value shouldn’t derive from how long it stays with us. Even a momentary burst is precious.

I'm not ready for this to end. I'm not ready for you to leave. I'm not ready to say goodbye to someone like you again…

If I am to be an ocean, you have nurtured me into a pond. My waters are shallow and murky, and I yearn for more perspective.

It’s alright if we forget everything that happened here as long as we can still create new memories. Let’s leave together.

When wine vessels are filled with blood, and when tender feelings are ripped asunder by cold ambition and reduced to dust on the wind, Gifts ungiven and bonds unspoken will become sharp blades with which to cleave erstwhile friends.

Hero… Please don't lie. Especially to yourself. Pretending that you're not hurt or that you don't need help— That kind of lie is very dangerous. You'll only ever be able to get rid of it by being honest about, and with, your feelings.

Dear Mr. or Ms., I’m scared of the uncertain future. These sunny afternoons are perhaps more frightening than a war-torn tomorrow.

I know you’re no more than memory fragments in my mind, but I’d never wish to forget. Without the past… There can be no future.

All you need to understand is that my best quality is that I’m a failure. I’m extremely good at it, you see… Because I’ve had so much practice. I fail repeatedly. Over and over and over again.

The hero succeeded in destroying the monster, the kingdom was saved: that was the ending of the story… The ending that I, and the story, chose. But what of those others who “tried and failed”? Do their “endings” not count?

Have you ever thought about a world where everything is the same… Except you don't exist? Everything functions perfectly without you. Ha, ha... The thought terrifies me.

And every one a tragedy: but how many were there? Who were those people? What were they like? In what way did they die? We do not know. We never know. The way I told it, the story doesn’t even care about them.

Loneliness is a fuel for the quiet and shamed Close my eyes, is it time? Stay away, stay away If I find God’s a lefty I can’t say how happy I’d be Maybe, there is a place for me, waiting to see

Love melted into skepticism, and you pulled back layer after layer after layer until all you were left with was the knowledge that you did not know me.

Then one day, a voice said to the light: “Why what an ungrateful world... You must be so unhappy.” The light asked what it meant. “You are not loved,” The voice replied.

It was a song about the grass beneath his feet and the sweet scent of flowers in his lungs. It was a song about war and ruin, and grief and loss, and the nightmares that still managed to take him by surprise even when he was awake, and living anyway.

You have no idea what “sacrifices are inevitable” means. The tragedy is not how many people have died… but how we’ve grown accustomed to the idea that people must die for others to live.

Compared to faint memories, having good friends by your side is really a wonderful thing… Even though they will eventually be gone too. People should never reject happiness in the present because of past suffering or disillusionment with the future.
