From MARS Volume 3 by Fuyumi Soryo: Kira: “Why do you go through all that just to race? I guess asking that is the same thing as asking why I draw….probably because I’m alive….that’s all there is to it. I sense colors in you. They’re strong and beautiful….and sad. I wondered what your colors were for a long time. They’re the colors of the sunset…the blazing shades of a sunset that burn just before the darkness sets in. You said it was nothing, but there’s no one as alive as you.

People seem weak, but they're strong. They seem strong, but they're weak.

It's honest to admit you'll kill someone because you hate them.

There's always someone who cares. Someone whose life would simply stop. You just don't know it yet, or you haven't found them yet.

People forget what they want to forget.

I'll protect you. I'll stand by you if anything happens.

For someone so violent, he has a gentle face, doesn't he?
