I never trust people with no appetite. It's like they're always holding something back on you.

Wasn't he the one who said you shouldn't trust anybody who calls himself an ordinar man? - Naoko

I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all.

I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.

Being alive, if you had to define it, meant emitting a variety of smells.

Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.
