"Trying to not hurt others is something you can’t do. People are creatures who hurt others just by existing even if they’re not aware of it.

"Youth is a hoax. It's evil. People who make a big deal of their "youth", are just inviting trouble. They try to keep everything going on around them. For them, if there's something that has to do with their "youth", they jump at it without a second thought. From normal daily life, to rebelling against the view of society. If you fall in with them - lies, secrets, failure, and even crimes await you. But for them, it's just a spice of life. And if failure is also a mark of "youth", then isn't it ironic, that a person who failed to make any friends, is also technically leading his "youth"? Though I wonder if they would agree. Everything runs on their schedule. Let me be clear. The people who enjoy their "youth", will eventually fall apart."

"There's probably no one who's more of a realist than the unpopular loner. I have lived my life with the Three Nevers of the Unpopular: Never to hold (hope), Never to open (your heart), and Never to treasure (sweet words)."

"If there are things you learn with friends, there must also be things you learn without friends. They must be of equal worth, two sides of the same coin."
