"If wishes could be granted, if desires c…" — Hachiman Hikigaya Quote

"People's thoughts don't always mirror how they feel. That's why they sometimes make decisions that seem nonsensical."

"There are people who can't act unless they're faced with a problem. Unless they find their reason. All I was left with was the sinking suspicion that I'd gone horribly wrong."

"Even if we know each other, understanding each other is another matter."

""True to herself", "True to myself". We all have our own personal image that's dictated by others, one that's always off the mark. We wish to remain true to ourselves, but who gets to decide who we are as people? When our image never goes hand-in-hand with reality, where can we find something genuine? Where can we find our true selves?"

"Your impression of people is renewed every day. As you spend time with them and grow with them, you come to understand more."

"Expecting others to read your mind is delusional. But... But... I... I..."It's not empty words I'm after. There was something else I desired all along. Not mutual understanding, friendship, companionship, or anything of the sort. I don't care about being understood. I simply wish to understand. Understand, know, and rest easy in that knowledge-- gain some peace of mind. Wanting to know people inside-out because being in the dark terrifies me is an awfully self-indulgement, egoistic, and arrogant wish. It's downright despicable and disgusting. Having a desire like that makes me sick to the stomach! But if it's at all possible to share that desire-- if it's possible to have a relationship where you're free to burden one another with that repulsive self-gratification...I know that it's out of the question! I know that it's out of my reach! Even so!" Even so, I... I want something genuine."
