"I think everything in this world is beau…" — Momoka Oginome Quote

"It's no use. It's akin to love. Akin to the first kiss. It only works once."

— Himari Takakura · Mawaru Penguindrum

"What do you think of the word "fate"? Does the concept of fate exists in reality? To put it simply, are people's futures set in stone when they are born, never to be challenged? Do you believe in such a rule?"

— Sanetoshi Watase · Mawaru Penguindrum

"I hate the word "fate." Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that's all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn't amount to anything..."

— Takakura Shouma · Mawaru Penguindrum

"As it turns out, living was a punishment."

— Himari Takakura · Mawaru Penguindrum

"That's when I realized! That I had become a child who would be found. So I broke into tears of happiness. No matter how far we're separated, you two would definitely find me. It's nice knowing someone will find you."

— Himari Takakura · Mawaru Penguindrum

"Yuri, I finally understand why you and I were the only ones left in this world. You and I were already lost children, but most children in the world are the same as us. That's why, even once was enough: We both needed someone to tell us "I love you"."
