"Even the hardest of things can shatter w…" — Sachi Nanjou Quote

"Such shallow emotions evoked by simple and cheerful stories won't solve anything! What people need is a more tangible sense of values with which to resolve the conflicts of everyday life!

"People change. And as the years go by, so do our environments. I think it’s alright for there not to be a "proper" way of living.

— Harumi Shuntarou · Oyasumi Punpun

"I wonder why it is, that people fall in love with others? I think that to seek out love even when you already have a nice family is being greedy. No matter how much you like another person, you can never be with that person forever... But I dislike that. I don't care if I have to throw away everything else. I just want you to look at me."

— Aiko Tanaka · Oyasumi Punpun

"Although Punpun didn’t really want to think about what the point of having dreams that could never come true was… To have dreams and worries that you could talk frankly about… In a way, that was probably a more fulfilling lifestyle than his own, Punpun admitted. Being cool was merely a paper-thin difference away from being empty."
