"What do you think of the word "fate"? Do…" — Sanetoshi Watase Quote

"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"."

— Keiju Tabuki · Mawaru Penguindrum

"In the human world, truth and reality aren't always one and the same. Humans just call their desires and ambitions as "truth". Humans will even kill other humans if they have "truth" as an excuse."

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

— Himari Takakura · Mawaru Penguindrum

"None of you will ever escape the curse, as I could not. Residents of the boxes like you could never gain anything. You will all simply disappear without leaving anything behind in this world. You won't even leave a fleck of dust behind - you will never be happy!"

— Sanetoshi Watase · Mawaru Penguindrum

"Why are people born? If people are born only to suffer the hard life, is it meant as some kind of punishment? Or a cynical joke? If that's the case, animals that adhere to the survival strategies programmed in their DNA are far more elegant and simple. If there really is an existence worthy of being called a God, I want to ask him just one thing: Is there really fate in the universe? If a man ignored fate, and ignored his instincts and DNA to love someone else... Dear God, is he really human? Just wondering. I hate the word "fate"."

"Listen up, you lowlifes who will never amount to anything!"
