"Because of our broken instincts, we are in pain. We continue living in pain, because our instincts have been twisted by reason. So, what are we supposed to do? Should we abandon knowledge? Throw away reason? In any event, that wouldn't be possible. For better or for worse, we ate the fruit of knowledge long, long ago."

"A drama has a progressive thought, an emotional climax and a resolution, but our lives aren't like that. All we get day after day, are a bunch of vague anxieties that are never really resolved."
— Kaoru Yamazaki · Welcome to the N.H.K
"No human beings, regardless of who they might be, want to look directly at their own shortcomings."
— Satou Tatsuhiro · Welcome to the N.H.K
"If you don't see her, you won't fall in love. If you don't fall in love, you won't get hurt."
— Satou Tatsuhiro · Welcome to the N.H.K
"People in reality spout off all in unison about love and friendship but in fact it's a dirty little world full of lies and desires, isn't it?"
— Satou Tatsuhiro · Welcome to the N.H.K
"People like us aren't qualified to be involved in a dramatic incident such as a suicide. No matter how depressed you are or how much pain you're in, you have to return to your routine, daily life. Even if you don't come back, you'll just end up dying in vain. A dramatic death isn't befitting of us."
— Kaoru Yamazaki · Welcome to the N.H.K
"It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation."
— Satou Tatsuhiro · Welcome to the N.H.K
