"One can evoke "extraordinary" abilities …" — Shindo Iroha Quote

"I believe that love is much deeper than that. It’s much more irreversible. It exceeds just caring for each other and continues until both parties become entangled and inseparable. They combine to form a single concept. They become one. Neither of them must come apart. THAT’S LOVE."

— Hoshino Kazuki · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

"Giving people what they want only results in temporary delight, and that you can only make a select few people happy that way."

— Otonashi Aya · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

"No matter what you do, no matter where you go, you can't get away from your nature."

— Oomine Daiya · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

""Because I won’t die if I miss." I can totally understand the words of that slugger. We won’t die just because our dreams and efforts prove futile, nor do we need to despair. We both faced much greater despair, so we aren’t afraid of the obstacles that lie before us. We can easily bet on a coin flip while others are too frightened to even pick heads or tails."

— Usui Haruaki · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

"There’s no despair that can’t be overcome by everyday life."

— Otonashi Maria · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

"Cry when you’re sad. Laugh when you’re happy. Get angry when you don’t like something. Depend on someone when you’re depressed. Care for yourself before you care for others. Don’t hate anyone. Be proud of yourself. Stay loyal when you fall in love."

— Otonashi Maria · Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria
