"[referring to Tohru] If anyone can find …" — Sohma Kyo Quote

"A mystery... (Haru says this a lot, usually when it's not a mystery at all)"

"A conscience grows, just like the body. It's bred within your heart. That's why the shape of people's kindness is so different."

"People aren't born social. Sure it comes easier to some people... but most people, like you, need to work at it. Some more than others. You're just inexperienced. For example, as a martial artist, you have the strength to break the table with your fist. But you also have the self-control to stop your fist right before it hits the table. You weren't born with that control, were you? You had to refine it. It's the same as interacting with people. But training for that isn't in the mountains - it has to be in town where people live. Mingling with people, hurting them, getting hurt by them. That's how you learn about people and about yourself. If you don't, you'll never care about anyone but yourself. You may be a black belt fighter, but you're still a white belt in dealing with people. For the sake of the girl who will one day tell you she loves you... Don't turn away. Keep training."

"(to Kyo) oh, shut up. shut up! shut up! AAHHH!! AAHHH!!"

"We’re searching for a reason of existence. With our own strength, because maybe the truth is that there’s no reason for life from the very beginning. Everyone hopes and tries so hard to find a reason of existence. The reason of birth, of staying with someone, of existence, believing we have to find them all with our own hands. Like finding a place for ourselves in dreams, in jobs, in people. The reasons we conclude may be indefinite and fragile. We may lose it too, but even so, we want a reason. As long as I’m alive, I want it too. If possible, I want to find a reason of existence within a person, within someone."

"[to Kyo after they trip] What can I learn from a stupid cat like you? You didn't even know that Jason isn't really a bear! He's a character from a horror film!"
