"Criticism of yourself as you're observed…" — Ushiromiya Ange Quote

"Skipping school for one day might not be a problem, but if you skip for three days in a row, it'd be really hard to convince yourself to go back."

"Slacking off' sounds bad. However, enjoying more of your day with the time you saved by doing your job in a clever way is definitely not a bad thing. Times like that are what makes a human's life rich. If you exaggerate, it could be called laziness, surely. However, people only become mature when they are able to balance work with enjoyment. In short, if all you care about is your job, you're not fully mature."

"You're nothing but a piece. Your absence wouldn't hinder my progress in this game in the slightest. If you can't think of any other theories in particular, please just go back to the piece tray and gather dust or something. It's painful to even remember useless pieces."

"Even if you have two of the exact same person, they could change enormously depending on their upbringing."

"For the first time, I felt honoured at being allowed to compete in this game of truth and error, and witches as a human... And ironically, that taught me that the truth is not necessarily only one when I believed that only one truth existed. By just broadening my field of vision a little, I can see a truth that is completely different. And no matter which one of the truths, if you can only see one of them, they will not be the right answer... Ah, in my life until now, I wonder how many truths have I turned away from because I was blinded by some trivial truth...? This is... the truth... of the world..."
