“When you’re given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn’t give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that.”

“You can be sorry about something and not regret it,”

“How does she know just how much to give and just how much of herself to withhold?”

“If I want things to change, I have to change how I do things.”

“I have been shocked that someone was interested in speaking with me. I need to work on my confidence.”

“Life takes on various flavors as it flows.”

“I pass by those flowers to see Gon. Not for any particular reason or because I have something to say to him. Just because. Just to see a friend. A good friend of mine whom everyone called a monster.”

“At last, I became a human. And at that very moment, the world was drifting far away from me”

“Most people could feel but didn’t act. They said they sympathized, but easily forgot.”

“Do you think I could make others understand me, even though I can’t understand myself?”

“From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often. People spoke of love so casually, just to mean the slightest pleasure or thanks.”

“But her voice that once filled my ears was starting to fade. Soon I might forget her voice entirely. Everything I had known was beginning to fade away from me.”

“People said there was no way to understand Gon. I didn’t agree with them. It’s just that nobody ever tried to see through him.”

“It’s not always great when you understand emotions that you were once unaware of. Emotions are tricky business. You’ll suddenly see the world in a completely new light. Every little thing around you might feel like sharp weapons. A subtle expression or a few words could sting you. Think of a rock on the street. It doesn’t feel anything, and it never gets hurt either. A rock has no idea when people are kicking it. But imagine if it felt how many times it got kicked, stomped on, rolled, and worn down every day, how would it cope?”

“Strangely enough, I don’t feel like looking at those old magazines anymore. It’s no fun. It reminds me of how everything beautiful will fade eventually.”

“I try to stay away from judging people easily. Everyone is different. Even more so at your age.”
