“Why do people write? Because inside a story, you can see those you want to any time.”
― Kafka Asagiri, 文豪ストレイドッグス 18 [Bungō Stray Dogs 18]

“This story is not for people who are good at living. In this world, there exist people who are so good at living that they do not need a "story" at all. They are the ones who think stories are, after all, just a pastime for your hobbies, that they are not necessary for life, and therefore it is a waste to spend money on such things. I did not assume such people to be my readers from the beginning. I cut them off. On the other hand, there are certainly people who need stories like oxygen still. I always hope that Bungo Stray Dogs will become the oxygen for such people. They are the "lost ones" that Dazai talked about.”
― Kafka Asagiri

“If that was life, the fated cost for living and breathing in this world, then this is vengeance... Revenge for having ever been born.”
― Kafka Asagiri, Bungo Stray Dogs: BEAST, Vol. 1

“Come on... Someone tell me. Is the common man not allowed to protect what he holds dear?”
