“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?”
Kafka Asagiri, 文豪ストレイドッグス 18 [Bungō Stray Dogs 18]

“Emotions are at the very center of our existence, but they aren't the center of the world. There's nothing at the center of the world. So don't let your emotions control you, Akutagawa. Do not pursue the beast within you. Stand on your own two feet, rely only on yourself, and be as cold and tough as you can. You won't be able to survive in this world otherwise.”
Kafka Asagiri, 文豪ストレイドッグス BEAST

Sylvia Plath
“Then he would lean back in his chair and match the tips of his fingers together in a little steeple and tell me why I couldn't sleep and why I couldn't read and why I couldn't eat and why everything everyone did seem so silly, because they only died in the end.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
