“The daylight had dawned upon the glades of the oak forest. The green boughs glittered with all their pearls of dew.”
― Sir Walter Scott, Ivanhoe

“It's not an adventure 'til something goes wrong. You can only be brave when you're scared. Through Four Gates and Five Worlds by watch or by song, Your journey is meant to be shared. Adventures are wasted on those who don't learn. Adventures must come to their ends. But there's always another one 'round the next curve. And in Traveler's Rest, you'll find friends. So, cheer up, young traveler, Adventure awaits! The timepiece has chosen you to roam. And no matter the time or where you go next At six thirty, you'll always come home.”
― Nick Goss, The Timepiece: Book 1 of The Traveler's League

“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

“A moment of peril is often also a moment of kindness and affection. We are thrown off our guard by the general agitation of our feelings, and betray the intensity of those, which at more tranquil periods, our prudence at least conceals, if it cannot altogether suppress them.”
― Sir Walter Scott
