“Making friends would lower my intensity as a human[...]In other words, if I had friends, I’d have to start worrying about them, right? If my friends were hurt, I’d feel hurt too, and if they felt sad, I’d feel sad too. You end up with more weak points, so to speak. I think that’s the same as becoming weaker as a person.”
― NisiOisiN, Kizumonogatari

“The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.”
― Deishuu Kaiki

“Do ye mean to say that humans do not kill one another? Listen, as far as I know, no species animal exists that does not kill its own kind. No, even among plants, trees rob on another of nutrients.”

“Having wounded each other, the two of us licked each other's wounds.
Damaged goods both, we sought out each other.
"If you want to die tomorrow, I'm ready for my life to end tomorrow - if you care to live for today, then so will I," I vowed out loud.
Thus begins the tale of the wounded ones.
A tale of blood that splattered red and dried up black.
The tale of our never-to-heal, precious wound.
I will tell it to no one.”
