“To say ‘if you say it, then you’ll understand’ is being arrogant. It’s the self-satisfaction of the person in question who said it, the conceit of the one who was told it… There’s a lot going on and it’s not always the case that you’d understand each other from talking it over. That’s why words aren’t what I want.”
― Wataru Watari

“A parent's love for a child isn't a duty to be fulfilled, it's a feeling, and you shouldn't get married or have children if you aren't capable of feeling it.”
― NisiOisiN, 猫物語 (白) [Nekomonogatari]

“The grapes that my hands wouldn’t reach were undoubtedly sour.
But I didn’t need sweet fruits that were like a lie. I didn’t need things like a fake understanding and a deceptive relationship.
What I wanted was that sour grape.
Even if it’s sour, even if it’s bitter, even if it’s disgusting, even if it’s full of poison, even if it didn’t exist, even if I couldn’t lay my hands on it, even if I wasn’t allowed to wish for it.”
― Wataru Watari

“To cherish someone means to have the resolve to hurt then”
