“People are only interested in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen…a great and lasting story is about everyone or it will not last. The strange and foreign is not interesting—only the deeply personal and familiar.”

“Trying to not hurt others is something you can't do. People are creatures who hurt others just by existing even if they're not aware of it. Whether you're living or dying. you'll always be hurting someone. Once you're involved, you'll hurt someone, and even by not being involved, you might be hurting someone else as well...”

“Everyone is a slave to their past. No matter how much you wish to move forward, the events of last year will bear down on you like the light of the stars as soon as you glance up. Unable to laugh or to banish your past, you carry it ceaselessly in a corner of your heart, waiting for it to resurrect at an inopportune moment.”
― Hikigaya Hachiman

“When people already have an impression of you, it's not easy to change your pre-existing relationships by adding something to the mix. When people evaluate each other, it's not an addition or subtraction formula. They only perceive you through their preconceived notions. The truth is that people don't see you as you truly are. They only see what they want to see, the reality that they yearn for.”
