I have a quote assignment that requires 50 quotes per semester and I want some visual novel/Japanese creative influence in my quote book. Can you guys help me out? I'm done with this assignment, but this thread is still open because it's fun to read. Please tell me any quotes that you like from the visual novels that you've read. The quote should follow these conditions:
1. It can be understood without context of the situation.
2. It should preferably be said/thought in one dialogue box. It can be a short conversation between two characters as long as you trim excess info with ellipses.
3. It can't be just a joke. It should have meaning, almost profoundness. Not the kind of stuff that can be found at the bottom of vndb. It doesn't have to be something 2deep4u, but as long as it's meaningful. Jokes are fine, but I'm thinking more along the lines of witticisms.
4. It must be school-appropriate LOL not anymore!
For example, "'The reason why people write novels and read them is to lament the fact that they can live their lives only once.'"
- Mio Nishizono, Little Busters! (Leo Kashida)
I'll be working on this all year and I'm eager to hear your suggestions. I obviously won't take all of the quotes, just the ones that strike home with me, but post away, even if you're not sure if exactly fits the guidelines. I'm mainly looking for ones from VNs, but if you have a quote from an anime/manga/light novel that is really good, by all means. I'm including those as well. And I promise that I'm not going to be like Kyousuke Natsume if you say something Masato-like.
Thanks again!
