Thank you so much!
"We can only understand ourselves through being with others."
— Riki Naoe (Little Busters)
Beautiful."If I’m admiring, I can’t surpass."
— Ryouta Kise (Kuroko no Basket)
So true."You can find an another way to live. Even if you despair in losing one way. You’ll find something else to do."
— Kengo Miyazawa (Little Busters)
Yes. So much yes."Life is a game where if one person becomes happy, another becomes unhappy. Everyone thinks that they're the most unhappy. And everyone who thinks they're unhappy thinks everyone else is happy."
— Kanata Futaki (Little Busters)But that's wrong! I'm going to amend this one a little. Kanata shouldn't think this way; it's too sad.
"The opposite of love isn't hate, but rather, apathy."
— Masuzu Natsukawa (Oreshura)
Good one! -
"Don't believe in you. Believe in the me who believes in you"
and "Don't believe in you. Nor the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in you"
Kamina, Gurren Lagann
LOL. Your IRC quote reminds me of Keima Katsuragi. I'm using the Kamina quote. The last one is good, just a bit depressing for me. haha. Thanks!
Only quotes from visual novels? not anime too?
"It's hard to continue believing you're right when everyone around you disagrees. It's far easier to change your mind, and decide that you were the only one in the wrong. Sometimes... it's easier to accept then it is to fight it. It hurts a lot less to accept people's misunderstandings than it does to try and fight it."
— Kotarou Tennouji (Rewrite)
"When you're a brat, running fast is enough to make you popular. When you're a middle-schooler, the guys who can fight will be popular, and after that it's the guys with brains who get the girls."
— Yuuji Kazami (Grisaia no Kajitsu)
Nah, anime is fine. Funny, I had that Rewrite quote saved on my computer, but then I deleted it. The second one is a real eye-opener. Michiru's quote is quite sad. That last quote is win. Thanks!

One’s enemy is another’s ally. One’s wickedness is another’s virtue. The moment a sword takes a life, it slays both evil and good at the very same time, without fail.
-Minato Kageaki, Soukou Akki Muramasa
That's a good one. By school-appropriate, I mean just not stupid sexual ones. Thanks!
"I would have fallen in love with anyone if I was dependent on them. And you would have fallen in love with anyone if they protected you."
Mirai Nikki, Yuno
Quite a cynical view on love, haha. It doesn't work well as a stand-alone, but thanks.
――毒から快楽を作り出すのは人間だけだ――
"Humans are the only ones that make pleasure from poison."
~ Minami Mutsuki from Devils Devel Concept
Sadly, this is true. Thanks!
An old japanese saying: "If true love exists, Smallpox scars are as pretty as dimples."
LOL. Thanks!
「ウソっていうのは、相手を欺いて、陥れるための方便のコトを言うんだ」
A lie is an instrument meant to trap and deceive another.
「相手が不快に思わないんなら、それはウソとして成立してない」
If that other person doesn't find it unpleasant, then it isn't a lie.
~Shigure Sora, Devils Devel Concept
Really strange. I don't agree with it, but I like its twisted view. Thanks!
I know a few,but not from VN's:
"Happiness creeps into you so quietly that you don't notice, but misfortune arrives very abruptly" -(Fumiya Takemura, Adrift in Tokyo)
"I can’t promise you when good things will come to your life, but i do know that no one but you has the power to give meaning to your life in this world" -(Rin Asogi, Rin ~Daughters of Mnemosyne~)
"Back when i was still a little boy, one day, while i was riding that blue bicycle that i always used to ride, i thought to myself... how far could i ride without looking back? i'm not exactly sure what i was trying to prove by doing that, but then.. i realized. What i was trying to prove that day is how important the people i was leaving behind were" -(Yūta Takemoto, Honey and clover)
and here are some from one of my fav video game character; Solid Snake:
"We can tell other people about - having faith. What we had faith in. What we found important enough to fight for. It's not whether you were right or wrong, but how much faith you were willing to have, that decides the future."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing."
I love all of these. Thank you!

"The person I've fallen in love with just happened to be a little girl!"
- Kogasaka You (Hoshizora no Memoria)
"Little girls should not be left alone and should be loved. Because otherwise they might get scared"
- Steve, the loli protector
Thank you for your contribution, ahaha.
When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.
~Dr. Hiruluk (One Piece)
Wow, this one is awesome! Thanks!

Wow, thanks, everyone! I hope to hear more as time goes on.
Games are games. Reality is reality. Those who try to link them together are the ones who can't tell the difference.
--Keima Katsuragi, The World God Only Knows
He who fights monsters should take care that he himself does not become a monster. Gaze too long into the Abyss...and the Abyss gazes into you.
--Friedrich Nietzsche, also Baldur's Gate
Yes, I like these a lot. I was also confused by Keima's quote until you clarified it. Thanks!
"Life was not born to give up."
- Kagari, Rewrite.
Since I've read Rewrite, I know what this really means, but it's so powerful as a stand-alone as well. Thanks!
That's kind of hard... most of the best quotes I can think of compose at least three lines, usually a statement, followed by a question, followed by an answer. Most of the best VN philosophy is the writer speaking through the characters, using the conversation to make the argument.
Post them anyways. I'm interested to hear them regardless. If the format is indeed the way you say it is, then I think it'll work.
"In this world, reality is what the vast majority of people say it is. I simply had the misfortune to step outside of that box."
-Fuminori Sakisaka, Saya no Uta
That's such an understatement. Haha. Thanks!
残り物には福がある。 (Nokorimono ni wa fuku ga aru) Literally: Luck exists in the leftovers.
This means: There is luck in the last helping.
I rather like that saying. Thanks!

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 beschool-appropriateLOL 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!
