"Fate is nothing more than a person's outlook on life."  

"No matter where I lived, my life would be the same. I'd be living the same mundane life and no one would be interested in me. I felt like if I lived like this for too long, I'd shrivel up and die. That's why I invented you. You, who I'll meet someday. To you at least I wouldn't be that ordinary, right?"  

"I'm not unhappy but I'm not happy either."   

"Try having a kid. You'll feel full without eating. Every day will be amazing. You'll be invincible. No one can beat you. No one can beat parents."   

"I think I feel a compulsion to live a productive day, but there's not much to show for it. I'm just constantly looking at my watch and being chased by time. As soon as I realised I've been living like that my whole life, weirdly, my heart suddenly started to pound."   

"Do not give advice. Do not try to comfort. Those are the rules of our club."   

"I may not be completely liberated from time, but resting when I've done enough, and waking up when I've slept enough, finding my own rhythm like that might be the liberation I need the most."   

"I think I've come far enough. This isn't the right path for me. I don't have to keep walking it."   

"Do I have to have a goal? Can't I just live my life without one?"  

"That's life. Just when you think it's going well. I've never even had one whole perfect day."
