Quotations

Let me ask you the reverse. How is it that you can give up so easily? [exaggerated sigh] I can't understand that...attitude! "It's bad luck! I have no choice!" People who passively accept their fate...because no one knows their future, least of all me, so I don't dare put things off. I have to do what I can, while I can still do it, so...I'll be kicking and screaming, 'til the very end.

Good, because only those who believe will be saved, so they say. Get it? Ha ha ha!

When you're having fun, have fun, and when you're angry, act angry...and when you want to cry your eyes out, do it! Because after you've cried, you feel better.

When you keep your problems to yourself, and force yourself to smile, the person it's hardest on is you.

[to Chrono] It's because my time is limited, that I don't have any doubts. It's all thanks to this. That's why I can walk straight ahead, it's why I can always keep going...because I have you with me.

STOP PLAYING WITH OUR HEARTS!

Oh, applesauce! You've wrecked another jalopy. Sister Kate is going to KILL us!

[to Rosette] I want...to change things. I want to believe that anything can be changed. The moment I met you, a new world opened up for me. You see, after wandering in the darkness for so long, a light brought me happiness. It's all thanks to you.

I want to protect Rosette...so much, that it covers your part of my heart.

Now I understand that we have to be incomplete.
