“People can have lovers. They can have friends. They can be together. But when you think about it, you’ll see that originally, we’re alone.” – Nana Osaki

“Don’t just give up. Life is about getting knocked down over and over, but still getting up each time. If you keep getting up, you win.” – Nana Osaki

“You know, Nana… Even now, sometimes on street corners… when I meet someone, I see your shadow. I’m sure that even now, you’re still wearing that man’s cologne… so you can sleep, even alone.” – Nana Osaki

“I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn’t so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward.” – Nana Osaki

“You know Hachi, your life depends only on yourself. I’m still convinced about this…but I’ve also learned to accept that people don’t all become as strong, and it has made me kinder than before.” – Nana Osaki

“People say that if you fight, it means you’re close to someone; but in the end, a fight is just a collision of egos. People don’t learn to understand each other just by laying bare their feelings.” – Nana Osaki

Takumi Ichinose Quotes

“People say love can be developed, but in the end the only person they love is themselves, that’s why you choose to love someone who can please you the most.” – Takumi Ichinose

Shinichi Okazaki Quotes

Nana Komatsu Quotes

“Even though it’s painful sometimes, if you keep on living then good things can happen.” – Nana Komatsu

“Often times, people say that only the closest of friends fight. But, really, fighting is just a conflict between two individuals. After all, humans cannot understand each others solely by telling the truth. It’s impossible to stay away from being hurt for a life time. But, try your best not to hurt those around you. I really think that’s how it should be.” – Nana Komatsu

“Back then I was desperately seeking to be strongly tied to someone, with a knot that would never come undone. But people can’t just be tied together, they have to connect. Otherwise they’ll find themselves bound hand and foot.” – Nana Komatsu

“Why is it that making our dreams come true, and being truly happy are often two separate things?.. I still haven’t figured that one out.” – Nana Komatsu

“Nobu is idealizing me, that’s why he fell in love with me.” – Nana Komatsu

“Hey Nana, if Cinderella’s glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way? I can’t help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince’s affections. No matter what I do, I’ll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show.” – Nana Komatsu

Yasushi Takagi Quotes

Shoji Endo Quotes

“What am I to you anyway? You get all teary eyed whenever it suits you but you never stop to think about my feelings and how you might be messing with my heart. You want some nice guy to be a part of your life but only if it’s on your terms. All this talk of just being friends with a guy… don’t make me laugh!” – Shoji Endo

Junko Saotome Quotes

Nobuo Terashima Quotes

“When you fall in love with someone, you want everything from them. Its only natural to feel that way… but real love can only happen when you want what’s best for the other person and never ask for anything in return.” – Nobuo Terashima

Sachiko Kawamura Quotes

“We are all farsighted, we give importance to those things that are far from us, while neglecting the things that are close to us… only to realize their value later, when they are out-of-reach again.” – Sachiko Kawamura
