1 " Un amor creado solo para que dos personas se curen las heridas mutuamente, es horroroso. "
― Inio Asano , Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, Vol. 3
2 " “¿Crees que todos pueden llegar a ser felices? La felicidad de una persona es el sufrimiento de otra, ¿sabes? No importa la buena voluntad que tengas, terminaras hiriendo a alguien sin saberlo, ¿crees que tienes la suficiente fuerza y coraje para soportar la carga del mundo? Oh Punpun, serás cobarde. ¿Sabes cual es la mejor forma de evitar que alguien te hiera? Matarles antes de que suceda.” "
3 " People are free. Well, they can't fly on their own . . . but pretty much whatever they can think up, they can make happen. When they're sleepy, they can sleep. They're free to start or quit whatever they're doing whenever they want. And the only reason they don't is because things like social norms, laws, traditions and sentiment get in the way. Running naked through the streets . . . conning old people . . . killing . . . everything’s possible if you ignore morality. That's why they insist on teaching you cooperation and ethics when you're young- But the world is set up to force people to fight, cheat and steal as a default. Trying to live with that contradiction is torture. But in so many places happiness and sorrow are traded like stocks on wall street. What will it take for everyone to be happy? Who knows? But if a kid could figure it out, war would've gone extinct long time ago. I'd hate to trust the entire thing to politicians. They're just old men who have to dance to public opinion. The world is the embodiment of human nature exposed . . . There's no way for everyone to be happy. Happiness is relative anyway . . . and people want it that way. Evil is relative too. In order to protect her, a mother can turn into a demon. And it gets held up as inspirational. People go to war to protect kin and country. It's the same thing. Even if you pretend to be good fundamentally everyone has some negative aspects. It's amazing that no one knows that. Why? People have become so adept at excuses and shifting the blame . . . that they never even consider the possibility that they're culpable for their own problems. "
4 " I'm not a philosopher . . . but I think what a sinner really needs isn't punishment. It's to understand the pain of being forgiven. "
5 " You don't have to repay kindness immediately. You can pay it back slowly. "
6 " You create a God to cling to, and then heap all your fears and responsibilities onto him... and somehow you survive. - Masumi Seki "
