“To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know because I've done it a thousand times.”

“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.”

“I do not know whether it ought to be so, but certain silly things cease to be silly if done by sensible people in an imprudent way.”

“I wish I could take back the horrible things I've done to people. I wish I could go back in time and make things right, because even though I've been trying to, I might be making everything worse.”

“I think about all of the things I've done, Oskar. And all of the things I didn't do. The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did.”

“God knows I'm not perfect, either. I've made tons of stupid mistakes, and later I regretted them. And I've done it over and over again, thousands of times; a cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every time I learned something about myself-Misato Katsuragi”
