“There is nothing that is strange in this world, Sekiguchi”

“Why do you think I'm reading this? But you know—though maybe you have different standards for what constitutes 'interesting' than I do—there's no such thing in this world as an uninteresting book. Any book is interesting; and not just when it's new. Even books you've already read can be quite fascinating. It just takes a little more effort to get there, that's all.”

“There are those who merely dabble in withering looks, but Kyogokudo was a widely recognized master of the art. He favored me with one now.”

“I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?”

“There's this saying: in an all-blue world, colour doesn't exist... If something seems strange, you question it; but if the outside world is too distant to use as a comparison then nothing seems strange.”

“You're a strange, strange girl in a strange strange world.”

“There is much that is strange, but nothing that surpasses man in strangeness”
