Fruits Basket

"[to Kyo] You need to surround yourself with others. As you get to know them, of course you take the chance that you'll end up hurting them, or they'll end up hurting you. One of those things might very well happen. That's the only way we learn... about others, and about ourselves."

"[to Tohru] When you get anxious about the future, it is better not to think about it. The more you think about it the more anxious you'll get. Of course it's important to think about what lies ahead too, but if you only look at what's down the road, you'll get tangled by the laundry by your feet and fall, won't you? You see, it's also important to think about what you can do now. What you can do today, and if you wash things one at a time, you'll be done before you know it."

"Tohru's cute, in a sweet sort of way."

"Because of my objectives, no matter what the obstacle may be...no matter who I use...even if the result will hurt someone, it will be fine with me."

"[Singing] Kyo-kun's a stalker! Kyo-kun's a stalker!"

"But I think... I want to live with all my memories. Even if they're bad memories. Even if they're memories that only hurt me... that I'd rather forget. If I keep them and keep trying, without running away, then someday I'll be strong enough that those memories can't defeat me. I believe that because I want to think that there's no such thing as a memory that's ok to forget."

"Pain, suffering. It's pointless to just think about those things. The traveler didn't. That may be stupid to some people but that's not stupid to me. Yuki... Kyo... when you close your eyes, what do you think?"

"[After declaring he was leaving Akito's side] I've gained freedom...and yet... it's so lonesome..."

"[Repeated line] Wah, Kyo's picking on me!"

"Meeenie! Kyo turned it off, Kyo turned it off!"

"Kyo's got the hots, Kyo's got the hots!"

"NOW, SPARKLE, MY HOUSE OF LEARNING!"

"Strangely enough, when you get older, the things you didn't understand when you were a child... start to make sense. When this happened, I should have done that. When that happened, I should have said this. Those types of things. You start to understand rather than regret. It may be closer to repentance. So it may be that I do want to repent and erase the ignorant self from my childhood. Maybe that's what they mean when they say adults are selfish."

"You can't have "hito", the character that means person, without two lines supporting each other."

"And what happened next, you ask?! It became the day of Yuki's romantic fantasy when he saw Tohru-kun in her lovely dress! Oh no Tori-san! You just imagined Tohru-kun in her dress, didn't you? SHAMEFUL!"

"[to Yuki] As your older brother, I want you... TO SUBMIT TO ME!"

"[to Yuki] YOU CAN'T DIE YUKI! The evening sun we saw as we swore that we would die together even now still shines within my heart!"

"[to Shigure] No need to fear, Gure-San! Even if the entire world goes against you, I will forever be on your side!"

"Just as no matter how hard you try to keep it away... despair will attack you again and again. In the same manner hope will return to you. Again and again."

"Parents have no right to deprive their children of free will. But they do have a right to worry about them. Keep thinking about it. I don't mind if you take twice as long as other people... because I want to know the answer you give."

"You said before that you hate it here. Well, I don't believe thats true. You don't hate it... but you're afraid to face what you know you must. So instead... you run away. The air that you said was smothering... you know it can also heal you. But you refuse to let it. You refuse to let anyone see you for your true self. You're too afraid of what you might lose. You're running away because you're afraid to admit your feelings even to yourself."

"Please... even if I die surrounded by snow that never melts... please let her be happy."

"Someday... no matter how cold it is now... the snow will melt. Without fail."

"It's not the fun and games you think. It's bizarre... sinister... cursed."

"Often times in memory, we have the tendency to overly romanticize the people we care about."

"[thinking] I only take family as patients and I still get worked to death."

"It's true, crying unexpectedly does make you feel better. When you're an adult you forget that."

"I started crying. It was the first time in my life that I felt forgiven. Like I was saved. Like the frozen snow that's melted by spring, the tears wouldn't stop."

"One more word Shigure and the entire publishing industry will know every embarrassing thing you’ve done since you were four."

"[To Ayame about Yuki] He's just...he's still a child. There are still a lot of things he can't give up. There's no rush."

"[To Shigure and Ayame] It's over between Kana and me. We're not going to get back together. Even if we were together, I would only miss her..."

"[to Ayame] Please stop adding to my misery."

"[to Tohru] Tell me, when the snow melts, what does it become?"

"If it's possible for one person to be hurt by another, then it's possible for that same person to be healed by another."

"I want to be the only one... who can help the one I care about."

"[to Tohru] You're so gullible! Don't you have any standards? So if I told you to spin around, you'd do it? If they told you to jump off a cliff, would you do that, too? I can't stand people who have no individuality!"

"So, what are you saying? You mean if your wife wasn't controlling you, you wouldn't be a villain? You mean you've never thought it's just because you're incompetent? And what's that supposed to mean anyway?"

"[To Kyo] Since when did the Cat set the rules for this house? You mean to tell me that you contribute more to this house than anyone else? Do you pay all the bills? I can't stand people who do absolutely nothing but complain all the time! If all you have to contribute to this house is complaints, even a snot-nosed kid can do that!"

"[To Kyo] Go ahead, Big man! I'll have you charged for child-abuse!"

"A sixth sense cannot make up for a total lack of common sense."

"...If Tohru-chan were to die, I...I wonder if I'd be able to smile again one year later? Or if I'd wish that I could forget ever having met her. ...Tohru-chan... has tried really hard..."

"[To Tohru and Arisa] I do...want to be with you...I want to be with you...!"

"[To Kazuma] I...think that my performance today was a success because he played opposite me. Kyo-kun...Thank you."

"[to herself] I'm sensing another bathroom...upstairs."

"[To Shigure when he is in desperate need to use the bathroom that Hana is cleaning] Did you know, in many ways the flow of electrical waves through our bodies can be compared to the flow of water. Over 60% of the human body is made up of water. In other words, if you were to round up, people are water. Many people fail to realize this considering the body’s solid appearance. But nonetheless, on the inside, we are essentially a liquid. Water is continually flowing through us; it streams through our veins. It sustains all parts of our bodies: the head, the heart, the stomach, the kidneys, the bladder…"

"[to lackluster Prince Charming Kyo, holding Cinderella's slipper] Is that the kinda attitude you show to some one concerned about you?! What's gonna happen to the person who wants to see ya, huh?! Its obvious... Its obvious you wish to see each other... SO COME AND FREAKIN' SEE ME ALREADY!"

"This may have been a useless time for you... but i really wanted to see you!"

"HANAJIMA, MY SPEAR! GET ME MY SPEAR!"

"[To Kureno] Hmm... you can go anywhere you want? Cuz' I'll go... anywhere with you, y'know."

"Maybe I was lonely. Maybe I've just... always... been lonely."
