Rimbaud:
“Enough seen. The vision was encountered under all skies. Enough had. Sounds of cities, evening, and in the light, and always. Enough known. The decisions of life.” - Arthur Rimbaud, “Departure”

Fitzgerald:
“You see I usually find myself among strangers because I drift here and there trying to forget the sad things that happened to me.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby”
Louisa:
“I want to do something splendid…something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I don’t know what, but I’m on the watch for it and mean to astonish you all someday.”
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
- Louisa May Alcott, “Little Women”
John:
“Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic?…. Maybe you’re playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience.” - John Steinbeck, “East of Eden”
Lovecraft:
“No new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.” - H.P. Lovecraft, “Ex Oblivione”
Margaret:
“Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.”
- Margaret Mitchell
Mark:
“Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it – namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.” - Mark Twain, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”
Nathaniel:
“I have laughed, in bitterness and agony of heart, at the contrast between what I seem and what I am!” - Nathaniel Hawthorne, “The Scarlet Letter”

“Tears fall in my heart As tears fall on the town.”
- Paul Verlaine “The Sky Above the Roof”
Ayatsuji:
“Death is not friendly. It’s dark, black where you look at it. You’re all alone. But it’s no different when you’re alive, right? No matter how many relationships we seem to have, we’re all alone.” - Ayatsuji Yukito, “Another”
Natsume:
“Whatever happens, I for my part will have done what has to be done to make an unjust society just, and if it does not learn the lesson, whose fault is that?” - Natsume Sōseki, “The 210th Day”
Kyusaku:
“As I crawled deeper and deeper into the grove, I began to understand the place I was in. Perhaps I could see more clearly because I had grown used to my fear...” - Yumeno Kyūsaku, “Love after Death”
Shibuzawa:
