[On first seeing Kyo] The ceiling... Is he hurt...? Wh-who... Well, hello, orange-head... Honda Tohru More Quotes by Honda Tohru More Quotes From Honda Tohru No one really starts out kind. All we know how to do at first is want. We want food, we want attention... It's just natural survival instinct, I guess... But kindness is something that we all have to learn as we go. It's something that grows and develops slowly over time... The same way our bodies do... Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime We’re searching for a reason of existence. With our own strength, because maybe the truth is that there’s no reason for life from the very beginning. Everyone hopes and tries so hard to find a reason of existence. The reason of birth, of staying with someone, of existence, believing we have to find them all with our own hands. Like finding a place for ourselves in dreams, in jobs, in people. The reasons we conclude may be indefinite and fragile. We may lose it too, but even so, we want a reason. As long as I’m alive, I want it too. If possible, I want to find a reason of existence within a person, within someone. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime I don't think anyone is born with a reason to live. It's something you have to find for yourself. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime Sometimes living can be hard! But it's only because we're alive that we can make each other laugh, cry, and be happy! Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime The scariest and the most painful thing is to be hated by someone you truly love. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime I don't think anyone is born knowing the reason why they're here. It's just something you have to find as you go along. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime A conscience grows, just like the body. It's bred within your heart. That's why the shape of people's kindness is so different. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime ...As they played the game...I waited for someone to call "onigiri". But no one called. I was very little then. I had almost forgotten about that. But they knew...there would never be room for an onigiri...in a fruits basket. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [To Kyo] Being away from everyone else may be lonely, but being away from you will be even lonelier. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime It's not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it's there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe...sometimes that's all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime My mom told me, it's better to trust people than to doubt them. She said that people aren't born with kind hearts. When we're born, all we have are desires for food and material things. Selfish instincts, I guess. But she said that kindness is something that grows inside of each person's body, but it's up to us to nurture that kindness in our hearts. That's why kindness is different for every person. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime Mom taught me that people's differences are something to celebrate. When I thought of all the different shapes of human kindness -- imagining them as round or square...I got really excited. Your kindness is like a candle Sohma-kun. I can feel it light up, and I just want to smile. It's that kind of kindness.

Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime As long as you live things will keep happening! As long as you're alive wishes will keep being made! Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [To Ritsu Sohma] Sometimes living can be hard, but it's only because we're alive that we can make each other laugh, cry...be happy! [thinking] If that's not the reason for being born in this world...I don't know what is! Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [in her head] My happiness comes from the kindness of those around me. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [To Ritsu Sohma] I'm sure that inside your heart...you're trying with all your might to find it on your own...the reason you were born. Because...because really...there might not be anyone who was born with a reason. I think that everyone might have to find one on their own. [in her head] A reason for being born... A reason that it's okay to be alive... A reason to exist. [aloud] I think everyone might have to find it themselves...and decide for themselves. It could be your dreams...your job...or a person. ...The reason you're looking for...might be vague, unclear...and uncertain. [in her head] And you might lose it. [aloud] But as long as you're alive...you have to keep searching for that reason. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [To Kyo Sohma]If you think of someone's good qualities as the umeboshi in an onigiri, it's as if their qualities are stuck to their back! People around the world are like onigiri. Everyone has an umeboshi with a different shape and color and flavor. But because it's stuck on their back, they might not be able to see their umeboshi. "There's nothing special about me. I'm just white rice." [in her head] That's not true. There is an umeboshi -- on your back. [aloud] Maybe the reason people get jealous of each other, is because they can see so clearly the umeboshi on other people's backs. I can see them, too. I can see them perfectly. There's an amazing umeboshi on your back, Kyo-kun. Honda Tohru anime-quotesfruits-basketanime [After Hatori asks what snow becomes when it melts]Ah...um, well...hmm. It becomes spring!
