“The things that really shake the human soul aren't beauty or kindness. Although such things are certainly moving, but those feelings don't last long. But... anger or sadness are different. They leave an undelible mark. Even after the wound heals... you can never forget the pain completely.”
― Fuyumi Soryo, Mars, Vol. 5

“From MARS Volume 3 by Fuyumi Soryo:
Kira: “Why do you go through all that just to race? I guess asking that is the same thing as asking why I draw….probably because I’m alive….that’s all there is to it. I sense colors in you. They’re strong and beautiful….and sad. I wondered what your colors were for a long time. They’re the colors of the sunset…the blazing shades of a sunset that burn just before the darkness sets in. You said it was nothing, but there’s no one as alive as you.”
― Fuyumi Soryo (惣領 冬実), Mars, Vol. 3

“You all say the same thing. When something bad happens, everyone tells you to forget about it. But, I don't think you can forget that easily. You may be able to pretend you've forgotten, but I don't think anyone can completely forget.”
― Fuyumi Soryo (惣領 冬実)

“People seem weak, but they’re strong.
They seem strong, but they’re weak.
No matter how much you cry, you still have to sleep.
And you even get hungry.
You suddenly realize you’re doing the same things you did yesterday.
You say hi to your friends and smile just like you did yesterday.
Life goes on as if nothing ever happened…

I want to go somewhere…
Anywhere…
Somewhere where I can forget everything.
…where I’ll forget everything
…and be reborn.
Mars Volume 18”
