Use this thread to share your favourite quotes from Clannad, and help make this thread the definitive collection of Clannad quotes! You can post screenshots or text. Only rule is to avoid catch phrases like “Uguu~”; they’ll be considered spam and you’ll be punished. As a guideline, try to keep the thread in a healthy balance of funny and serious quotes, without drifting too far in one direction. If you come up with a really good quote, I might even include it on the Clannad information page on the main site! What I’m looking for is a quote that’s not necessarily a tagline, not necessarily one everyone remembers, but tells some kind of powerful message, and introduces the story in a nice way. Let’s get started.
Anything from the series can be posted without spoiler tags. Since we will be posting direct quotations of dialogue stated in the series, please note that there can and will be spoilers in this topic.

Even so, can you still like this place?”

“A child’s dream is their parents’ dream! So, you can make it come true for us! Our dream is to watch you live out your dream! We didn’t give up our dreams. We just made your dream into ours! That’s what parents are. That’s what family is!” -Akio Furukawa
“I hate this town. It’s too filled with memories I’d rather forget. I go to school every day, hang out with my friends, and then I go home. There’s no place I’d rather not go ever again. I wonder if anything will ever change? Will that day ever come?”

Is Sunohara’s name in Japanese just so it can fit in the box? At least everyone can see how he’s name looks like in Japanese now…
And also a quote (Which I don’t have a screenshoot of)
Yomoya: “She’s good at atheletics. I know that much.”
Sunohara: “Yeah, I will admit that her boobs are big.”
