uhhh… are you sure that’s a Kanon quote?
Yep. It was the dub version of episode 3 of Kanon 2006. It played around the halfway mark, after Yuichi and Nayuki talk to Mai and Sayuri. Yuichi is walking in town and then Ayu runs to him and jumps on him,
Huh, how about that.

I am not really sure if it counts as a quote since it is more of a monologue.
" I liked the flowing scenery.
Winter , a city of fluttering snow. I loved running through the shopping district leaving behind new foot prints on side-walks.
Spring , a city of melting snow. I loved scooping up … scooping up the little piles of it that hadn’t melted yet underneath the trees.
Summer , a city that’s forgotten the cold of snow. I loved looking at the city when I would take long walks under the shade of my parasol.
Autumn , a city foretelling the arrival of snow. I loved watching the snowflakes drifting down from the clouds I would catch as many as I could in my hands.
And now it’s winter again, the season of snow. The season where the city and everything in it is covered in white.
How I loved the flowing scenery. But like a river frozen in it’s banks my time had stopped flowing. In this rectangular room , in a time that knows no seasons. I was always , always and forever alone. Over and over again I would see the same scenes in my dreams that I always did and I began to surrender to the never-ending night.
But slowly I feel the dawn is … breaking."

I don’t mean to spam but I just got the sudden urge to post more quotes.
This one always brought at least a tear to my eye no matter how many times I have seen the show even more so then some of the more hard hitting moments.
“Was I able to smile most of the time”

" … Youichi do you know about the trees in the north woods? Each one forms a clear new ring every single year. A ring for every cold winter they’ve had to endure. Those trees strong and healthy. The harsh conditions have made them that way, made them able to withstand anything. People are the same. By living through pain and suffering we become stronger… "

Every dream has an end…No matter how nice the dream might be, or how scary it is. Under your warm blanket, the dream comes to an abrupt end, when mother shakes you awake. Forever and ever, the morning scene remains the same. But now I…I wonder…when the dreams began to never end.

It’s the dub of a speech by that Ayu girl. Episode 4 of '06, right at the start. Here’s the version in the VN…

This works really good as a info page quote.
“When you’re halfway through a story, you want to be able to look forward to a happy ending, right? You don’t want it to be sad, life’s tough enough without that. I believe that’s where fiction came from… people dreaming about a world where things end happily.” - Shiori

A sad illusion… But at that time, I chose illusion over reality. I pushed the sad reality down into the depths of my heart and accepted this illusion, so I could be at ease. So my weak heart would not be crushed. So I wouldn’t hurt my memories…

“From time to time, I feel uneasy. I’m afraid of happiness. Uneasy… and afraid. That everything I see before me now might just be a dream.”
~ Tsukimiya Ayu
I feel a frustration in my chest that makes me want to tear myself apart. All I wanted to do was spend the days peacefully. I wanted my memories to continue to remain a peaceful place forever. Because memories are somewhere where anyone can be at ease. But I’ve abandoned those illusions. The door to those sealed memories has been opened. All that lay on the other side was the truth. The reality is before my eyes. The person that I had loved… Tsukimiya Ayu… No longer exists in this world.

I thought I’d post some of my favorite quotes from the series. Well… Some are more like monologues than anything, haha.
“I loved the changing seasons. Winter. A city of dancing snow. I loved dashing through the shopping district, leaving behind fresh footprints. Spring. A city of melted snow. I loved to pry away the small clumps of snow still remaining on the tree trunks with my hands. Summer. A city that has forgotten the cold of the snow. I loved gazing out at the misty streets from the gaps between the slanted umbrellas. Autumn. A city that foretells the arrival of the snow. I loved to look up at the clouds and catch the little white crystal that fell from them in the palm of my hands. And then, the season is Winter. The season of snow. The season where the city is all covered in white. I loved the changing seasons. But like a puddle frozen by the snow, time had stopped for me. Within this square room… Within a time without seasons… I’ve always been alone. Over and over again. Looking at the same scene inside a dream. Devoting myself to a night with no dawn… But… Slowly, the night begins to brighten.” - Ayu
“We’re the same you know. Nuisances with nowhere to go.” - Makoto
“Yuuichi… To tell you the truth… I didn’t really mean to come here today… …I just found myself here. I don’t know why myself. I knew there wouldn’t be anyone here… But I came and stood here anyway… I wasn’t really surprised. But… it’s weird… I’m weird, I guess… I couldn’t leave… Maybe I was just… hoping for something… Something that didn’t happen…” - Shiori
“I said miracles don’t happen. But… I… was wrong… Yuuichi… Can… Can I… cry now…?” - Shiori
“I’ve slit my wrist once before. The night I first met Yuichi, using a cutter knife. It was the opening day of the third semester. I saw my sister leave my room, and then I left my room, too. With this shawl that I rarely used… My sister gave me this shawl. Exactly one year ago. I begged for a present, and she gave it to me a day early. I bought a cutter knife at a convenience store, and bought many other things, even though I didn’t need them. On the way home, while looking at the last scenery of snow, I met Yuichi and Ayu. I remember that night. In my room, the lights turned off… …all alone… I couldn’t hear anything, see anything, or think of anything. It felt like I was cut off from the entire world. It felt like I had wandered into the wrong place. Right then, I thought I heard some laughter. It belonged to the people I had met that afternoon. And I remembered their joyful faces and voices, and then I found myself really miserable. Then I started to laugh, and then tears that didn’t come out even when my sister told me that I wouldn’t live until my next birthday came out. They were tears that came out from laughter, but I couldn’t stop them. Then I realized that I was crying because I was sad. Then… …after I had laughed my heart out, I couldn’t cut myself anymore. Maybe that was the miracle.” - Shiori
“That was the first and last time we played together. I began to address myself by name from that moment on. I could only see myself from a third-person point of view from then on. I couldn’t smile, either, just as Kazuya couldn’t. I started to smile again after I met Mai. I never helped Mai. I’m the one who was saved. I’m not sure if I’m overlaying Kazuya’s shadow over Mai or not, but the first time I met her, I felt that I should be with her. That I want to be with her.” - Sayuri

I love this cg, my favorite part of the novel is when (Shiori route spoilers) Yuuichi runs out into the night and Remnants of a Dream starts playing, and he recounts all the places he hung out with Shiori. Then it cuts to the shining fountain at night, as they are having a fun conversation like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

It’s not the best picture but this topic needs more Sayuri love…this image from the anime I just found so sweet!
~
Yuichi: So Mai, how did it go after that? Did it come out? [Short pause] “Yes” or “no”?
Mai: No.
Yuichi: I see so there are days it doesn’t come out.
Sayuri: What are you talking about?
Yuichi: We’re talking about Mai’s constipation.
Sayuri: [Shocked] Mai, do you want medicine for it?
Yuichi: [Short pause] Hey, you’re not denying it, so Sayuri-san’s believing me again!
Mai: I’m not.
Yuichi: Too late again!
Sayuri: [Laughs] So it was a joke.
“Do you know the title of this song? It’s Canon. Pachelbel’s Canon. It repeats the same melody and crescendos gradually, peacefully, and beautifully. It would be nice if life changed like that; slowly but surely, while being seemingly unchanged from day to day.” - Sayuri Kurata
