A list of quotes from DARLING in the FRANXX

Hiro
"It was like I was put under a spell. Her two alluring horns, and my first ever look at a naked girl’s body, left me transfixed, unable to take my eyes off of her."

- HIro to himself, upon his first meeting with Zero Two

"I feel myself going deeper inside you!"

- Hiro to Zero Two, piloting Strelizia for the second time

"Getting mocked for my lack of a partner would be one thing. But the fact that there was still a part of me that still hoped for one made me feel pathetic."

Zero Two
"The Jian, also known as “the bird that shares wings,” only possesses one wing. Unless a male and female pair lean on each other and act as one, they’re incapable of flight. They’re imperfect, incomplete creatures. But, for some reason, their way of life, struck me as profoundly beautiful. It was beautiful, I felt."

- Zwro Two’s narrative debut

"I’m always alone, too. Thanks to these horns."

Mitsuru
"I say Hiro's showing real integrity. It must be hard for him to face us after what happened, too. Spare a thought for how he feels."

- Mitsuru speaking sarcastically about Hiro

"If you place your hopes in anything, they will be betrayed. Promises will go unfulfilled and faith will let you down."

- Mitsuru to himself

"Sure, Hiro was special. Even among the double-digits, he was a cut above. We were all certain that he'd be our leader and show us the way. But reality had other ideas. Hiro couldn't become a parasite. He's not who he used to be. We must give up and cut our losses. I don't want to see this pathetic side of Hiro anymore."

And I don't really understand what love is, either. But I can keep walking if I'm with you. That's what I've come to believe. Even without our memories, we can start over."

- Mitsuru to Kokoro about their unborn child and relationship

Kokoro
"Do you know the language of flowers?"

- Kokoro to Mitsuru

- Kokoro trying to comfort Mitsuru
