- Shinjiro: That old lady who came to visit you today, what did she come here for?
- Kane: She came to chat with me.
- Shinjiro: But you didn't talk at all. Both of you just sat there saying nothing. And then that old lady bowed to you and left without saying a word.
- Kane: There are things we don't need words to understand. Her husband also died in Nagasaki, just like Grandpa. That's why she comes here now and then, sits down for a while without saying a word, and leaves without saying a word. There are people who are silent while they are talking.
- Kane: What miserable men you are! What is eating inside your heads? You're just like beggars. I am only going because this man Suzujiro is my big brother. And mind you, I am not going to see him because he is rich.
- Kane: They did drop the atom bomb, and they resent being reminded of it? If they don't like it, they don't have to remember it, but I can't have them pretending ignorance. They claim they dropped the flash to stop war. It's already been 45 years now, but the flash hasn't stopped war. They're still killing people!
- Kane: Around here, on that day, when we heard the air raid siren, Suzukichi and me were looking towards Nagasaki over that mountain, both of us standing right here. Suddenly, the sky split in half and glared at us. A big eye peeped through the crack. The big eye glared fiercely at both of us. We just looked at the sky like we were frozen. With a tremendously big sound, the ground started shaking. Suzukichi was terrified. He didn't move, staring with wide eyes at the sky. After that, he was possessed by the eye. He could see nothing else. And he kept drawing that picture. I can't forget that eye either. No other eyes are as frightful as that eye.
- Kane: Grandpa used to love to watch the moon. He always said watching the moon washed his mind clean. He often stood in the garden and looked at the moon.
