Durarara!! Light Novel Volume 01/Chapter 07

"Manga and novels and video games and our parents and our school have nothing to do with this. If there's any reason we do this, it's because we're just plain crazy."

Quotes

 * Walker: "Kids, don't try this at home. But who would every try this anyway?"
 * "No matter how much they captured the imagination, their numbers and power meant nothing in the end - a fleeting illusion in the shifting midst of the city. And that was exactly why he wanted proof that this illusion really existed. But Kadota understood. Only after the illusion vanished would he really know if that's what the Dollars were."
