Shigure Sohma : The Puppeteer in the Shadows

"The most unconcerned of being alone. The one who never feared me. The one who was impossible to tie down"-Akito Sohma, about Shigure

"When the twelve zodiac were born this time,the servants were really excited. But I understood something else. This is it. It is going to be the last banquet..and that is why we are all gathered here"- Shigure,about the weakening of the Sohma curse.

"I never changed. I am still there. Waiting for you to come to me"-Shigure, to Akito

"We have just witnessed a classic example of what I like to call 'misdirected rage.' I believe the technical term is 'being an ass.'"- Shigure

" Who is the fool who doesn't understand,now?"-Shigure about Akito, to Hatori.

"Who said anything about leaving? Traitor"-Shigure to Akito.

"That person..always has to make sarcastic remarks when am in pain. He keeps degrading me"-Akito about Shigure.

"Why don't you let go of being a 'God'? The person your father wanted you to be?"-Shigure to Akito

"On one hand,you want me to deny your identity as a woman. On the other hand,you use the very fact you are a woman against me"-Shigure to Akito

"I too know...what it is like to be jealous"-Shigure,referring to Akito and Kureno's relationship.

"Sometimes I think the whole world is conspiring to destroy my house"-Shigure

"The evil has perished!"-Mitchan,Shigure's editor after Shigure's decision to quit the publishing industry.

I still remember that vow. If I can fight to make it happen, I won't feel guilty about...the means to that end. Even if someone gets hurt in the process. There are times...when I hate myself for it. Especially when I see Tohru-kun. It's not what you think. ...She really is a good kid. Even though she is a tranquilizer for Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun...it just seems to me that everything's coming together so... cleanly. I'm forced to see...that I may be...the filthiest one. -Shigure

Mitchan - Please take your job a little more seriously. Isn't your job important to you?
Shigure - Huh? The most important thing to me...has always been me.

"Don't you feel stupid? They have found their happiness,you're the only one who hasn't let go of the past"-Shigure to Mayuko

"Sometimes it is best not to know certain things. Life is better dealt that way. It is peaceful"-Shigure to Mayuko.

"I call it,'animal instinct'"-Shigure

"Que sera sera.Whatever will be,will be"-Shigure

"We,the members of the Zodiac are monsters. The very existence of the Cat makes us feel better about ourselves. Ask anyone whether they look down upon the Cat,for a moment,I assure you,they'll be speechless. And that is the Cat's duty"-Shigure to Tohru.

"Next time,I hope you meet a woman who you don't have to stay away from even while you're with her. A woman you can truly be happy with"-Shigure to Hatori

"So thats how it feels.."-Shigure,after being released from the curse.
