Cojicoji’s quotes: words that make you chuckle and gently lighten your heart (21–30)

I don’t intend to live in memories; I want to love who you are now.Hinako

I don’t intend to live in memories; I want to love who you are now. Hinako

Cojicoji is filled with the heartfelt thoughts of Momoko Sakura, and these words, too, carry great weight.

To live in memories is merely to ruminate on and savor a past that is convenient for oneself.

More than that, the idea of wanting to look at and love the real you in the present—because it involves an actual other person and deepening love through interactions with them—strikes me as truly wonderful and, conversely, something that requires courage.

Seeing such resolve, I think this can be called a quote that deeply resonates in the heart.

So Coji-Coji doesn’t have a home or any treasures, so that means Coji-Coji doesn’t have to do anything, right?Coji-Coji

So Coji-Coji doesn’t have a home or any treasures, so that means Coji-Coji doesn’t have to do anything, right? Kojikoji

Here are the words Coji-Coji said in response to Mimi the Earthworm’s remark that he would run away with his treasures if a storm came.

Humans are creatures who, from a sense of ownership, end up wanting to protect all sorts of things, so conversely, thinking that you possess nothing at all may be something truly wonderful and peaceful.

It’s a delightful phrase that suggests being unbound by anything—almost like going back to the Jomon period.

It’s the kind of line that makes you think about living in the present and what truly matters.

Even if the body dies, the soul lives on.Coji-Coji

Even if the body dies, the soul lives on. Coji-Coji

A lot is said about the afterlife and reincarnation, but in reality, people who haven’t died can’t truly know, can they? That said, the phrase “this soul is alive” might have two meanings.

One is the idea that only the body is gone while the soul can still see and think somewhere.

The other is that the souls of those who have passed continue to live on firmly in the hearts of those who are alive now.

I’m sure Momoko Sakura’s soul is alive as well.

It’s even more fun because it’s your first time seeing it.Coji-Coji

It's even more fun because it's your first time seeing it. Koji Koji

The phrase “hajimete mita” is sometimes used to mean “I’m shocked” or “I’m dumbfounded,” but as in this quote, if you take it to mean “How interesting and exciting that it’s being seen for the first time,” you can see things from a completely opposite angle.

If you cultivate the habit of looking at words you receive from a different perspective like this, life might become more enjoyable.

Isn’t it wonderful to be able to capture that feeling so smoothly in a single line? You should definitely give it a try yourself.

I don’t know. I have no idea. Coji-Coji has never studied even once.Coji-Coji

I don’t know. I have no idea. Coji-Coji has never studied even once. Coji-Coji

Cojicoji lives in a fairytale land and has never studied at all.

At the school in the fairytale land, it seems they teach that fairytale characters must sell dreams to humans.

This idea that one must be a certain way is often spoken of in modern society too, and many people feel they’re no good if they can’t meet others’ expectations.

In such a situation, Cojicoji proudly says they’ve never studied.

We’d love to internalize that mindset in a positive way, wouldn’t we?

What kind of person is God? A funny person? Is everyone helping that person? Why?Coji-Coji

What kind of person is God? A funny person? Is everyone helping that person? Why? Coji-Coji

When it comes to God, everyone might have some sort of image, but for Coji-Coji, it seems God is something that wanders around inside one’s heart, not something that roams about around here.

Which means God is in each person’s heart.

And since God is just wandering, it doesn’t seem like they particularly do good things for us or bad things either.

It’s fine to feel something absolute in God or to make God a source of comfort, but this kind of relaxed way of thinking feels warm and nice, doesn’t it?

Kettle-kun is wonderful just the way Kettle-kun is. There’s no such thing as a useless existence.Teruko

Kettle-kun is wonderful just the way Kettle-kun is. There’s no such thing as a useless existence. Teruko

Many people probably get trapped in the mindset that they have no worth as “Mr.

Kettle” unless they can boil the same flavor every time.

But the words expressing the lovely idea that “Mr.

Kettle is wonderful just as he is” help you relax and ease your shoulders, don’t they? Conversely, even if you push yourself thinking you’re no good as you are, you might not be able to bring out your true ability.

There’s also a famous quote that says they like focusing on how Mr.

Kettle’s tea is different each time, and there are many aspects of Mr.

Kettle that really make you think, aren’t there?

No matter what clothes someone wears, the person themselves doesn’t change.Pero-chan

No matter what clothes someone wears, the person themselves doesn’t change. Pero-chan

This quote aims to convey a truth about appearances.

While looks certainly matter, focusing only on them can lead you to filter people out before you get to know what’s inside.

And even if you polish your appearance, it will quickly become clear if there isn’t much substance beneath.

Perhaps Coji-Coji is teaching us the courage to cultivate our inner selves and the importance of doing so.

One of its charms is that it isn’t just a heartwarming story—it offers plenty to sink your teeth into.

Me too, Jiro… Jiro the half-fish bird… I’ve always, always been nothing… just myself…Jiro

Me too, Jiro... Jiro, the half-fish bird... I've always, always been nothing... just myself... Jiro

As we go through life, we tend to feel that we have to work hard to accomplish something or become somebody.

But these words make us wonder whether there is anything more precious than simply being ourselves.

From the most negative perspective, it’s just that you are nothing but yourself; from a positive one, it may be interpreted as: merely continuing to be yourself is wonderful.

In any case, these are words I’d like those who feel pressured to become something to take to heart.

Buhibuhi and Suzy help make good possible by taking the side of evil—without people like them, good wouldn’t exist.Jiro

Buhibuhi and Suzy help make good possible by taking the side of evil—without people like them, good wouldn’t exist. Jiro

Among the characters, Buhibuhi and Suzy are seen as villains.

Rather than simply criticizing them as bad and unforgivable, Jiro’s objective way of evaluating them offers a fascinating perspective.

The idea that, like light and shadow or yin and yang, the other side is also indispensable feels like a wonderful mindset that embraces the existence of all things.

It even conveys something close to respect for the villains, creating a very intriguing structure.

Why not try looking at the things you can’t accept from a different point of view as well?

In conclusion

The words spoken by the characters in Coji-Coji carry a mysterious gentleness that lets you relax and breathe. A casual remark can quietly wrap around your everyday worries and doubts. When you feel a bit worn out, try recalling the quotes introduced here. You’ll surely find hints to help you live in a way that feels true to yourself.
