“Think! There's nothing certain in our future! All we can hope for is a vague continuation. But in spite of that, you're going to keep on living. You can't give up on life just because it's vague. It's a question of possibilities...”
― Koji Suzuki, Ring

“Don't worry. There's nothing down there. Your biggest enemy is your imagination.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“You know, a lot of strange things happen in this world.”

“I'm used to it. Try slamming your fist into a brick wall every day. Eventually you won't even feel the pain anymore.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Of course, a story always begins with such a coincidence.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Asakawa himself didn't much care if the company made money or lost it. All that mattered to him was whether or not the work was engaging. No matter how easy a job was physically, if it didn't involve imagination, it usually ended up exhausting you.”

“But listen, devils never drive humanity to extinction. Why? Because if people cease to exist, so do devils.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“A fundamental sense of terror is built into us humans, on the instinctual level.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“See, we don’t know the beginning and we don’t know the end; all we can know about is the in-between stuff. And that, my friend, is what life is like.”

“There are three conditions that have to be met in order for a malevolent will to remain in the world after death. An enclosed space, water, and a slow death. One, two, three. In other words, if someone dies slowly, in an enclosed space, with water present, then usually that person’s angry spirit will haunt the place. Now, look at this well. It’s a small, enclosed space. There’s water.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“It’s all about differential equations. Most phenomena in the universe can be expressed with differential equations, you know. Using them, you can figure out what the universe looked like a hundred million years ago, ten billion years ago, even a second or a tenth of a second after that initial explosion. But. But. No matter how far we go back, no matter how we try to express it, we just can’t know what it looked like at zero, at the very moment of the explosion. And there’s another thing. How is our universe going to end? Is the universe expanding or contracting? See, we don’t know the beginning and we don’t know the end; all we can know about is the in-between stuff. And that, my friend, is what life is like.”

“What harm could come from just watching a videotape?”

“Think! There's nothing certain in our future! All we can hope for is a vague continuation. But in spite of that, you're going to keep on living. You can't give up on life just because it's vague. It's a question of possibilities.”

“If you took any two incidents, you could find things in common if you looked hard enough.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“��...Vào lúc này, hãy thành thực với cảm giác của chính bản thân mình! Trước mặt chúng ta là một tương lai bất định. Mọi chuyện cuối cùng rồi đều có kết cục của nó. Và biết đâu loài người s�� giải quyết đưc�� mọi th�� bằng tài trí của mình. Đối với loài người, đây chính là một th�� thách. �� thời nào cũng vậy, qu�� s�� luôn thay đổi hình dạng đ�� tồn tại. Dù chúng ta có ra sức tiêu diệt, bọn chúng cũng s�� vẫn c�� xuất hiện mà thôi.”
― Koji Suzuki, Ring

“An evil chill seemed to rise up around her shoulders, spread to her back, and began to slither down her spine, lower and lower. Her T-shirt was soaked with cold sweat. Her physical responses were too strong for it to be just her imagination.

.... Didn't someone say your body is more honest than your mind?”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Those who have viewed these images are fated to die at this exact hour one week from now. If you do not wish to die, you must follow these instructions exactly ��”

“It wasn't that people refrained from saying anything out of fear of being laughed at for being unscientific. It was that they felt they'd be drawing unto themselves some
unimaginable horror by admitting it. It was more conves indulge in the scientific explanation, no matter how unconvincing
it was.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Even amidst the worst panic, there are still scattered moments like this, when time flows leisurely by. Even when trying to finish a story by an impending deadline, Asakawa would sometimes find himself aimlessly watching coffee drop from the spout of the coffee maker, and later he’d reflect on how elegantly he’d wasted precious time.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Of course, every story always begins with such a coincidence.”

“Asakava, kızları Yoko'yu dizine oturtmuş, resimli bir kitapta yazılanları okuyordu. O yaşta bir bebeğin, sözcüklerin ne anlama geldiğini o anda anlaması olası değil ama zihninde yerleşen sözcük sayısı ne kadar çok olursa, iki yaşına geldiği sıralarda konuşmaya başladığında, kullanabildiği sözcük sayısı çığ gibi büyür.”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“He had high hopes that the key to unlock the riddle of four people's deaths was hidden on this tape. He'd pushed play fully intending to be satisfied with just a clue, any clue. There can't be any danger, he was thinking. What harm could come from just watching a videotape?”
― Kōji Suzuki, Ring

“Hey, I was thinking - maybe the Devil's behind this whole thing after all [...] The Devil always appear in the world in a different form. You know the bubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the second half of the thirteenth century? Half of the population died. Can you believe that? Half, that's like the population of Japan being reduced to sixty million. Naturally, artists at the time likened the plague to the Devil. It's like that now, too - don't we talk about AIDS as if it were a modern Devil? But listen, devils never drive humanity to extinction. Why? Because of people cease to exist, so do devils. The same with viruses. If the host cell perishes, the virus can't survive”

“Sometimes when one is given the answers up front it dulls one's intuition. My intuition has already led me to a conclusion. And now that I have that in mind, I'll twist any phenomenon to rationalize holding onto that conclusion. It's like that in criminal investigations, too, isn't it? Like you get the notion that 'he's the guy', it suddenly seems like all evidence agrees with you. See, we can't afford to wander off the trail here. I need you to back up my conclusion. That is, I want to see, once you've taken a look at the evidence, if your intuition tells you the same thing mine told me.”

“I guess you’re right. I can look at photo albums and get a reasonable idea of what I was like when I was three years old, or when I was a newborn.”

“You know about the Big Bang, right? They believe that the universe was born in a tremendous explosion twenty billion years ago. I can mathematically express the form of the universe, from its birth to the present. It's all about differential equations. Most phenomena in the universe can be expressed with differential equations, you know. Using them, you can figure out what the universe looked like a hundred million years ago, ten billion years ago, even a second or a tenth of a second after that initial explosion. But. No matter how far we go back, no matter how we try to express it, we just can't know what it looked like at zero, at the very moment of the explosion. And there's another thing. How is our universe going to end? Is the universe expanding or contracting? See, we don't know the beginning and we don't know the end; all we can know about is the in-between stuff.

“Sometimes it was interesting and sometimes it wasn't, but right now he couldn't be bothered to go into it in detail.”
