* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': "Enjoy not the sword of vengeance, but the sword of mutual love." A key philosophical tenet of Nanao's family sword style, it instructs its adherents to seek fulfillment and joy in a DuelToTheDeath with an opponent one accepts and admires, rather than wielding the sword in anger. It's quite important enough to Nanao's CharacterDevelopment, but it takes on an additional meaning [[spoiler:given that Oliver, [[LaceratingLoveLanguage the very person she finds most fits this statement for her]], came to Kimberly to avenge the murder of his mother against seven faculty members--which is likely to end in his own death either at his enemies' hands or because his UniqueProtagonistAsset is CastFromLifespan. His last remarks in volume 1 are to recall Nanao speaking this line, and comment that "I will test the limits of this philosophy."]]

Added DiffLines:

* "Literature/EricThePie": The phrase, ''you are what you eat'', is repeated throughout the text. It began as a saying Eric's mother told her child often where Eric ended up taking these words to heart, especially after she clarified that food gives him life and that if he doesn't eat he dies, by devouring live animals in an increasing sadistic manner in hopes of combining their lives together with his and gain their aspects. The phrase is used to emphasize how much Eric took his mother's words to heart, with the implications of the phrase changing [[spoiler:when he gets a taste of his own medicine at the end when sewer rats start to feast on him, realizing that he'd became a meal himself.]]
