“After all this, I won't start to hate you.”

“Inside that darkness, i saw rain falling on the sea. Rain softly falling on a vast sea, with no one there to see it. The rain strikes the surface of the sea, yet even the fish don't know it is raining.”

“Friends don't need the intervention of a third party. Friendship's a voluntary thing.”

“Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives, we nurture death.”

“I've always liked libraries. They're quiet and full of books and full of knowledge.”

“People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.”

“Loving another person is a wonderful thing, and if that love is sincere, no one ends up tossed into a labyrinth. You have to have more faith in yourself.”

“No one could say how long that life would last. Whatever has form can disappear in an instant.”

“You're afraid of imagination and even more afraid of dreams. Afraid of the resposibility that begins in dreams. But you have to sleep and dreams are a part of sleep. When you're awake you can suppress imagination but you can't supress dreams.”

“Pointless thinking is worse than no thinking at all.”

“I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do.”

“I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.”

“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”

“I have this strange feeling that I'm not myself anymore. It's hard to put into words, but I guess it's like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.”

“In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.”
