“...It's not something shared with society, but rather its a personal possession. I've never thought that I wanted to share morality with someone. I feel it's like a white canvas on which nothing is yet drawn, a silent room which accepts any sounds of music and nature, a litmus paper that has not yet been dipped into a solution. In future, it will be a white canvas on which anyone should be allowed to draw anything.”

“...I think that the love I sent to him was a merciless thing. I sent him love in exchange for his death; I didn't love him in exchange for his death. I was not intending to console and love him because he was sentenced to death.”
