Quotes by Hiroshi Yamamoto (?)

“Death comes when memories are lost.”
― Hiroshi Yamamoto, The Stories of Ibis

“Where did this baseless fear that robots would attack humans come from? Why were there so many stories about robots and humans fighting? Did they only exist because that was how mankind had always lived? Did we simply see ourselves in these humanoid machines? Were we not simply afraid of our own reflections?”
― Hiroshi Yamamoto, The Stories of Ibis

“falling in love, getting married, having kids… it works for some people. But there’s no reason you have to live like that. Choosing one life means abandoning the possibility of living another way. If I were to give up on this adventure and get married and raise a family instead, I could still be reasonably happy. But I also think I would reflect back on the road not taken, and cry about it too.”
― Hiroshi Yamamoto, The Stories of Ibis
