Quotes by Kōhei Kadono (?)

“Life is brief, young maiden, fall in love; before the crimson bloom fades from your lips, before the tides of passion cool within your hips, for those of you who know no tomorrow. (Gondola no Uta)”
― Kouhei Kadono, Boogiepop Doesn't Laugh Vol 1

“Rather than ask yourself if you are correct, it is far more realistic to think about how you are mistaken. Most humans have not been designed to be right very often.”
― Kouhei Kadono, Boogiepop Returns: Vs. Imaginator Part 1

tags: flaws, humans, mistaken

“Justice might well prevail in the end, but ordinary people like me had no guarantee of surviving that long. We might get killed on the whim of some serial killer first.”
― Kouhei Kadono, Boogiepop And Others

tags: justice, killer, murder, survive
