“If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“He didn’t deserve peace and he didn’t deserve forgiveness, but if he was going to die today, maybe the one thing he’d earned was the memory of her - brighter than anything he would ever have a right to - to take with him to the other side.”

Lev Grossman, The Magicians

“was like community theater on a plate: passable in content, but slightly tragic in execution.”
