Quotes by Kyōko Nakajima (?)

“Once cracks open in your feelings for someone, they will never return to the way they were before.”

“The ideal path in life for humankind is certainly that of a man and woman loving each other deeply, but there must also be a second path. And even a third path must be open to those unable to find someone to love and who are lonely, so that they may dedicate their life to their work. I think it's fine to follow either of these three paths, as long as you follow it wholeheartedly, with the desire of giving back to the universe, so that the self may flourish and thrive.”
― Kyōko Nakajima, The Little House
