Quotes by Sōji Shimada (?)

“The deeper the pain you have, the more you hide it. I am sure I am not the only one who has suffered. The bitter truth is often covered with fake smiles.”
― Soji Shimada, The Tokyo Zodiac Murders

“We're all struggling so hard, heading in the wrong direction. All our efforts are in vain, Kazumi. They come to nothing! Our pleasure, our sorrow, our anger—it all comes and goes like a typhoon or a squall or cherry blossoms. We are all being pushed by our petty feelings and carried away to the same place. None of us can resist it. Do whatever you think is idealistic? But it's not! It's just petty! We only end up knowing that our efforts were in vain!”
― Soji Shimada, The Tokyo Zodiac Murders

“Saya mungkin berbeda dari orang lain, tetapi itulah yang menjadikan saya seorang seniman. Seni bukanlah meniru hasil karya orang lain; seni sejati hanya ada dalam perbedaan. Meskipun akan lebih mudah, saya tidak pernah mau mengikuti jejak orang lain.”
― Soji Shimada, The Tokyo Zodiac Murders
