Quotes by Takuya Asakura (?)

“Words hold such immense power. A book is a door to the unknown; it warmly welcomes those who step inside and transports them to all sorts of times and places.”
― Takuya Asakura, The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop

“And, Mr Kikukawa - saying this makes me feel a bit presumptuous, but there's no need for you to be so afraid of forgetting. Once created, memories and words will never be erased. Even if you forget yourself completely, that will never mean that you did not exist. You see, when a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to hear it, it will still make a sound.”
― Takuya Asakura, The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop
