    Haruki Murakami
    “The sense of tragedy - according to Aristotle - comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak points but from his good qualities. Do you know what I'm getting at? People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues.
    ...

    ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
