Kirie Quotes

“For example, the wind has its reasons. We just don't notice as we go about our lives. But then, at some point, we are made to notice. The wind envelops you with a certain purpose in mind, and it rocks you. The wind knows everything that's inside you. And not just the wind. Everything, including a stone. They all know us very well. From top to bottom. It only occurs to us at certain times. And all we can do is go with those things. As we take them in, we survive, and deepen.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hear the Wind Sing

― Rieko Yoshihara, Ai no Kusabi Vol. 5: Darkness

“It was only in that dark, narrow place that he could define the boundaries of his world so he shut himself away.”
― Rieko Yoshihara, Ai no Kusabi Vol. 6: Metamorphose
