Shūsaku Endō
“I did pray. I kept on Praying. But prayer did nothing to alleviate their suffering.”
Shūsaku Endō, Silence

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
“が、尾生の魂は、寂しい天心の月の光に、思い憧れたせいかも知れない。ひそかに死骸を抜け出すと、ほのかに明るんだ空の向うへ、まるで水の匀や藻の匀が音もなく川から立ち昇るように、うらうらと高く昇ってしまった。。。
それから幾千年かを隔てた後、この魂は無数の流転を閲して、また生を人間に託さなければならなくなった。それがこう云う私に宿っている魂なのである。だから私は現代に生れはしたが、何一つ意味のある仕事が出来ない。昼も夜も漫然と夢みがちな生活を送りながら、ただ、何か来るべき不可思議なものばかりを待っている。ちょうどあの尾生が薄暮の橋の下で、永久に来ない恋人をいつまでも待ち暮したように。”
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, 尾生の信 [Bisei no shin]

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
“True, the Van Gogh was just a book of reproductions, but even in the photographs of those paintings, he sensed the vivid presence of nature.”
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, The Life of a Stupid Man

Paul Éluard
“She always walked under the arches of nights
And everywhere she went
She left
The mark of broken things.”
Paul Éluard, Capital of Pain

Yasunari Kawabata
“Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”
Yasunari Kawabata
