“Time is a great healer. It just flows on all of its own accord.”
― Yōko Ogawa, The Memory Police

― Yōko Ogawa, The Memory Police

“You gave me the flow of time, with morning, afternoon, and night, and the gift of miraculous shoes to walk around the real world. For me you were a magician. Without you, I would probably have lived my life without ever being aware that a period of time called morning even existed.”
― Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman

“Hence, foundering halfway between the abyss and the peak, they drifted rather than lived, given up to aimless days and sterile memories, wandering shadows who could only have found strength by resigning themselves to taking root in the soil of their distress.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague
