“Coercing a woman out of a burka is as bad as coercing her into one. It's not about the burka. It's about the coercion.”
― Arundhati Roy

“I love you. Most ardently.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Dear God,
what is my purpose of life?
What should I do to find it?
Once I found it, will I become stronger?
....Oh no, my mind is blank.
a strange sound kept ringing in my head.
What sound is that...?
Ah, I know.
It's...
The sound of emptiness.”
― Chica Umino, Honey and Clover, Vol. 6

“Every time we think about being happy again, it hurts to be alive.
Because it seems an inordinate thing for us to wish for.
And because we think that day will never come for us.
And that's why the only thing we can do for now...
...is just try to get through each night.”
― Chica Umino, Honey and Clover, Vol. 9
