There is nothing for it but to try and see through our missions to the end, as best we can, for until we do so, we will be permitted no calm.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, When We Were Orphans

“Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”

“What happens when people open their hearts?"
"They get better.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
