Natsume Sōseki
“Anyone without spiritual aspirations is a fool”
Sōseki Natsume, Kokoro

Natsume Sōseki
“You have a fine scholar's way with words, I must say. You're good at empty reasoning.”
Sōseki Natsume, Kokoro

Natsume Sōseki
“Let us not argue. You men certainly will argue about anything, and with such obvious pleasure too. I have often wondered how it is that you men can, without becoming bored, forever exchange empty saké cups with one another."

Her words, I thought, were a little harsh. But they did not seem offensive to me. Sensei's wife was not so modern a woman as to take pride and pleasure in being able to display her mental prowess. She valued far more that thing which lies buried in the bottom of one's heart.”
Natsume Sōseki, Kokoro

Amal El-Mohtar
“I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction.I want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

“...you don't really become a finer person just by reading lots of books.”
