“Once you’ve tasted pure, unadulterated love, it’s like a part of your heart’s been irradiated, burned out, in a sense. Particularly when that love, for whatever reason, is suddenly severed. For the person involved, that sort of love is both the supreme happiness and a curse.”

“It is not a crime,' Terren said through his teeth, 'if nobody can punish me for it.”

“Standing there alone, I always felt sad, a deep sadness I'd felt before, long, long ago. I remembered that sadness very well.

― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls
