“Humans have a desire for truth. Or they have a desire to believe that what they know is the truth. In other words, the actual truth comes second to that desire. Be mindful of what is the truth and what is a lie. In other words, always doubt yourself. Harbor an inner devil's advocate as you read along... And I won't forget to add that by that point, you might have already fallen into my trap.”

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.”

“Essentially, people live in one of two ways. Either they live in awareness of their own worthlessness, or they live in their awareness of the worthlessness of the world. Two ways. Either you allow your value to be absorbed by the world, or you chisel away at the world's value and make it your own. Which should take precedence, the value of the world your own value?”
― NisiOisiN, Zaregoto, Book 1: The Kubikiri Cycle

“When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.”
