Osamu Dazai
“He could only consider me as the living corpse of a would-be suicide, a person dead to shame, an idiot ghost.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai
“As long as I can make them laugh, it doesn’t matter how, I’ll be alright. If I succeed in that, the human beings probably won’t mind it too much if I remain outside their lives. The one thing I must avoid is becoming offensive in their eyes: I shall be nothing, the wind, the sky.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai
“I am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem unaware even that they are deceiving one another.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai
“I have always shook with fright before human beings. Unable as I was to feel the least particle of confidence in my ability to speak and act like a human being, I kept my solitary agonies locked in my breast. I kept my melancholy and my agitation hidden, careful lest any trace should be left exposed. I feigned an innocent optimism; I gradually perfected myself in the role of the farcical eccentric.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai
“Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
