Eileen Chang
“Great sorrow and great happiness are, in this regard, similar. They both require distance from others.”
Eileen Chang, Half a Lifelong Romance

NisiOisiN
“You selfishly decided to love them and selfishly decided to hate them. You selfishly put store in them and were selfishly disappointed by them. You selfishly felt enchanted and selfishly felt disillusioned.”
NisiOisiN, NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK): Cat Tale

NisiOisiN
“Considering the weight of all she'd overcome in the past few months, I felt pathetic for having just as many experiences, but not overcoming a thing. Right. I haven't overcome a thing.”
NisiOisiN, 猫物語 (白) [Nekomonogatari]

“While it may seem uninhibited and respectable to say, "who cares what anyone thinks about me" and "I don't mind what anyone thinks about me," what you're really saying is no different from "I'm going to fool everyone." Especially in this case.”
NisiOisiN, 鬼物語 [Onimonogatari]

Ryū Murakami
“Nobody [...] has a perfect personality. Everyone has a good side and a side that's not so good. [...] What's good about Americans, if I can generalize a little, is that they have a kind of openhearted innocence. And what's not so good is that they can't imagine any world outside the States, or any value system different from their own. The Japanese have a similar defect, but Americans are even worse about trying to force others to do whatever they themselves feel to be right.”
Ryū Murakami, In the Miso Soup
