“The world looks different through a smiling face and a crying face, you know? That is, if you have the power to smile through difficult times, then you have nothing to fear. Even hell becomes heaven for you.”
― Hideaki Sorachi

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”
― Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

“Weep and ask for help.
Lean on me with your runny nose.
Cry when you feel like crying.
Laugh when you feel like laughing.
When you’re tearing up with an ugly face,
I’ll give you a good cry with an uglier face.
When you’re laughing so hard your stomach hurts,
I’ll laugh in a louder voice.
That’s how it should be.
It’s far better to get dirty while living true to yourself,
than to throw away yourself and die a clean death.”
— Sakata Gintoki”
― Sorachi Hideaki

“I imagined myself as Frida to Diego, both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.”
