“I also don’t care if heaven exists or not. But even if it doesn’t exist...I think it’s something that should. It’s more convenient that way. The final destination for those who kept on living despite all of life’s hardships shouldn’t be oblivion. Wouldn’t it be nicer to think that they’re indulging in luxury up in heaven?”
― Kanehito Yamada, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 1-5

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“Living means someone knows you and remembers you.”
― Kanehito Yamada, 葬送のフリーレン 5 [Sōsō no Frieren 5]

“I feel the most sorry for the ones who starved to death. I'll never get over that feeling. People today say 'I'm starving' when they are hungry - but they don't understand what that really means.”
― Shigeru Mizuki, Showa 1953-1989: A History of Japan
