“Be on the side that saves people. If both sides are the same, then choose to become a good person...You might not see a great difference between right and wrong, but saving others is something just a bit more wonderful.”
Kafka Asagiri

Jean-Paul Sartre
“This is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free: condemned, because he did not create himself, yet nonetheless free, because once cast into the world, he is responsible for everything that he does.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

Osamu Dazai
“How cruel of you. What part of what you see here is carefree? If only you could understand the sadness of the ones who grow the delicate flowers of buffoonery, protecting them from but the slightest gust of wind and always on the verge of despair!”
Osamu Dazai, The Flowers of Buffoonery

Osamu Dazai
“Sometimes happiness arrives one night too late. The thought occurred to me as I lay there. You wait and wait for happiness, and when finally you can't bear it any longer, you rush out of the house, only to hear later that a marvelous happiness arrived the following day at the home you had abandoned, and now it was too late. Sometimes happiness arrives one night too late.”
Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

Osamu Dazai
“The next morning was peaceful and clear. The sea was calm. White smoke from the volcano on Oshima, just above the horizon, drifted up into the sky.

Never mind. I hate describing scenery.”
Osamu Dazai, The Flowers of Buffoonery
