“Beautiful feelings make bad literature.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Flowers of Buffoonery

“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

“I can only move myself into the distance; my mother can never become for me, as I can for myself, a winged art object flying serenely through the air. She refuses to be isolated and remains unfathomable; my sentences crash in the darkness and lie scattered on the paper.”
― Peter Handke, A Sorrow Beyond Dreams

“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
