“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

“It made me miserable that I was rapidly becoming an adult and that I was unable to do anything about it.”

“استنفدت الشعر في مناجاة طيفك، الشعر لغتك المقدسة فلا أمتهنه، غاضت دموعي ينابيعه في سواد الليالي، ما أسعدني في مرمي ناظريك وما أتعسني، إني أحيا تحت نظرتك كما تحيا اليابسة بمقلة الشمس.”
― Naguib Mahfouz, قصر الشوق
