“Why railest thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth, Since birth and heaven and earth, all three do meet In thee at once, which thou at once wouldst lose?”
― William Shakespeare

“For people to actually live by some golden rule, we’d have to be living in a world with no contradictions. But we don’t live in a world like that. No one does. People do what works for them, whatever makes them feel good. But because nobody likes getting stepped on, people start spouting crap about being good to others, being considerate, whatever. Tell me I’m wrong. Everyone does things they don’t want people doing back. Predators eat prey, and school serves no real purpose other than separating the kids who have what it takes from the ones who don’t. That’s the whole point. Everywhere you look, the strong walk all over the weak. Even those fools who think they’ve found the answers by coming up with perfect little sayings about how the world ought to be can’t escape it. Because the real world is everywhere.”
― Mieko Kawakami, Heaven

“It is all those differences, however miniscule, that make up my existence.”
― Genki Kawamura, If Cats Disappeared from the World

“I just like the feeling of us moving through time together. I need him there. I need to know that at this very moment he’s looking down at his hands somewhere in the world.”
