Osamu Dazai
“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.

Everything passes.

That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell.

Everything passes.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“When you find yourself looking ridiculous, reasoning isn't worth a damn.”

“But happiness is being able to hope, however faintly, for happiness. So, at least, we must believe if we are to live in the world of today.”
Osamu Dazai, Blue Bamboo: Japanese Tales of Fantasy

Osamu Dazai
“Shame on me for making such a mockery of myself. Blame it on my wounded pride. The fact is that my fear of being ridiculed is so intense I'd rather beat my critics to the punch. That's the epitome of cowardice.”
Osamu Dazai, The Flowers of Buffoonery

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
