“People tend to feel happy when spring arrives, especially after a cold winter.
When spring begins, however, cannot be pinpointed to one particular moment. There is no one day that clearly marks when winter ends and spring begins. Spring hides inside winter. We notice it emerging with our eyes, our skin, and other senses. We find it in new buds, a comfortable breeze and the warmth of the sun. It exists alongside winter.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Tales from the Cafe

“Ik had te lang gewacht, zoals altijd in mijn leven. De weg terug was zo goed als afgesloten.”
― Peter Terrin, Patricia

“Sometimes people will only confide in someone they trust, but other times they need the listener to be a complete stranger.”

“Seasons flow in a cycle.
Life too, passes through difficult winters.
But after any winter, spring will follow.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Tales from the Cafe
