“When your world breaks, your self also breaks. But for me, the world’s always been broken. It’s all chaotic, out of my control. I’m sure that’s why I try to sort and organise it so much. I want to have it all contained in the palm of my hand.”
― Izumi Suzuki, Set My Heart on Fire

“It was as if I had become transparent, to the bottom of my heart, you might even call what I felt a sublime nihility.”
― Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

“My face was like that of a stranger. An animated face, liberated from my own sadness and pain seemingly disconnected from such feelings.”
― Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

“People have told me, really more times than I can remember, ever since I was a small boy, how lucky I was, but I have always felt as I were suffering in Hell. It has seemed to me in fact that those who called me lucky were incomparably more fortunate than I.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
