Shion Miura
“A dictionary is a repository of human wisdom not because it contains an accumulation of words but because it embodies true hope, wrought over time by indomitable spirits.”
Shion Miura, The Great Passage

Shion Miura
“Gathering a huge number of words together with as much accuracy as possible was like finding a mirror without distortion. The less distortion in the word-mirror, the greater chance that when you opened up to someone and revealed your inner self, your feelings and thoughts would be reflected there with clarity and depth. You could look together in the mirror and laugh, weep, get angry.”
Shion Miura, The Great Passage

“However much food you ate, as long as you were alive, you would experience hunger again, and words, however you managed to capture them, would disperse again like phantoms into the void.”
Shion Miura, The Great Passage

Timothée de Fombelle
“In the bleak years that followed, legends abounded as to what had become of her. There was talk of a girl at the bottom of the sea, or hiding somewhere else to prepare her revenge. The people, oppressed by the king's madness, made her into their secret heroine. That is the way stories are born, when small mysteries meet dark times.”
Timothée de Fombelle, Le Livre de Perle

Shion Miura
“A dictionary is a ship that crosses the sea of words,” said Araki, with a sense that he was laying bare his innermost soul. “People travel on it and gather the small points of light floating on the dark surface of the waves. They do this in order to tell someone their thoughts accurately, using the best possible words. Without dictionaries, all any of us could do is linger before the vastness of the deep.”
Shion Miura, The Great Passage
