“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star.

― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“The truth is always an abyss. One must — as in a swimming pool — dare to dive from the quivering springboard of trivial everyday experience and sink into the depths, in order to later rise again — laughing and fighting for breath — to the now doubly illuminated surface of things.”
