“Don’t be afraid to love someone. When you fall in love, I want you to fall in love all the way. Even if it ends in heartache, please don’t live a lonely life without love. I’ve been so worried that because of what happened you’ll give up on falling in love. Love is wonderful. I don’t want you to forget that. Those memories of people you love, they never disappear. They go on warming your heart as long as you live. When you get old like me, you’ll understand.”
― Satoshi Yagisawa, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

And when at last the fact the matter sank in, that Peter did not wish to see her, and did not hold her in special regard, she could not wrap her mind around it. She could not understand how you could open your mind to someone so completely, for so long, and then slam it shut again.”
― R.F Kuang

“At times he missed being part of the pictures himself, here was a whole narrative of his friends' lives, his absence an enormous missing part, but he also enjoyed the godlike role he played.

― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
