“Creating art and writing novels and poems are simply different roads I have chosen in my search for truth.”
― Yayoi Kusama, Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama

“I wanted to see the whole world for myself. I wanted to see the whole range of possibilities. Your life is yours. It doesn't belong to anyone else. I wanted to know what it would mean to live life on my own terms.”
― Satoshi Yagisawa, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

“Happiness does not exist in a place. It lives in every breath we take. You need to choose to take it in, over and over again.”
― Samantha Sotto Yambao, Water Moon

“You see, there is no book that can please everyone. And if there were, it would be a bad book. You can’t be everyone’s friend, because everyone is different. You’d have to be completely lacking in personality, no rough edges or sharp corners. But even then, many people wouldn’t like you, because they need rough edges and sharp corners. … Every person needs different books. Because what one person loves with all their heart, might leave another completely cold.”
― Carsten Henn, The Door-to-Door Bookstore
