“Every one of us is like an island; alone and lonely. It's not a bad thing. Solitude sets us free, just as loneliness brings depth to our lives. In the novels I like, the characters are like isolated islands. In the novels I love, the characters used to be like isolated islands, until their fates gradually intertwined; the kind of stories where you whisper, 'You were here?' and a voice answers, 'Yes, always.”

― Michiko Aoyama, What You Are Looking for is in the Library

“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.”
