“Krótkie życie nie powinno nas paraliżować, przeciwnie - chronić przed powierzchownością i chaosem naszej egzystencji. Zadaniem śmierci jest zmuszenie człowieka do czegoś istotnego.”
― Sven Lindqvist, Exterminate all the brutes

“Yes, all those able-bodied people didn’t know how good they had it. They could make erudite-sounding pronouncements about how they just liked the smell of books, or the feel of the paper, or the sense of tension that came from the thickness of the remaining pages reducing beneath their fingers, and others would listen unquestioningly to what they were saying.”
― Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback

“Japan, on the other hand, works on the understanding that disabled people don’t exist within society, so there are no such proactive considerations made. Able-bodied Japanese people have likely never even imagined a hunchbacked monster struggling to read a physical book. Here was I, feeling my spine being crushed a little more with every book that I read, while all those e-book-hating able-bodied people who went on and on about how they loved the smell of physical books, or the feel of the turning pages beneath their fingers, persisted in their state of happy oblivion.”
― Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback

“I am practicing being kind over being right.”
