“A lover should die after a long lifetime. I lost Hitoshi at the age of twenty, and I suffered from it so much that I felt as if my own life had stopped. The night he died, my soul went away to some other place and I couldn't bring it back. It was impossible to see the world as I had before. My brain ebbed and flowed, unstable, and I passed the days in a relentless state of dull oppression.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, Moonlight Shadow

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust
