“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman.

― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.”
