“So, man is an individual only because of his intangible memory... and memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind.”
― The Puppet Master

“I love the shade and the shadow, and would be alone with my thoughts when I may.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Why is physical love bad and spiritual love good? I don't understand. I can't help feeling that they are the same. I would like to boast that I am she who could destroy her body and soul in Gehenna for the sake of a love, for the sake of a passion she could not understand, or for the sake of the sorrow they engendered.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

“I should have died sooner. But there was one thing: Mama's love. When I thought of that I couldn't die. It's true, as I have said, that just as man has the right to live as he chooses, he has the right to die when he pleases, and yet as long as my mother remained alive, I felt that the right to death would have to be left in abeyance, for to exercise it would have meant killing her too.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun
