“In this matter, you should not concern yourself for my sake.”
― Amy Tan, The Kitchen God's Wife

“That is why each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden--forbidden for him. It's possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vise versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet.”
― Hermann Hesse

“It’s a waste of time to think about things you can’t know,”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

“Even if we could turn back, we'd probably never end up where we started.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
