“In this age of ours it's hard to say with certainty that having lived was better than not having been born in the first place.”
― Kenzaburō Ōe, A Personal Matter

“Living itself is the source of sin.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“We live in a pretty apathetic age, yet we’re surrounded by an enormous amount of information about other people. If you feel like it, you can easily gather that information about them. Having said that, we still hardly know anything about people.”

“You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.” Sara looked directly into his eyes. “If nothing else, you need to remember that. You can’t erase history, or change it. It would be like destroying yourself.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
