“Tôi nhận ra rằng ngay cả những người luôn khẳng định mọi thứ đều đã được sắp đặt trước và sẽ chẳng làm gì có thể thay đổi được cũng vẫn quan sát trước khi qua đường.”

“So what can I do now?" she spoke up a minute later.
"Nothing," I said. "Just think about what comes before words. You owe that to the dead. As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself. Is that too much to ask?"
"A little," she said, trying to smile.
"Well, of course it is," I said, trying to smile too.
"I doubt that this makes sense to most people. But I think I'm right. People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if posible, sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies. Personally, I don't buy it."
Yuki leaned against the car door. "But that's real hard, isn't it?" she said.
"Real hard," I said. "But it's worth trying for.”

“Tất cả chúng ta đều đi tìm người duy nhất có thể mang lại cho ta cái mà ta thiếu trong cuộc sống. Và nếu không thể nào tìm được người ấy thì chúng ta chỉ còn cách cầu nguyện để người ấy sẽ tìm thấy ta”
― Guillaume Musso

“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. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun
