“Society won't stand for it.
It's not society. You're the one who won't stand for it--right?
If you do such a thing society will make you suffer for it.
It's not society. It's you, isn't it?
Before you know it, you'll be ostracized by society.
It's not society. You're going to do the ostracizing, aren't you?”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Có nhớ mẹ không? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?

I miss you more than I remember you.”

“They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they can love it.”
