“Maybe the times I couldn't move were the times I needed to take better care of myself.”

“I'm afraid of being loved. Because "I love you this way" means the same thing as "I won't love you anymore if you stop being this way", doesn't it?”
― Nio Nakatani, Bloom into You, Vol. 6

“The love they talk about in books and songs is always sparkling... I'd always longed for it myself. I wanted to feel like I'd sprouted wings, like i was floating in the air... I had high hopes. And yet... my feet were still planted firmly on the ground.”

“In the mansion called literature I would have the eaves deep and the walls dark, I would push back into the shadows the things that come forward too clearly, I would strip away the useless decoration. I do not ask that this be done everywhere, but perhaps we may be allowed at least one mansion where we can turn off the electric lights and see what it is like without them.”
― Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows
