finally reading my favourite anime

“Wala pong tinatawag na peaceful revolution. Ang pagbabago, ang rebolusyon ... di po maiiwasang maging madugo. Gaya ng panganganak."

“If we consider how much less the beauty and majesty of a building depend upon its pleasing certain prejudices of the eye, than upon its rousing certain trains of meditation in the mind, it will show in a moment how many intricate questions of feeling are involved in the raising of an edifice; it will convince us of the truth of a proposition, that no man can be an architect, who is not a metaphysician.”

“Nature does not define woman: it is she who defines herself by reclaiming nature for herself in her affectivity.”

“The subtle and deadly change of heart that might occur in you would be involved with the realization that a civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.”

"I wanted to explain
myself to myself in an understandable way. I gave
shape to my fears and made excuses. I varied my
velocities, watched myselves sleep. Something’s not
right about what I’m doing but I’m still doing it—
living in the worst parts, ruining myself. My inner life
is a sheet of black glass. If I fell through the floor
I would keep falling. The enormity of my desire
disgusts me."

Time for the yearly re-read of my favourite franchise
