I love feeling the rhythm of other people's lives. It's like traveling.

I felt how important the simplest things were, like feeling proud, finding something funny, stretching yourself, retreating into yourself.

Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated.

If you don’t say what you’re thinking, you end up lying when you really need to speak up.

I had been walking in silence for so long,I had almost forgotten what my own voice sounded like.My knees were tired;my toes were beginning to ache.

What was important wasn't the fireworks, it was that we were together this evening, together in this place, looking up into the sky at the same time.

You know, Chihiro, darling- all it takes is one little wrong step and you end up feeling frustrated your whole life, like me.
