Here, too, a brand-new day is beginning. It could be a day like all the others, or it could be a day remarkable enough in many ways to remain in the memory. In either case, for now, for most people, it is a blank sheet of paper.

Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.

Whether in music or in fiction, the most basic thing is rhythm. Your style needs to have good, natural, steady rhythm, or people won't keep reading your work.

If I'm going to merely ramble, maybe I should just snuggle under the warm covers, think of Miu, and play with myself.

The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want us the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it.The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.

Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise; without the despair of loss, there is no hope.

Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
