All of us are imperfect human beings living in an imperfect world.

Everything in life is a metaphor.

We were young, and we had no need for prophecies. Just living was itself an act of prophecy.

One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds

I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven't belonged to any company or any system. It isn't easy to live like this in Japan.

I realize now that the reality of things is not something you convey to people but something you make.

I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you. Just remember this: the gods give, and the gods take away. Even if you are not aware of having been granted what you posses, the gods remember what they gave you. They don't forget a thing. You should use the abilities you have been granted with the utmost care.
