“The world doesn't hate you as much as you think it does.”
― Koji Suzuki, Birthday

“There was no more meaningless phrase in all of language than "Cheer up!" The only way to get someone to cheer up was to help them forget, and saying "cheer up" had quite the opposite effect, only reminding the person why he or she was depressed in the first place.”
― Koji Suzuki, Spiral

tags: cheer-up, depression, forgetting, grief

“Think! There's nothing certain in our future! All we can hope for is a vague continuation. But in spite of that, you're going to keep on living. You can't give up on life just because it's vague. It's a question of possibilities...”
― Koji Suzuki, Ring
