“Kwiaty. Wyrywane z korzeniami, zamykane w pudełkach, wystawiane na pokaz tylko po to, żeby wylądować chwilę później w koszu. Zapomniane błyskotki, chwilowe miłostki.
Jak mają w pełni rozkwitnąć w ziemi pełnej soli?”

“Na początku kobieta była Słońcem. Prawdziwą osobą.
Dzisiaj jest Księżycem, bladym, chorowitym Księżycem,
Zależnym od innych, odbijającym ich świetność.
Nadszedł czas, abyśmy odzyskały Słońce schowane w każdej z nas.”

“To wait. In our lives we know joy, anger, sorrow, and a hundred other emotions, but these emotions all together occupy a bare one percent of our time. The remaining ninety-nine percent is just living in waiting. I wait in momentary expectation, feeling as though my breasts are being crushed, for the sound in the corridor of the footsteps of happiness. Empty. Oh, life is too painful, the reality that confirms the universal belief that it is best not to be born.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun
