Quotes by Keiji Nakazawa (?)

“Este trigo hundirá sus vigorosas raíces en la tierra, soportará el frío, el viento y la nieve, y crecerá con fuerza apuntando al cielo. Con el tiempo, terminará coronándose de una espléndida espiga.
Aprended del trigo, hijos míos.”
― Keiji Nakazawa

“Human beings are foolish. Thanks to bigotry, religious fanaticism, and the greed of those who traffic in war, the Earth is never at peace, and the specter of nuclear war is never far away. I hope that Gen's story conveys to its readers the preciousness of peace and the courage we need to live strongly, yet peacefully.”
― Keiji Nakazawa, Barefoot Gen (Hadashi No Gen) Volume One
