― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Bird and bear and hare and fish, give my love her fondest wish.”
― Stephen King

“That is life. The past expires the moment it slips away.”
― NisiOisiN, NISEMONOGATARI, Part 1: Fake Tale

“The tools change, but our behaviour doesn't. People are people. While griping that young folks don't read enough and are therefore ignorant, older generations can be clueless in turn about smartphones and the internet.”

“Just like love isn't always requited, hating someone doesn't mean they'll hate you in turn. Sometimes, they won't even let you hate them in peace. People aren't comic book characters, you know. No human being is completely made of malice, nobody is evil through and through, no character looks the same from all angles, and hell, no character stays consistent at all times.”
― NisiOisiN, 花物語 [Hanamonogatari]

“It doesn't matter whether wishes come true or not, but I believe wishing for something in and of itself has merit. Regardless of whether or not it's possible to make it come true, I think it's good to understand yourself and what you wish for. If you don't know what you want to be like and what you'd like to see happen, your life will be filled with doubt.”
― NisiOisiN, 花物語 [Hanamonogatari]
