― Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 26: Goodbye Dragon World!

“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]

“What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Kind," said the boy.”
― Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

“The reader is the space on which all the quotations that make up a writing are inscribed without any of them being lost; a text's unity lies not in its origin but in its destination. Yet this destination cannot any longer be personal: the reader is without history, biography, psychology; he is simply that someone who holds together in a single field all the traces by which the written text is constituted…Classic criticism has never paid any attention to the reader; for it, the writer is the only person in literature…we know that to give writing its future, it is necessary to overthrow the myth: the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author. [Final passage in "The Death of the Author," in Image-Music-Text, by Roland Barthes, Trans. Stephen Heath (1977)]”
