“It would be the saddest thing to me, princess. To walk separately from you, when the ground will let us go as we always did.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“The danger isn't the river's speed, friend, but its slowness.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“What Axl and I feel today in our hearts for each other tells us the path taken here can hold no danger for us, no matter that the mist hides it now. It's like a tale with a happy end, when even a child knows not to fear the twists and turns before. Axl and I would remember our life together, whatever its shape, for it's been a thing dear to us.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“What use is a god with boundless mercy, sir? You mock me as a pagan, yet the gods of my ancestors pronounce clearly their ways and punish severely when we break their laws. Your Christian god of mercy gives men licence to pursue their greed, their lust for land and blood, knowing a few prayers and a little penance will bring forgiveness and blessing.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant
