Sofia’s Quotes

“Any dictionary, no matter how well made, was destined to go out of date. Words were living things.”
― Shion Miura, The Great Passage

“In the bleak years that followed, legends abounded as to what had become of her. There was talk of a girl at the bottom of the sea, or hiding somewhere else to prepare her revenge. The people, oppressed by the king's madness, made her into their secret heroine. That is the way stories are born, when small mysteries meet dark times.”
― Timothée de Fombelle, Le Livre de Perle

“Love (noun): a feeling of special affection for a particular member of the opposite sex that causes exhilaration and the desire to be alone with that person and share a sense of emotional intimacy, including, if possible, physical intimacy, so that one fluctuates between a state of despair when unfulfilled and, on rare occasions of fulfillment, one of delight.”
― Shion Miura, The Great Passage

“The dictionary’s very flaws made the exertions and enthusiasm of its compilers real to his imagination. The vast array of words—entry words, definitions, examples—was cold and impersonal at a glance, yet the book as a whole was the result of people puzzling over their choices.”
― Shion Miura, The Great Passage

“Gathering a huge number of words together with as much accuracy as possible was like finding a mirror without distortion. The less distortion in the word-mirror, the greater chance that when you opened up to someone and revealed your inner self, your feelings and thoughts would be reflected there with clarity and depth. You could look together in the mirror and laugh, weep, get angry.”
― Shion Miura, The Great Passage
