Gigg’s Quotes

“What we shared was no more than a fragment of a time long dead. Yet memories remained, warm memories that remained with me like lights from the past. And I would carry those lights in the brief interval before death grabbed me and tossed me back into the crucible of nothingness.”
― Haruki Murakami, Wind/Pinball: Two Novels

“很多人錯把婚禮與婚姻解為相近詞，以為自己嚮往的是婚姻，實則是婚禮。婚禮是門闔上之前，是光天化日下相互承諾，是愛；婚姻是門闔上之後，是密室裡承諾的總檢討，是恆久忍耐又有恩慈。”
― 吳曉樂, 可是我偏偏不喜歡

“But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“Maybe I am just an empty, futile person, he thought. But it was precisely because there was nothing inside of me that these people could find, even if for a short time, a place where they belonged. Like a nocturnal bird seeks a safe place to rest during the day in a vacant attic. The birds like that empty, dim, silent place. If that were true, then maybe he should be happy he was hollow.”
― Haruki Murakami
