"i found this book in the library some months back but never really started reading it, but the introduction itself had told me i needed to buy a physical copy to make notes- which i did. it's a really rich, complex text so i really do pray i don't give up on it" — May 09, 2026 01:32PM

“Words were necessary for creation. Kishibe imagined the primordial ocean that covered the surface of the earth long ago—a soupy, swirling liquid in a state of chaos. Inside every person there was a similar ocean. Only when that ocean was struck by the lightning of words could all come into being. Love, the human heart . . . Words gave things form so they could rise out of the dark sea.”
― Shion Miura, The Great Passage
