Status Updates From Viața mea în librăria Morisaki

p31: "It’s funny. No matter where you go, or how many books you read, you still know nothing, you haven't seen anything. And that's life. We live our lives trying to find our way. It’s like that Santöka Taneda poem, the one that goes, 'On and on, in and in, and still the blue-green mountains."

p30: “The short version is I wanted to see the whole world for myself. I wanted to see the whole range of possibilities. Your life is yours. It doesn’t belong to anyone else. I wanted to know what it would mean to live life on my own terms."
