Loups-Garous Quotes

“Humans aren’t that extraordinary. We’re small. The more humans tell themselves they are giant, the more I feel like I’m losing sight of myself. Humans are only as big as a human can be.”

“People die, even though other people worry. And people live despite not wanting to anymore. It doesn’t matter what goes on in your heart; it won’t make a difference in this world. I don’t believe that praying or begging or concentrating on something will make it come true. So instead of worrying, it’s better to actually do something.”

“No one wanted to know [other people] and no one wanted to be known. So no one knew anything about anyone else. They weren’t bothered by not knowing. They weren’t bothered by not being known. Moreover … They actually hated being known.”
― Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Loups-Garous

“There is no need for fairy-tale conclusions in the real world.”
― Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Loups-Garous

“No matter how sophisticated the reason, a murder is a murder, and similarly, it doesn’t matter how great the motive is, if you can’t kill, you won’t. But someone who can kill definitely will.”
― Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Loups-Garous

“The truth lay only in ideas. Yet people created the facsimile of a truth and pretended it was the real thing all the time. They told themselves that bumps were straight lines. If they were so able to convince themselves of the lie, why bother saying it was straight?”
― Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Loups-Garous
