A person's last moments are an important thing. You can't choose how you're born but you can choose how you die.

I'm all alone, but I'm not lonely.

If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.

Time flows in strange ways on Sundays, and sights become mysteriously distorted.

A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.

Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.

I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.

It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.

It's not me but the world that's deranged.

What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.

Forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past. You won't be able to forgive yourself for not doing things differently until you stop wishing things were different

Surely, the gods' judgment is certain. But as for us, we must be satisfied to 'come close' to those things, for we are men, who speak according to what is likely, and whose lectures resemble fables.

All contests are unfair

Most jobs today are still structured the same way they were 50 years ago, when most families had someone who could stay at home.

I believe everything has a solution.

I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.

My religion teaches me that a promise once made or a vow once taken for a worthy object may not be broken.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

You don't see the world as it is, you see it according to who you are.

I am as I am. The world is as it is. Whether I am content with that has very little to do with it.
