Quote by Kikuko Tsumura

“Nobody's life was untouched by loneliness; it was just a question of whether or not you were able to accept that loneliness for what it was. Put another way, everyone was lonely, and it was up to them whether they chose to bury that loneliness through relationships with other people, and if so, of what sort of intensity and depth.”

“What is real and what is not? In this world is there really something like a wall separating reality from the unreal? I think there might be. No, not might - there is one. But it's an entirely uncertain wall. Depending on circumstances and the person, its texture, its shape transforms. Like some living being (page 399).”
