“Let me say this—it's not that there's no value in sharing our experiences, but your grief is your own, and it's something that only you can carry, and it can't be compared to my grief. Nothing is better or worse. In the truest sense, I can't understand your pain, Amane-kun, nor can you understand mine. What I can do is accept your sadness and support you... just like you've done for me. I want to be there for you, and I want you to rely on me.”

“It is true that even then it [alcohol] was known and acknowledged that many were greatly injured by it; but none seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing, but from the abuse of a very good thing. The victims of it were to be pitied and compassionated, just as are the heirs of consumption and other hereditary diseases. Their failing was treated as a misfortune, and not as a crime, or even as a disgrace. If, then, what I have been saying is true, is it wonderful that some should think and act now as all thought and acted twenty years ago? and is it just to assail, condemn, or despise them for doing so? The universal sense of mankind on any subject is an argument, or at least an influence, not easily overcome. The success of the argument in favor of the existence of an overruling Providence mainly depends upon that sense; and men ought not in justice to be denounced for yielding to it in any case, or giving it up slowly, especially when they are backed by interest, fixed habits, or burning appetites.”

“In my judgment such of us as have never fallen victims [to alcoholism] have been spared more by the absence of appetite than from any mental or moral superiority over those who have. Indeed, I believe if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice—the demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some relative, more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity? He ever seems to have gone forth like the Egyptian angel of death, commissioned to slay, if not the first, the fairest born of every family.”

“Yet, when I closed the door, my mask would slip off, and you’d see underneath was a very different reality to what I’d just portrayed. You’d see the breath leaving my body, the light in my eyes fading, my smile would go, and you’d see that my very existence was harrowing.”
