Quote by Keigo Higashino

“He wanted to know what the current trends were. What were people reading? What did I think about the decline in reading overall? I told him that the books aimed at children and teens that were selling were the ones the Ministry of Education had promoted as ‘library recommendations’, and that the decline in reading among children was largely the fault of their parents. ‘Parents these days don’t read books themselves, but they feel they should make their children read. Since they aren’t readers, they have no idea what to give their children. That’s why they cling to the recommendations from the Ministry of Education. Those books are all insufferably boring and, as a result, the kids learn to hate books; it’s a vicious circle, with no end in sight.”

“This is the fate which awaits many of the middle class and the wage-class. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to serve notice on these thieves, and highway robbers, sitting in high places of “honor” and “trust,” that by the eternal god of justice, and by the manhood in you, that you will not, in this land of plenty, allow your children to become the mere hirelings and dependents upon the sweet will of their children?”

“No matter our faith, we are all here on this earth for a reason and as such, we should act as one. Not with greed, but compassion and understanding. We should also learn that we are all different and do not all have the same looks, but we should also learn that we all suffer; we all bleed; we all want the same things for our children. And it is this last reason why we should adopt change. Not to further our beliefs, but to further the lives of our children. No god will come and aid us when we are too stubborn and set in our ways to change for the better. Greed will not feed your children, but the earth will if we let her. So I ask you this; "What will you give up so that your children may live in this world?" You do not need to give up your faith, but you will need to give up your greed.”
