Quote by Genki Kawamura

“Além disso, os seres humanos insistem em manter os gatos como animais de estimação, apesar da nossa angústia em relação à mortalidade, mesmo sabendo que os gatos morrerão muito antes de nós, causando aos donos uma dor incalculável. (...) Se olharmos bem para a questão, a morte de um gato não é muito diferente da morte de um ser humano.”

“Há um limite para quão bem nos conhecemos a nós próprios. Não sabemos a impressão que causamos nos outros, não temos como conhecer o nosso próprio futuro e não podemos saber como será a nossa própria morte. E é por isso que precisamos dos gatos. É exatamente como disse a minha mãe: os gatos não precisam de nós; são os seres humanos que precisam dos gatos.”

“- Ludzkie wspomnienia zapisywane są na najróżniejsze sposoby. Zapamiętujemy książki takimi, jak je ostatnio widzieliśmy, a nowe wspomnienia tworzą nowe książki. Mogą się w nich pojawiać listy czy obrazki. Wspomnienia dzieci, które nie znają jeszcze liter, zachowywane są właśnie jako obrazki, ale także wspomnienia osób dorosłych mogą przybierać taką formę. Na przykład kiedy stajemy przed bardzo trudnymi momentami w życiu albo kiedy nie znajdujemy w sobie słów, którymi można daną sytuację opisać, albo kiedy próbujemy oddać za ich pomocą jakieś abstrakcyjne pomysły, szkice pomysłów.”

“A newspaper article predicted that we would no longer see any mountain peaks, seas, or adult bodies that were whole in twenty years. We had grown accustomed to these horrifying speculations, the same way we read about faraway countries with long and foreign-sounding names wrecked by war, earthquakes, storms, and massacres. There would be a moment when we fell into wordless grief, but with the turn of a page, we would get inundated by job and real-estate listings and restaurant advertisements again. People weren’t indifferent; it was just that, for those of us who lived here, the future always felt so surreal.”
