“For her, the phrase the same as ever had two meanings. The first was an expression of relief and satisfaction that events hadn't taken a turn for the worse. The second was as a sign of self-deprecation, a means of mocking herself for remaining ever predictable, for never venturing forth from the fixed, rigid outlines of the life she had built.” — Atsuhiro Yoshida
