Quote by Satoshi Yagisawa; Eric Ozawa, trans.

“Once I'd gone outside I could see Wada through the window of the Saveur, sitting there with his chin resting in his hand, staring out. I bowed to him, thinking he might be looking at me, but he didn't seem to notice. I turned and started walking to the station. My body felt strangely light, like my feet were floating above the ground. *How weird,* I muttered to myself. When I looked up I saw the nearly full moon, missing just the sliver on the left, floating in the night sky.”

“The library guards everything and nothing at all. Books do not find value when they are written. They find value when they are read. Every book here is both worthless and priceless at the same time. It depends on who you ask. As I have not yet had the pleasure of reading half of the library's collection, I can say that only the books that I have taken from the shelves and stored in my heart are truly precious.”

“A small thought crosses my mind… Why am I putting myself through this again? But I shove that thought away! In fact, I completely turn off my inner critic. Tonight is my night and there is no room for self-doubt! I can’t allow fame to affect me. I won’t let the spotlight burn me. I just need to go out there and stay in the zone of my passion.”

“I'm not sure that my friend's father liked my book. In an attempt to save me from my own imagination, he wrote me a six-page letter pointing out all the physical impossibilities and imaginary rules I had come up with to be able to say whatever the book says. The letter proves that the true art is reading, not writing, and it is a beautiful testament of loyalty: a friend of his son's is a friend of his. Commenting on some sexual incidents described in the novel, he noted: Now I know why you and my son are friends." This is a statement of complicity. It tells me that if we knew each other, he would forgive my defects just as he does his son's.”

“Chase turns to me, his deep blue eyes drawing me in. “I am using this time to announce that Kay and I are running away together!” Chase embraces me as I jump into his arms. “There is no one better than Kay Vity. She is the only girl for me!” Chase carries me out of the break room as Veronica shatters cookies in her fist in anger. The sound of light clapping awakens me back to reality.”

“To conclude this preface I would just like to add that certainly aphoristic literature, although of extreme philosophical, artistic, and often even scientific value, is not loved by the general public, less and less accustomed to reading, meditating and thinking, perhaps because they realize, even following the advice of certain pseudo intellectuals, that to be happy and carefree you must not make your brain work too much, however I remain of the opposite opinion, precisely to safeguard our humanity, and therefore I agree with the following concept expressed by John Stuart Mill and for this reason I continue to strive to promote the aphoristic genre, here is the pearl of the great English philosopher: "It is better to be a discontented man than a satisfied pig, to be Socrates unhappy than a contented imbecile, and if the imbecile and the pig are of a different opinion it is because they see only one side of the question.”
