― Yasushi Kitagawa, The Lucky Ride

“The more I got to thinking, I realized I couldn’t end my life so easily. If I did, I would have left this world only using the luck that the previous generation saved for us. Who knows how many years I have left, but I have to devote the rest of my life to saving luck for the next generation.”
― Yasushi Kitagawa, The Lucky Ride

“Not every girl has a rape story. But almost every girl has an “I’m not sure, I didn’t like it, but I can’t quite call it rape” story.”

“Everybody is connected. And any one of their connections could be the start of a network that branches in many directions. If you wait for the right time to make connections, it might never happen, but if you show your face around, talk to people and see enough to give you the confidence that things could work out, then ‘one day’ might turn into ‘tomorrow.”
― Michiko Aoyama, What You Are Looking for is in the Library
