“And now that I’ve stopped looking, I’ve finally found it. Maybe the door will open for me.”

You were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you.

Since people cannot understand each other by just being honest. May be its impossible to live your whole life without getting hurt but don’t hurt the people close to you.

When dawn comes, that memory gradually distances…Tonight, I will bring it to sleep with me, so that will not be taken away by the waves of the night.

It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn’t hear anything about Nana. But now that I know you better; I know you wouldn’t say anything.

But even when the moon looks like it’s waning…it’s actually never changing shape. Don’t ever forget that.

Do you remember the time we met? The wind blew the snow about on the outside, the train moved, stopped, and then moved some more.

A woman’s happiness is in throwing everything away to live for love.

People can have lovers..they can have friends..they can be together..but when you think about it..you’ll see that originally..we’re alone

Why.. is human desire so unsatisfying?

Nana…how come being happy and making your dreams come true are two different things? Even now, I still don’t know why.

Having someone you love say “Thank you” is more rewarding than just having them say “I love you.

The longer we live the more weight we carry in our hearts.

Just don’t keep me in the dark about things. Otherwise, why am I with you?

For my 20th birthday in March, I’ll buy myself a present for doing my best. A one way ticket to Tokyo. All I need is my guitar and a pack of cigarettes.

Happiness doesn’t come in one form, it determined by your own heart.

To love someone, why do you need society’s approval and permission?

Motherhood cannot finally be delegated.

Reading is the work of the alert mind, is demanding, and under ideal conditions produces finally a sort of ecstasy.

During the golden age of movie stars, there were plenty of actresses who were deemed unattractive at the start of their careers, but struggled and finally appeared more beautiful and more iconic. Sometimes that idea of being truly iconic has something to do with not necessarily being beautiful and thus trying harder.

Truly there is no such thing as finality.

I failed, I think, seven [or] eight times before I finally got my first [championship]. It was just, you know, just about me growing up.

When I go onstage and am performing the way I want to… I finally feel like myself.

I would like to express the thoughts of a man who, having finally penetrated the partitions and ceilings of little countries, little coteries, little sects, rises above all these categories and finds himself a child and citizen of the Earth.

It’s nice to finally be my own person.
