I cannot go in living unless now I cling with all my force to love.

The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

[quoteasiread]

It was not so much shame that I experiened as the feeling that the actual world was an unfamiliar organism utterly unlike the world of my imagination.

The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

[quoteasiread]

Mama's goodness is unsurpassed. Whenever I think of her, I want to cry. I will die by way of apology to Mama.

The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

[quoteasiread]

Poverty—what's that? Money—what's that? I don't understand such things. I had always believed in love, in my mother's love, in that at least.

The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

[quoteasiread]

Poverty is nothing. As long as you love me, all I want is to spend my whole life by your side.

The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

[quoteasiread]

Even if you were in the inferno, I'd follow you down just to see you. I'm capable of things you can't imagine.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

To have paid such a high price to live, only to die!

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

By then, i was prugeaholic. Because she was mine and illness had set in. And because purging her was the cure.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

Unwanted by her, I felt my heart was being dragged around on a chain.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

No one will ever know about your tragedy, and the world eluded its responsibility ages ago. All that you know is that you've been crucified for something, and you're going to spend the rest of your life feeling like no one and nothing will help you, that you're in it alone. Your individual circumstances, which separate from everyone else, will keep you behind bars for life.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

How can the world be this cruel? A human being has only so much in them, and yet you must learn through experience, until you finally reach the maddening conclusion that the world wrote you off a long time ago, or accept the prison sentence that your crime is your existence.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

The whole word loves me, but what does it matter since I hate myself?

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

It was amid roses that it seemed I might live after all. I reached for those roses, and for a new life, only to discover a glass wall.

Notes of a Crocodile, Qui Miaojin

[quoteasiread]

Cruelty and mercy are one and the same. Existence in this world relegates good and evil to the exact same status. Cruelty and evil are only natural, and together they are endowed with half the power and half the utility in this world. It seems I'm going to have to learn to be crueler if I'm to become the master of my own fate.

“Te amo, y te tengo miedo, y nunca te lo diré con mi voz verdadera, esta voz lenta, y grave, y triste. Por eso te escribo en un idioma que no conoces. Nunca me leerás y nunca sabrás de mi amor.”

If you want me, I'm yours, if not, let me know now, so I might learn to live without you.
