In any case, though, I believe that I have no been fair to you and that, as a result, I must have led you around in circles and hurt you deeply. In doing so, however, I have led myself around in circl...
In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment.
If you try to use your head to think about things, people don't want to have anything to do with you
If you really want to know what's happening here and now, you've got to use your own eyes and your own judgment.
If writers only wrote about things everybody knew, what the hell would be the point of writing?
If they invent a car that runs on stupid jokes, you could go far.
I've always liked libraries. They're quiet and full of books and full of knowledge.
I've always done whatever I felt like doing in life. People may try to stop me, and convince me I'm wrong, but I won't change.
I'm scared, she said. These days I feel like a snail without a shell. I'm scared too, I said. I feel like a frog without any webs. She looked up and smiled. Wordlessly we walked over to a shaded part...
I'm just sad. You were so nice to me when I was having my problems, but now that you're having yours, it seems there's not a thing I can do for you. You're all locked up in that little world of yours,...

I have been told I've got a darkish personality. A few times. Takahashi swings his trombone case from his right shoulder to his left. Then he says, It's not as if our lives are divided simply into lig...
I gazed up at the sky. I was in a tiny boat, on a vast ocean. No wind, no waves, just me floating there. Adrift on the open sea....A tiny boat cut loose from the fiction of the ship.
