“There is an old saying to the effect that when an elderly person dies a library disappears.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world, I believe, those who frequent bookshops and those who do not.”

“Non-fiction? I'm not keen on the word. No matter how much a writer tries to adhere to the truth, the notion of non-fiction is an illusion. All that can exist is fiction visible to the eye. And what is visible can also lie. The same applies to that which we hear and touch. Fictions that exist and fictions that don't exist- that's the level of difference, in my opinion.”
― Riku Onda, The Aosawa Murders
