Quotes by Ira Ishida (?)

“Exister dans ce monde, c'était se déchaîner. La vie, c'était la puissance de se déchaîner sans être retenu par aucune morale. Sans être restreint, contrôlé, réprimé. Une force qui débordait, qui se démultipliait, et qui continuait à marquer le rythme.
La vie, c'était une vitesse que personne ne pouvait limiter.”
― Ira Ishida, Ikebukuro West Gate Park III
