“When you give a gift to someone who is striving to achieve their dreams, you have to give them the most cherished thing you have. Some days that person who is chasing their dreams will not be able to find the strength to keep going. [...] When that happens the person gifted with the most precious thing will be able to fight on a little more. [...[ I want you to fight for your dreams.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before Your Memory Fades

“I was so absorbed in the things that I couldn’t change, I forgot the most important thing.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”
― Oscar Wilde

“surviving alone is much the same as dying alone”
