Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Emily Bronte, “Wuthering Heights”

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister

If you work by reason, you grow rough-edged; if you choose to dip your oar into sentiment’s stream, it will sweep you away. Demanding your own way only serves to constrain you. However you looked at it, the human world is not an easy place to live.(translated by Meredith McKinney)/Approach everything rationally, and you become harsh. Pole along in the stream of emotion, and you will be swept away by the current. Give free rein to your desires, and you become uncomfortably confined. In a word, the human world is not an easy place to live.

Natsume Sōseki, “Kusa Makura”/”The Grass Pillow”/”The Three-Cornered World”

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun.

William Shakespeare, “Romeo and Juliet”

For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

Rosemonde Gerard

A pig who doesn’t fly is just an ordinary pig..

Porco Rosso

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.

Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister
