“All stories are the sin of their weaver.”
“Above a certain size and level of prosperity, regional cities in Japan look alike. To discover what makes each one different, one has to sample the food and the sake, and stay long enough to see the patterns of life under the surface. Otherwise it can be hard to tell them apart. Wealth tends to smooth out the differences in the way people live. Life becomes standardized.Only in nature, in the mountains and valleys beyond the hand of man, are the real differences, the real uniqueness, preserved. There is something about the air in Hokkaido, a kind of richness that will never change. For better or worse, the only thing that really changes is people.”
Miyuki Miyabe, The Gate of Sorrows“Failure and disillusionment are realities, but ideologies are made of dreams. And dreams, it would seem, do not fade easily.”
