"Of course, a sign doesn't mean anything unless you know how to interpret it."
"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains."
"I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories."
"We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course."
"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains."
