“Just as cats don’t have any sense of time, loneliness must not exist f...” — Genki Kawamura Quote

“Just as cats don’t have any sense of time, loneliness must not exist for them either. There’s simply the time you spend alone and the time you spend with others.”

“Every day people sleep, wake up, work, and eat according to the established set of rules we call time. In other words, we set our lives by the clock. Human beings went through the trouble of inventing rules that imposed limits on their lives, boxing them up into hours, days, and years. And then they invented clocks to make time’s rule over us even more precise.”

“Since we were college students when we were together, all of our dates took place in the confines of our tiny town. We never went farther afield. We just did laps around town, as if we were playing an endless game of Monopoly. And yet we were never bored.”

“You used to get so excited about music and novels. It was as if the world had suddenly transformed. I liked you best when you talked so passionately.”

“As you go on with your life, always remember the things that are good in you. They're your gifts. As long as you have these things, you'll find happiness, and you'll make the people around you happy.”

“Holding out was a quirk in human nature and those who lived in the Last Minute had found not only was there no penalty in lateness but often a bonus not granted the timely.”

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

“Dicono che due particelle possono avere un legame così forte da cambiare direzione nello stesso istante, a un milione di chilometri di distanza. Una danza cosmica che supera il tempo e lo spazio. Non sono abbastanza intelligente da sapere se è vero. Ma mi piace pensare che ogni momento possa essere così intrecciato, così unito per sempre a un altro che il tempo e lo spazio perdono di importanza. Nessun inizio e nessuna fine, solo due punti di una lunga orbita che fanno continuamente ritorno.”

“Is déjà vu actually the specter of false timelines that never happened but did, casting their shadows upon reality?”

“If you keep waiting for the right time, it may never happen. Sometimes you have to make the most of the time you have.”
