The ADA when Fyodor and Nikolai first came to Yokohama
Dazai: They'll find Yokohama a bit overwhelming at first because of how advanced everything is here. All the cracker stuff we have.
Ranpo: They have some pretty cracker stuff where they come from too, Dazai.
Dazai (scoffs): Oh really? Like what? Disease? Poverty?
Ranpo: No, you can get this little woman made of wood right, you pull her apart and inside her there's an ever littler wooden woman and you pull the littler wooden woman apart and-

"Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."

But where is the antidote for lucid despair, perfectly articulated, proud, and sure? All of us are miserable, but how many know it? The consciousness of misery is too serious a disease to figure in an arithmetic of agonies or in the catalogues of the Incurable. It belittles the prestige of hell, and converts the slaughterhouses of time into idyls. What sin have you committed to be born, what crime to exist? Your suffering like your fate is without motive. To suffer, truly to suffer, is to accept the invasion of ills without the excuse of causality, as a favor of demented nature, as a negative miracle. . . .
Emil Cioran, A Short History of Decay
