Ruan Baijie, who was dressed in her pajamas and was sprawled on top of the beddings, wriggled and whined, “Qiushi, it’s so cold, ah.” Lin Qiushi was still in the process of scrutinizing the curtains. He didn’t turn his head around after hearing her complaint. “Wear more clothes if you’re cold.” Ruan Baijie: “… You don’t have a girlfriend, do you?” Lin Qiushi was utterly baffled. “Girlfriend? Why do I need a girlfriend?”

Kaleidoscope of Death, Xi Zixu

I was traumatized by Flowers for Algernon and was forced to watch something about it again recently and just had to make this for it. It was such a good story but it was heart breaking and I cry at the thought of these two. Please enjoy this art and remember with me if you, too, know the pain of this story.

“They’d have fun….If he was willing to lie to her for the rest of their lives. If he was willing to use her love to live the good life.”

from The Stranger

By Albert Camus, Translated by Matthew Ward

I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only the words "yesterday" and "tomorrow" still had any meaning for me.

For an old man like Yoshiro, time after death no longer existed. The aged could not die; along with the gift of everlasting life they were burdened with terrible task of watching their great-grandchildren die.

Mumei's generation might create a new civilization—which they would leave to their elders.

The Emissary by Yoko Tawada (2014)

“It was something adults said all the time. “You'll change your mind when you're older. You never know what might happen. You'll feel differently one day.” As if we teenagers knew so little about ourselves that we could wake up one day a completely different person. As if the person we are right now doesn't matter at all.”

- Loveless, Alice Oseman (2020)

“I can still see it, lush and green and wild, in some tiny way enchanted, like Oberon’s wood, or Prospero’s island. There are things they don’t tell you about such magical places — that they’re as dangerous as they are beautiful.”

— M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

from The Stranger

By Albert Camus, Translated by Matthew Ward

He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out that it was the former that had condemned me. His response was that it hadn't washed away my sin for all that. I told him I didn't know what a sin was. All they had told me was that I was guilty. I was guilty, I was paying for it, and nothing more could be asked of me.
