Love Is A Christian Word, Anjin-san. Love

Isn’t It Only Through Laughter That We Become One With The Gods And Thus Can Endure Life And Can Overcome All The Horror And Waste And Suffering Here On Earth? …isn’t It Only Through Laughter We Can Stay Human?

How Beautiful Life Is And How Sad! How Fleeting, With No Past And No Future, Only A Limitless Now.

So Much Of 'normal, Civilized' Life Is Bull That You Can't Imagine... What Frightens You, Doesn't Frighten Me, What Frightens Me, You'd Laugh At.

I Write Short Stories. They May Appear Big In Size, But When You Consider It, They're Four Or Five Novels In One... In Return For Picking Up One Of My Books, I'm Trying To Give Them Value For Their Money... The Goal Of Writing Any Book Is To Create The Illusion That What You Are Reading Is Reality And You're Part Of It.

How Baffling It Was That Even The Most Cunning And Clever People Would Frequently See Only What They Wanted To See, And Would Rarely Look Beyond The Thinnest Of Facades. Or They Would Ignore Reality, Dismissing It As The Facade. And Then, When Their Whole World Fell To Pieces...they Would Tear Their Topknots Or Rend Their Clothes And Bewail Their Karma, Blaming Gods Or Kami Or Luck Or Their Lords Or Husbands Or Vassals-anything Or Anyone-but Never Themselves.
