“There is no person you can shake that dust will not fall off of.”

“Before shaking the dust from off your feet, be sure to stomp real good on their faces.”

“He wanted to leave the past a few hundred miles down the road, shake it off like dust. But that ws the problem with the past. It kept finding him.”

“Hatred is like a long, dark shadow. Not even the person it falls upon knows where it comes from, in most cases. It is like a two-edged sword. When you cut the other person, you cut yourself. The more violently you hack at the other person, the more violently you hack at yourself. It can often be fatal. But it is not easy to dispose of. Please be careful, Mr.Okada. It is very dangerous. Once it has taken root in your heart, hatred is the most difficult think in the world to shake off.”

“..Dusting off your books means dusting your mind off.”

“You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person.”
