“There is no literature anymore, there are just single books that arrive in bookstores, just as letters, newspapers, advertising pamphlets arrive in mailboxes.”
“I tried to make sense of the Four Books,until love arrived,and it all became a single syllable.”
“Advertising fillers in the newspaper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine, a bundle of ten-thousand-yen bills: when you feed 'em to the fire, they're all just paper.”
“Mercifully, the murderers arrived just then.”
“Events do not just happen, but arrive by appointment.”
“Oh, I'm not just going too far, I've arrived.”
