(Yujiro Nakamura)

Anime pilgrims who hanker, loving to be loved, if you want to rejoice in Him dying, reborn in Others. There never divide or “your” or “my”. (G. Guarini)
My desire is to check out the joint! Whether you nigger, acrobat or still rests deep in the maternal womb, echoing your light singing in the yard, or move your raft in the glow of the evening. (F. Werfel)
I am a sinner, I’m a saint. I am loved and betrayed. I have no joys that are not even yours, pains that are not yours. I, too, my name is “I”. (Kamala Das)
