People Quotes - Part 1 (50 person items)

"“It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.” "To get something important, people have to pay a price. That’s the rule the world operates by." "I’m not after a strength that’ll repel power coming from the outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that outside power. To stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things — unfairness, misfortune, sadness, mista"

"Wild Sheep Chase This mock-detective tale follows an unnamed Japanese man through Tokyo and Hokkaidō in 1978. The passive, chain-smoking main character gets swept away on an adventure that leads him on a hunt for a sheep that hasn’t been seen for years. The apathetic protagonist meets a woman with magically seductive ears and a strange man who dresses as a sheep and talks in slurs; in this way there are elements of Japanese animism or Shinto."
