"Love can transform us. It can be a healing force or a disaster, a tidal wave, a tornado. It can burn and scar us or heal our scars. It can be the ghost that haunts us, or the best friend who reads our every thought. Love may arrive like an angel of mercy, a fairy with raven wings or a hairy beast that will tear us apart limb from limb, kill and savor us down to the bones."

-- Francesca Lia Block

“The fact that you see salarymen reading manga and ***** on the trains and being unafraid, unashamed or anything, is something you wouldnâ€™t have seen 30 years ago, with people who grew up under a different system of government. They would have been far too embarrassed to open a book of cartoons or dirty pictures on a train. But thatâ€™s what we have now in Japan. We are a country of children.”
