Osamu Dazai — memorable quote from Bungo Stray Dogs 2

“Anything I would never want to lose is always lost. It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it. There's nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.”

“Man fears death and yet, at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by men in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire.”

“In this world, nobody is free. Even the flying birds are chained to the sky.”

“The weaker person is the more he gets hung up on other people's pain and then he self-destructs”

“In this small universe, it's an endless cycle of winning and losing until you begin losing your mind.”
