Ai Kotani — memorable quote from Solanin

“"If you close down the way to your own path, it will always open up. That's why this isn't a song of ending. It is a new encounter. A song of beginning."”

“But maybe life isn't about counting all the things you've lost.”

“Even though everything is going to disappear, it isn't supposed to be meaningless. It's exactly because you know you're going to part ways, that now and only now is your only chance.”

“If I'm going to disappear no matter what, I at least want to leave them having fun and smiling.”

“Making sure I have no regrets... that would just be self-serving, nothing more. It's all right. I mean, this is a great memory in itself, right?”
