Quote

I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn't so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward.

To love someone, why do you need society's approval and permission?
Ai Yazawa
Image
If my tears spilled spontaneously at that moment it’s because I immediately understood that what was happening, like in a dream, was the treat you had prepared for me I felt your friendship much stronger than if you had thanked me a million times that what pleased and touched me.

Nana...how come being happy and making your dreams come true are two different things? Even now, I still don't know why.
Ai Yazawa
Image
I feel the same way about all my friends. To me, the exact relationship between me and someone else doesn't matter much. But people want to label everything... So I guess I seem indifferent in that way.

It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn't hear anything about Nana. But now that I know you better I know you wouldn't say anything.
Ai Yazawa
Image
We didn't say good bye. But we knew it would be the end if we were apart. There was no reason to call or write letters. As it would have been meaningless, if we couldn't hold each other tight.
Ai Yazawa
Image
I might cry tomorrow, but I may be smiling the day after. That's enough. That's the way life is. If I don't lose hope - tomorrow will come. Tomorrow will come if we don't lose hope... I learned that from Nana. But rainy days still make my cheeks wet with tears, even now. It was pouring, on that rainy day.

Maybe I’m just farsighted. The further away something is, the better I can see it but once it gets close, I lose sight of it.

Image
The more my dream are fulfilled the quicklier they become realities losing their shine.
Ai Yazawa
Image
The loneliness caused by not hearing Ren's voice... I felt it deep in the night. I felt it deeper than anyone else. Even now at times I look back. In this ordinary life without Ren, I think my life with him was like a dream. Especially on a snowy night like this. On a night as cold as this. Someone keep this guy warm for me, please.

Even if you fall on the runway, I wouldn't blame you. It would mean that we made a mistake in choosing you.
Ai Yazawa
Image
Don't say the words I wanted to hear from Ren.

People like hurting each other but loving is not a waste.
Ai Yazawa
Image
The longer we live the more weight we carry in our hearts.
Ai Yazawa
Image
I am glad I met you and I am glad to say that.
Ai Yazawa
Image
We are all farsighted, we give importance to those things that are far from us, while neglecting the things that are close to us... only to realize their value later when they are out-of-reach again.
Ai Yazawa
Image
Right now I am full of greed and vanity, so I cannot live with you like before. But may be we can meet like this. I think just being together and talking would be nice. But when we grow old, when greed and vanity will be completely gone, when I will be tired of singing can I return to that place too?
Ai Yazawa
Image
Even now, sometimes on street corners... when I meet someone, I see your shadow. I'm sure that even now, you're still wearing that man's cologne... so you can sleep, even alone.
Ai Yazawa
Image
Are you living everyday so that even if the end were to come you’d have to regrets?
Ai Yazawa
Image
People say love can be developed, but in the end, the only person you love is yourself. That's why you choose to love someone who can please you the most.
