"One conversation with you saves me ten books. A gentleman dies for a friend who knows him, while a woman gets plastic surgery for the one she loves. What do you like about me? I like it when you stay far away. Being born is easy, being alive is easy. Living, though, isn't easy. Why sleep so long before death? You'll have plenty of time to sleep once you're dead. What is happiness? Happiness is a cat eating fish, a dog eating meat, and Ultraman beating up little monsters. Water can carry a boat, and it can also cook porridge. Diamonds last forever, but one is enough to bankrupt you." From the Quotations of a Shameless Man.
