Quotes by Naoyuki Ochiai

There are flowers growing in hell. Lets go pick them!

Depending on each other and facing the difficulties that go with it takes a lot more effort than living on your own, separated from the rest of the world. Loving each other, hurting each other, over and over, until our death. All those things that seem so normal are actually incredibly difficult. To accomplish a normal life might be an achievement as great as writing a book that goes down in history!

What is happiness? What is a good life? Is it a life without suffering? Something like that doesnt exist... Life is filled with suffering and sorrow. So its no wonder that to those who fear suffering, the world seems like a living hell! And still...those who bravely keep going and try to push through this hell... Theyll find that its only a small stretch of the road to happiness. The truly great are those who never lose hope, even when thrown into hell... And as long as we have faith in ourselves, even hell itself can be a paradise!

Does this world feel like hell to you? Of course it does, because it is.

You wanted to show everyone you could write about the black heart of a killer. And all the while pretending you dont even have your own dark desires.

The Amida Buddha delivers those who recognize their own weakness and cowardice... Those who admit their own faults and above all, those who believe... A wholehearted trust in Amida Buddha gives peace of mind to those whove known despair. Even the most vicious and evil of sinners will attain salvation and be reborn in paradise... Even a piece of shit like me!

I get it. I havent seen much of the real world yet. But lets say I do get out there... and it turns out that its not even worth seeing? Or even worse.. what if its so ugly and cruel that I can barely stand to look? What if I only meet idiots and the depraved? Whats that going to teach me? What can I learn from that?

Great men are allowed to spill the blood of others.

Is it a crime to be strong? Thats something you might have asked. And I would have answered by asking the opposite question...Is it a crime to be weak?
