Every one of a hundred thousand cities around the world had its own special sunset and it was worth going there, just once, if only to see the sun go down.

“It isn’t easy to live a normal life, though. Parents, teachers, government — they all teach you how to live the dreary, deadening life of a slave, but nobody teaches you how to live normally.”
—Ryū Murakami, In the Miso Soup (1997)
