Quotes by Toshikazu Kawaguchi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“At the end of the day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn't change.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“Water flows from high places to low places. That is the nature of gravity. Emotions also seem to act according to gravity. When in the presence of someone with whom you have a bond, and to whom you have entrusted your feelings, it is hard to lie and get away with it. The truth just wants to come flowing out. This is especially the case when you are trying to hide your sadness or vulnerability. It is much easier to conceal sadness from a stranger, or from someone you don’t trust.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“I was so absorbed in the things that I couldn’t change, I forgot the most important thing.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold
