More From Kazuo Ishiguro

The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. he swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. he struck for redwall! he struck against evil! he struck for martin! he struck for log-a-log and his shrews! he struck for dead guosim! he struck as methuselah would have wanted him to! he struck against cluny the scourge and tyranny! he struck out against captain snow's ridicule! he struck for the world of light and freedom! he struck until his paws ached and the sword fell from them!

There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
I think if i have one message, one thing before i die that most of the world would know, it would be that the event does not determine how to respond to the event. that is a purely personal matter. the way in which we respond will direct and influence the event more than the event itself.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

It’s quite easy to accidentally overhear people talking downstairs if you hold an upturned glass to the floorboards and accidentally put your ear to it.

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.

A departure from the truth was hardly ever known to be a single one.

Truth is not far away. it is nearer than near. there is no need to attain it, since not one of your steps leads away from it.
