"All I know is that I’ve wasted all these years looking for
something, a sort of trophy I’d get only if I really, really did enough to
deserve it. But I don’t want it any more, I want something else now, something
warm and sheltering, something I can turn to, regardless of what I do,
regardless of who I become. Something that will just be there, always, like
tomorrow’s sky. That’s what I want now, and I think it’s what you should want
too. But it will be too late soon. We’ll become too set to change. If we don’t
take our chance now, another may never come for either of us."
~ Kazuo Ishiguro, When We Were Orphans, 2000
