  • The temptation to give up is a common one, and nobody is exempt. Failure isn't something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it's a common human condition, we're somehow always surprised when it happens to us.

  • If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then Im one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then thats me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means Im no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I'm against the world.
