Tom BradyWhen I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It’s like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.
Haruki MurakamiIt is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman.
