Osamu Dazai Quotes

When you find yourself looking ridiculous, reasoning isn’t worth a damn Picture Quote #1

For someone like myself in whom the ability to trust others is so cracked and broken that I am wretchedly timid and am forever trying to read the expression on people's faces Picture Quote #1

And I was incapable of living all by myself in those lodgings where I didn't know a soul. It terrified me to sit by myself quietly in my room. I felt frightened, as if I might be set upon or struck by someone at any moment Picture Quote #1

Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes Picture Quote #1

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive – those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood Picture Quote #1

Last year nothing happened the year before nothing happened and the year before that nothing happened Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem unaware even that they are deceiving one another Picture Quote #1

He could only consider me as the living corpse of a would-be suicide, a person dead to shame, an idiot ghost Picture Quote #1

At times everything grows misty and dark before my eyes, and I feel that the strength of my whole body is oozing away through my finger tips Picture Quote #1

Just because a person has a title doesn't make him an aristocrat. Some people are great aristocrats who have no other title than the one that nature has bestowed on them, and others like us, who have nothing but titles, are closer to being pariahs than aristocrats Picture Quote #1

It would seem that the more irresponsible and crafty one is, the more likely one is to have a talent for storytelling Picture Quote #1

I have always shook with fright before human beings. Unable as I was to feel the least particle of confidence in my ability to speak and act like a human being, I kept my solitary agonies locked in my breast. I kept my melancholy and my agitation hidden, careful lest any trace should be left exposed. I feigned an innocent optimism; I gradually perfected myself in the role of the farcical eccentric Picture Quote #1
