I understand the harsh feelings and sentiments from my opponents and their supporters because I myself have been defeated twice in my political life in the past and I understand very well it is hard to accept your own failure. ↗

A man's sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness. ↗

The man who indulges us in this natural passion, who invites us into his heart, who, as it were, sets open the gates of his breast to us, seems to exercise a species of hospitality more delightful than any other. No man, who is in ordinary good temper, can fail of pleasing, if he has the courage to utter his real sentiments as he feels them, and because he feels them. ↗

Senti, i sentimenti non sono gocce di pioggia. Non cadono dal cielo, non sono qualcosa che non si riesce a distinguere da tutto il resto. Abbi fiducia in me, se ci riesci. Li rintraccerò. Qui c'è tutto, e non c'è niente. Troverò quello che cerco. ↗

— Haruki Murakami
