1 Litre of Tears quotes “I really don’t want to say things such as ‘I want to go back as how things were before.’ I recognize how I am right now, and I will continue to live on.” – Aya “You’ve always encouraged me.

Arigatou Asou-kun.” – Aya “Suffer and suffer through, and there’s a rainbow colored happiness waiting on the other side. Do not rush it; do not be greedy. Don’t give up, because everybody takes a step at a time. It didn’t matter how insignificant, but I wanted to be useful to others.” – Aya “Live on. Live on forever.” – Aya “As I think about the past, the tears will come out. Reality is too cruel, too brutal. I don’t even have the right to dream.
