“In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way.

I think that in the essence of human civilization, we have the desire to become rich without limit, by taking the lives of other creatures.”

If we see generalities from the top of a mountain or from a plane, we feel it’s hopeless, but if we go down, there is a nice road running about fifty meters, we feel this is a nice road, and if the weather is fine and shining, we feel we can go on… Since the people in the community are cleaning up the river in my neighborhood, I join them when I have the time. A human can often be satisfied with the particulars. That’s what I like best these days.”
Hayao Miyazaki“Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.”
