I think something's wrong with me. I make friends, then suddenly I can't bear to be with any of them. The other me, the cheerful and honest one... went away somewhere.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
1989 • dir. Hayao Miyazaki
“Over the next few hours you will ingest fat, salt, sugar, protein, bacteria, fungi, various plants and animals, and, at times, entire ecosystems. But I have to beg of you one thing. It's just one. Do not eat. Taste. Savor. Relish. Consider every morsel that you place inside your mouth. Be mindful. But do not eat. Our menu is too precious for that. And look around you. Here we are on this island. Accept. Accept all of it. And forgive. And on that note... food!”
