NOVALA TAKEMOTO

I know that many people kill off their real personality just to fit into this society, but why do we have to compromise? I never understood that. I decided to try to be myself and to live by my own values rather than those of others.

When I started writing, I thought nobody would understand the things that I liked. Then I began getting a lot of letters from people who said they were waiting for me to express what they felt they couldn't, so I kept writing.

There are so many awful things in this world, but I wanted readers to share with me the small, beautiful, enjoyable things. Things like cute clothes, beautiful art and pretty flowers; items that are overflowing with beauty. If you just become obsessed with your own problems, you miss these things. When you discover them, you become happy.

In my life I doubt if I will ever forget the sensation of your lips against mine

Obession makes everything possible

Compromise is low class. I don't have anything against the poor, but being low class is the root of all evil

Lolitas value independence and beauty above all else.

Lolitas do not recognize any authority. They follow only the values they have chosen for themselves, regardless of what anybody might say.

I have a, shall we say, morbid personality.

Humans are cowards in the face of happiness. It takes courage to hold on to happiness.

If two people are able to communicate their feelings without words you know it's true love

I only had the right to sit in the shadows of the world,in complete silence. Whether I was laughed at, or told I was discusting, or thought of as unpleasant I would sit in the shadows.

How many people could embrace such disturbing imagery?

All I trust is the past. Things that have ended can't betray me.

An element of fantasy is needed when falling in love and I was unable to find the fantasy element with any of the male gender

Snatching happiness takes a lot more courage than enduring unhappiness

It's not like I'm all into nostalgia and history, it's just that I can't stand the way things are now

Restraining, saving, assuring your checkbook balance...what does all taht amount to? If I go broke one day I'll just take out loans

I am anti-social and have a dark personality. I have no redeeming qualties and nothing to offer, therefore I could never have what I wanted

Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity

I really had no idea you'd be this stupid but then again you were the only person that really got me

If you find something precious you have to hold onto it with all your might and never let it go inspite of whatever else you may lose, after all many people die without ever finding that's really precious to them.

You fueled my obession, even encouraged it and your selfishness ruined my life

The only things that erased my lonliness were written works
