In Sugamo, Louie asked his escort what had happened to the Bird. He was told that it was believed that the former sergeant, hunted, exiled and in despair, had stabbed himself to death.
The words washed over Louie. In prison camp, Watanabe had forced him to live in incomprehensible degradation and violence. Bereft of his dignity, Louie had come home to a life lost in darkness, and had dashed himself against the memory of the Bird. But on an October night in Los Angeles, Louie had found, in Payton Jordan's words, "daybreak." That night, the sense of shame and powerlessness that had driven his hate the Bird had vanished. The Bird was no longer his monster. He was only a man.
In Sugamo Prison, as he was told of Watanabe's fate, all Louie saw was a lost person, a life beyond redemption. He felt something that he had never felt fro his captor before. With a shiver of amazement, he realized that it was compassion.
At that moment, something shifted swiftly inside him. It was forgiveness, beautiful and effortless and complete. For Louie Zamperini, the was was over. ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
The words "I should have done this back then" are a curse. Whenever they come up, they tangle around your heart and keep you from moving. They bring up all the baggage you carry and dull your emotions. From this point on is a domain where your emotions can't be dull... "I want to get faster", "I want to beat him", "This is fun"... "I want to move forward". You need to have only pure feelings like that, if you want to reach that domain! ~ Wataru Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Wataru Watanabe
I don't want our relationship to end like this. You're one of the very few friends I have, and it hurts not being able to see you. When am I going to be able to talk to you? I want you to tell me that much, at least. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
I'm not a big star in Japan. I'm an actor. I have a very normal life. Four days a week, I cook at home. A star doesn't do that. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
We as children went up the mountain to find feed for livestock, like goats, cows and horses, and because in the winter time we would light the fire in the house, we would climb the mountain to collect firewood as well. Because of that, I suppose I became used to climbing mountains. ~ Tamae Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Tamae Watanabe
With the advent of winter, her eyes seemed to take on a greater transparency, a transparency that lead nowhere. Occassionally, for no particular reason, Naoko would gaze into my eyes as if searching for something. Each time I was filled with odd sensations of lonliness and inadequecy. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
I could do just about anything if somebody made me. But I don't have an image of the one thing I really want to do. That's my problem now. I can't find the image ... I'm standing still, and I can't find the image.
- Toru ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
From the moment that Watanabe locked eyes with Louie Zamperini, an officer, a famous Olympian, and a man for whom defiance was second nature, no man obsessed him more. ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
Watanabe would later admit that in the beginning of his life in exile, he had pondered the question of whether or not he had committed any crime. In the end, he laid the blame not on himself but on "sinful, absurd, insane war." He saw himself as a victim. ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
Do you know the story of the monkeys of the shitty island?" I asked Nobory Wataya.
He shook his head, with no sign of interest. "Never heard of it".
"Somewhere, far, far away, there's a shitty island. An island without a name. An island not worth giving a name. A shitty island with shitty shape. On this shitty island grow palm trees that also have shitty shapes. And the palm trees produce coconuts that give off a shitty smell. Shitty monkeys live in the trees, and they love to eat these shitty-smelling coconuts,after which they shit the world's foulest shit. The shit falls on the ground and builds up shitty mounds, making the shitty palm trees that grow on them even shittier. It's an endless cycle."
I drank the rest of my coffee.
"As I sat here looking at you," I continued, " I suddenly remembered the story of this shitty island. What I'm trying to say is this. A certain kind of shittiness, a certain kind of stagnation, a certain kind of darkness, goes on propagating itself by its own power in its own self-contained cycle. And once it passed a certain point, no one can stop it -even if the person himself want to stop it. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
I have no sense of myself as a sex symbol at all. But the meaning of sex symbol might be a little different in Japan to elsewhere. The Japanese version seems to come with a stronger emphasis on a sort of grownup or mature male charm. And if that's the case, then I guess I'm happy to hear it. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
It's the most extraordinary and saddest thing, the amount of talent out there not being seen. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
I knew I should be doing some serious thinking, but I had no idea how to go about it. And, to tell the truth, thinking was the last thing I wanted to do. The time would come soon enough when I had no choice in the matter, and when that time came I would take a good long time to think things over. Not now, though. Not now. ~ Toru Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Toru Watanabe
I have climbed Everest from the Nepal route and the China route. The other routes are too hard for me. So I don't think I can climb Everest again. ~ Tamae Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Tamae Watanabe
There are always many sides to the truth. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
I'll just be the first to say that Ken [Watanabe] should be a national treasure in Japan, because he is an unbelievably talented actor. You couldn't find more of a gentleman. He's sweet, he's kind and he's extremely thoughtful in the work that he does. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
Like Naokuo, I'm not really sure what it means to love another person. Though she meant it a little differently. I do want to try my best though. I have to, or else I won't know where to go. Like you said before, Naoko and I have to save each other. It's the only was for us to be saved! ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
If the script is good, the cast and director good, I'll go anywhere. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
I'm going bald. I'm having a major problem with it. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
What a terrible thing it is to wound someone you really care for and to do it so unconsciously. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
Being satisfied with the status quo means you are not making progress ~ Katsuaki Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Katsuaki Watanabe
I've got a big mole on my butt. It's true. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
Each director is different. Clint Eastwood and Chris Nolan are completely different, and I need to adjust to the story and character and the director and just my duty as an actor. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
Well, only Japanese may understand it, but I'm like a goat or something that likes high places. ~ Tamae Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Tamae Watanabe
Back in the 60s, San Francisco artists lived in communes. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
There's no end to the process of learning about the Toyota Way. I don't think I have a complete understanding even today, and I have worked for the company for 43 years. ~ Katsuaki Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Katsuaki Watanabe
Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
I go to see the clothes [I designed] in the shops, and of course they're not perfect, and I see only the imperfections. But it doesn't mean it's a failure-you just think, I wish it could be better than this. Sometimes I cannot achieve what I really want to do in just one collection, so in the following collection I do it again. There are certain things I've been working on for three years. ~ Junya Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Junya Watanabe
About half the scripts sent to me feature characters I just can't identify with, particularly one-dimensional businessmen or, if it's a comedy, some absurd 10-year-old Japanese stereotype, some role related to IT or business ... There's no point in getting mad about it; it's just the way things are. ~ Ken Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Ken Watanabe
I still feel like there are a lot of things in me that people haven't seen. My soul hasn't been bared yet. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
Where Watanabe and I are alike is we don't give a damn if nobody understands us ... That's what makes us different from everybody else. They're all worried about whether the people around them understand them. But not me, and not Watanabe. We just don't give a damn. Self and others are separate. ~ Haruki Murakami
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Haruki Murakami
Yeah, I went to ACT for a while. It was great. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
The reason for not getting married was that I just didn't have a partner to get married to. Climbing mountains was more attractive to me than marriage, or other fun things like that. ~ Tamae Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Tamae Watanabe
There's something in the moment when you can make them laugh or cry and show and incredibly compassionate side of life. I find that a really exemplary way to live. ~ Gedde Watanabe
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Gedde Watanabe
From my travel blog @http://www.lwmcferrin.com/travel
When faced with disaster, the best medicine is laughter. ~ Linda Watanabe McFerrin
Korehira Watanabe quotes by Linda Watanabe McFerrin
I want to direct. It's something that I know I'll be really good at. ~ Gedde Watanabe
