As a literature major, I’ve spent many years collecting notable quotes and memorable lines — a hobby I’ve always loved in my free time. Recently, I came across a powerful quote from my favorite Japanese actress (Amami Yuki):


When asked why she doesn’t want to get married and prefers exercising, she says staying single and active makes her happier—after all, "Men may betray you, but muscles won’t."


This is the most powerful and inspiring quote I've ever heard.

Amami Yuki (b. 1968) is best known for her roles in numerous Japanese detective dramas. She often plays the role of a police officer, attorney, or investigator. One of her most famous series is "Emergency Interrogation Room"(緊急取調室)(see the poster above).

I'd recall a line from Fahrenheit 451, "A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?" It is a deadly upper cut in the very face of socities in which populistic ignorence is highly promoted.
