Quotes 

• Oriku : A wife sees an image of her husband that no one else ever sees. To my eyes, his debauchery seems halfhearted. It's as if he's suffering to death over some secret torment and seeks desperately to distract himself in unhappy dissipation. He will not tell me what it is, but I wish to make his suffering my own and endure it with him under the same roof.

• Oriku : So long as Kuranosuke lives, I have no intention of leaving the Oishi family. No matter how people may revile him and rail against him, I will continue to trust in him and walk with him. As his wife, there can be no other path for me.
