Tokyo Story 1953 quotes, page 2

Shukichi Hirayama

But if I had known things would come to this, I'd have been kinder to her while she was alive.

Noriko Hirayama

Sometimes I feel I can't go on like this forever. Often I wonder, when I can't sleep, what will become of me if I stay this way. Day passes and night comes, yet nothing happens, and I feel a kind of loneliness. My heart seems to be waiting for something.

Shukichi Hirayama

Until I came up to Tokyo, I was under the impression that my son was doing better. But I've found that he is only a small neighborhood doctor. I know how you feel. I'm as dissatisfied as you are. But we can't expect too much from our children. Times have changed. We have to face it. That's what I think.

Tomi Hirayama

What a treat to sleep in my dead son's bed.
