This is what it means to be loved ... when someone wants to touch you, to be tender ... ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The ritual of our daily lives permeate our very bodies. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I got dressed to begin another day. Over and over, we begin again. (Kitchen, 103) ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity. If I stand on the very spot, one says to oneself, like a prayer, might I feel the pain he felt? They say that on a visit to an old castle or whatever, the history of the place, the presence of people who walked there many years ago, can be felt in the body. Before, when I heard things like that, I would think, what are they talking about? But i felt I understood it now. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I felt how important the simplest things were, like feeling proud, finding something funny, stretching yourself, retreating into yourself. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
the BTK Killer (which to me sounds more like something you order from a drive-thru window). ~ Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff
Yoshimoto quotes by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff
People aren't overcome by situations or outside forces. Defeat comes from within. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
If you're always angry, always yelling at people, ultimately that just means you depend on them. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The intensity of a person unafraid of death, at the end of his rope. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
On nights like this when the air is so clear, you end up saying things you ordinarily wouldn't. Without even noticing what you're doing, you open up your heart and just start talking to the person next to you - you talk as if you have no audience but the glittering stars, far overhead. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
There's someone I might be getting closer to, that's all. But it's not quite coming together yet. I think I'm not ready, either," I said. "Have you got ED?" she said. "Um, no, for a number of different reasons," I said, "but it might be something similar. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
these people, struggling so hard to impose a shape on a life when life has no shape, ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Truly happy memories always live on, shining. Over time, one by one, they come back to life. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The sky was incredibly far away, and beautiful enough to make a person wonder why our hearts are never so free. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Now only the kitchen and I are left. It's just a little nicer than being all alone. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
It was all your imagination. And imagination is sometimes worse than reality ... ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Could it actually be true that tears help people to heal? ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Just when one can't take anymore, one sees the moonlight. Beauty that seems to infuse itself into the heart: I know about that. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
When people start getting depressed there's just no end to it - things just seem to get worse and worse. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I'll never be able to be here again. As the minutes slide by, I move on. The flow of time is something I cannot stop. I haven't a choice. I go. One caravan has stopped, another starts up. There are people I have yet to meet, others I'll never see again. People who are gone before you know it, people who are just passing through. Even as we exchange hellos, they seem to grow transparent. I must keep living with the flowing river before my eyes. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Things are just things. They can't bring back the dead. it just makes me feel better. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I thought for a moment.
Isn't it strange how we unconsciously search for something that will make us cry, only when we want to, and only when we're not able to? ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
When you've fallen in love, broken up, lost a love one, and start getting older, everything seems the same. I couldn't tell what was good and what was bad, what was better and what was worse. I simply didn't want to have any more bad memories. I wished that time could stop, and summer will never come to an end. I felt vulnerable. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
She could warm up the air, and then gently blow it out, just like a lily. She smelled of a syrup made of boiled-down despair. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Most people are constantly perpetrating little acts of violence on others, even when they don't mean to. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Maybe I had been waiting for this. Maybe all I had been hoping for was a bed in which to be able to stop thinking, just for a little while, about what happened before and what would happen in the future. I was too sad to be able to sleep in the same bed with anyone; that would only make the sadness worse. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
in order to grab on to those tiny profits people studiously adopt another perspective, keeping their true opinions to themselves, and no one takes responsibility, everyone just huddles together on some middle ground, and it all gets less and less clear, yet in the end everyone ends up being crammed into a rigid, unyielding framework. I've seen the same story play out over and over again. But ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I mean it. When your light is out, Chihiro, I feel so alone I can hardly bear it."

Whenever Nakajima said my name, every single time, it sparkled like a treasure. I had no idea why. Wow - did you see how that flashed? Say it again for me, please!
Only I couldn't tell him that, so I simply replayed his voice, speaking my name, within me. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Listen kiddo, by the time you grow up you'll have collected a whole lot of this 'dirt of life' stuff, right, you won't know where it's coming from but it'll pile up, and clothes and pearls won't look as beautiful to you as they do now -- that's for sure. The problem is that dirt, see? You can't ever settle down in one place, you've got to live like you're always, always staring way off into the distance. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I had come to understand that despair does not necessarily result in annihilation, that one can go on as usual despite of it... ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
That resplendent space created by a piece of fiction can really expand the width of time... Clearly there is a spot somewhere inside our heads they records that feelings we had when we read the book, and it stays with us forever. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I was happy. I loved the night, I loved t so much it almost hurt. In the night everything seemed possible. I wasn't sleepy at all. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
If I were really in love, I don't think I could have said that. I probably would have tried to toy with his feelings a bit more, or maybe I would have had trouble finding the words. But all I felt then was a desire to help. And while I didn't yet know the reason, it frightened me much more to think of him getting hurt than it did to think of someone else getting hurt. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Nakajima's past would always be there, so the foundation could crumble at any moment. That's what happens, I realized, when people destroy other people. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Nothing exists in this world but me and my bed ... (p. 141). ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
As people we narrowly get by with our lives each day, energy from our soft, delicate actions appearing like cherry blossoms, only once, and once for a short while. Eventually petals fall to the ground. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I spent most of my time thinking, because I didn't have enough energy to do anything else. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Soon it would be all over. All of this would wither away, it would all disappear. We'd go our separate ways. Again and again this conviction crashed over us. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
He doesn't look like a gangster, but then he's not the office worker type, either ... some kind of entrepreneur maybe, or, - wait, I've got it! He looks like he writes manga! Either that or a chiropractor, I guess. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Just being myself made me terribly sad. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
When was it I realized that, on this truly dark and solitary path we all walk, the only way we can light is our own? Although I was raised with love, I was always lonely.
Someday, without fail, everyone will disappear, scattered into the blackness of time. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
All I wanted was to get through this as quickly as possible, to see the day when memories be just memories. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Things that don't matter at all to one person can hurt another so deeply it seems as bad as dying. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
From the moment we met, I as a butterfly that flew into that space that was his soul, a room where the light had begun to dim. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The night glittered brilliantly then. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
If you
or anyone on this train, for that matter
thought of life as a kind of train, instead of worrying only about your usual destinations, you'd be surprised how far you could go, just with the money you have in your wallet right now. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
To the extent that I had come to understand that despair does not necessarily result in annihilation, that one can go on as usual in spite of it, I had become hardened. Was this what it means to be an adult, to live with ugly ambiguities? I didn't like it, but it made it easier to go on. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Be sure to keep your tummy warm, try to relax, both your heart and your body, try not to get flustered. Live like a flower. You have that right. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
For ten years I had been protected, wrapped up in something like a blanket that had been stitched together from all kinds of different things. But people never notice that warmth until after they've emerged. You don't even notice that you've been inside until it's too late for you ever to go back
that's how perfect the temperature of that blanket is. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Perhaps there are people in this world who love their fountain pens with every fiber of their being - and that's very sad. If you're not in love with him, you can understand him. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I became part of the air that surrounded Sui, and breathed her incomprehensible sadness. I think that part of those feelings live within my soul. Burdened by bad karma, and a soul that beckoned such unfortunate fate, Sui used all the resources she had to make her way through love. I witnessed that. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The days I'd passed with my mom before she died were still there, it seemed, seared into the corners of my heart.
The atmosphere of the station brought it all back. I could see myself running to the hospital, glad to be seeing my mother again. You never know you're happy until later. Because physical sensations like smells and exhaustion don't figure into our memories, I guess. Only the good bits bob up into view.
I was always startled by the snatches of memory that I saw as happy, how they came.
This time, it was the feeling I got when I stepped out onto the platform. The sense of what it had been like to be on my way to see my mom, for her still to be alive, if only for the time being, if only for that day. The happiness of that knowledge had come back to life inside me.
And the loneliness of that moment. The helplessness. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
No, I just wanted to recapture the incredibly vivid love we'd had at first- the love I'd shared with the tall man standing next to me, with the man I adored. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I have these two different images of her etched into my memory: one as this idealized mother, and the other as a sort of pressure weighing down on me - obsessive, feminine love. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Living like that utterly convinced me of the extreme limitations of language. I was just a child then, so I had only an intuitive understanding of the degree to which one losses control of words once they are spoken or written. It was then that I first felt a deep curiosity about language, and understood it as a tool that encompasses both a single moment and eternity. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Hitoshi:
I'll never be able to be here again. As the minutes slide by, I move on. The flow of time is something I cannot stop. I haven't a choice. I go.
One caravan has stopped, another starts up. There are people I've yet to meet, others I'll never see again. People who are gone before you know it, people who are just passing through. Even as we exchange hellos, they seem to grow transparent. I must keep living with the flowing river before my eyes.
I earnestly pray that a trace of my girl-child self will always be with you.
For waving good-bye, I thank you. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
My fury was lofty, pure, cool. It was an emotion that none of these people, struggling so hard to impose a shape on life when life has no shape, could begin to understand. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
No one can survive childhood without being wounded. Everyone remembers at least one time when their parents rejected them, pushed them away, even though they may have still been in the womb, blind, and unable to speak. That's why, as adults, we all look for someone to become our parents again, and for someone to look after us in times of need. And we search for a person to live with who can provide the companionship we so desperately want. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Here in this ocean, in the midst of all this water, with the red flags on those distant buoys flapping in the sea breeze, I find myself unable to treat our house in Tokyo as anything but a dream. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
There are many, many difficult times, god knows. If a person wants to stand on her own two feet, I recommend undertaking the care and feeding of something. It could be children, or it could be house plants, you know? By doing that you come to understand your own limitations. That's where it starts. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
You have the nicest window, you know? None of the others can even compete. It´s not flashy like the others, or bleary – your window gives of this nice, quiet light. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
As well as the way he always said Itadakimasu, quietly, before he started eating. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
When you love someone, you want to know. Even about the things that are hard for them. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Don't you find that it … hurts, not letting even half of your emotions out? I see you've overcome your hatred for your parents with that easygoing love you were born with. And in the process you started thinking about things, and you ended up taking on this docile personality - but aren't you really more spirited and free, more spoiled, and extremely into sex? ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
in this society, things you'd think could only be bad jokes actually happen all the time. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
But if a person hasn't ever experienced true despair, she grows old never knowing how to evaluate where she is in life; never understanding what joy really is. I'm grateful for it. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Was that what it means to be an adult, to live with ugly ambiguities? ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Eriko raised me that way," he said, laughing. "If I didn't open the door for her, she'd get mad and refuse to get in the car."
"Even though she was a man!" I said, laughing.
"Right, right, even though she was a man. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Your love is different from mine. What I mean is, when you close your eyes, for that moment, the center of the universe comes to reside within you. And you become a small figure within that vastness, which spreads without limit behind you, and continues to expand at tremendous speed, to engulf all of my past, even before I was born, and every word I've ever written, and each view I've seen, and all the constellations, and the darkness of outer space that surrounds the small blue ball that is earth. Then, when you open your eyes, all that disappears.
I anticipate the next time you are troubled and must close your eyes again.
The way we think may be completely different, but you and I are an ancient, archetypal couple, the original man and woman. We are the model for Adam and Eve. For all couples in love, there comes a moment when a man gazes at a woman with the very same kind of realization. It is an infinite helix, the dance of two souls resonating, like the twist of DNA, like the vast universe.


Oddly, at that moment, she looked over at me and smiled. As if in response to what I'd been thinking, she said, "That was beautiful. I'll never forget it. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
But even in that very brief period of time I was made abundantly aware of the extent to which various things inside me had degenerated without my even knowing it. I'd always hated working, and I'd never cared much about the kinds of jobs I took or whether I had one or not or anything like that, and none of that had changed at all, it wasn't that...it was something like guts, the ability to move on to the next thing when I had to... ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I used to think that people are were supposed to be more strange, and dirty, and full of all sorts of emotions, pity and nobility, with infinite layers of complications. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
My loneliness was an important part of my own little universe, not some pathological disease that needs to be gotten [sic] rid of. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
When there's a plus, there's always a minus. If there's a powerful light, the darkness that is its opposite will be just as strong. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
But every time my thoughts reached this point, every time, my desire to speak would vanish. And so we remained precisely as we were, making no waves, at a standstill. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
This world of ours is piled high with farewells and goodbyes of so many different kinds, like the evening sky renewing itself again and again from one instant to the next-and I didn't want to forget a single one. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Time expands and contracts. When it expands, it's like pitch: it folds people in its arms and holds them forever in its embrace. It doesn't let us go so easily. Sometimes you go back again to the place you've just come from, stop and close your eyes, and realize that not a second has passed, and time just leaves you there, stranded, in the darkness ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
you find yourself face-to-face with the enormousness of the world as a whole. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
In the uncertain ebb and flow of time and emotions much of one's life history is etched in the senses. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
If a person hasn't ever experienced true despair, she grows old never knowing how to evaluate where she is in life; never understanding what joy really is. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
With a cold"
she spoke evenly, lowering her eyes a little
"now is the hardest time. Maybe even harder than dying. But this is probably as bad as it can get. You might come to fear the next time you get a cold; it will be as bad as this, but if you just hold steady, it won't be. For the rest of your life. That's how it works. You could take the negative view and live in fear: Will it happen again? But it won't hurt so much if you just accept it as a part of life." With that she looked up at me, smiling. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Her eyes were those of someone who's just fallen in love, someone who sees nothing but her lover, someone who has no fear of anything. The eyes of someone who believes that every dream will come true, that reality will move if you just give it a push. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I had been walking in silence for so long,I had almost forgotten what my own voice sounded like.My knees were tired;my toes were beginning to ache. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Why is it we have so little choice? We live like the lowliest worms. Always defeated - defeated we make dinner, we eat, we sleep. Everyone we love is dying. Sill, to cease living is unacceptable. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
These women lived their lives happily. They had been taught, probably by loving parents, not to exceed the boundaries of their happiness regardless of what they were doing. But therefore they could never know real joy. Which is better? Who can say? Everyone lives the way she knows best. What I mean by 'their happiness' is living a life untouched as much as possible by the knowledge that we are really, all of us, alone. That's not a bad thing. Dressed in their aprons, their smiling faces like flowers, leaning to cook, absorbed in their little troubles and perplexities, they fall in love and marry. I think that's great. I wouldn't mind that kind of life. Me, when I'm utterly exhausted by it all, my skin breaks out, on those lonely evenings when I call my friends again and again and nobody's home, then I despise my own life - my birth, my upbringing, everything. I feel only regret for the whole thing. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I really believe that no matter how old people get, they tend to change in certain ways depending on how people treat them - they change their colors. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
With Lizard, I felt overwhelmed by the desire to touch her skin, to kiss her, hold her, make love to her,no matter how it happened, I just had to have her, Lizard and no one else. Right then and there. Tears came to my eyes, I wanted her so much. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I wanted to hold everything in place with my thin little arm and weak spirit. I wanted to do what I could with my unreliable body to try and deal with the many scary things that were going to start happening from now on. I wanted to try. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
His smile was so bright as he stood in my doorstep that I zoomed in for a closeup on his pupils. I couldn't take my eyes off him. I think I heard a spirit call my name. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
The lake has all sorts of different faces. And so it's always fresh. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
It helps to fight authority with authority ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
That night, having wriggled down into my futon all alone, I found myself in the grips of a wrenching sadness. I was only a child, but I knew the feeling that came when you parted with something, and I felt that pain. I lay gazing up at the ceiling , feeling the sleek stiffness of the well-starched sheets against my skin. My distress was a seed that would grow into an understanding of what it meant to say goodbye. In contrast to the heavy ache I would come to know later on in life, this was tiny and fresh – a green bud of pain with a bright halo of light rimming its edges. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
beyond that, I couldn't say. There's no point thinking about the future. That ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
They could smile back and forth without speaking, like soldiers who had fought side by side. The ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
So, have you been enjoying yourself these days, Kazami?'
I'm having lots of fun.'
It was true. That made the sense of regret even keener, that this time in my life would soon be a thing of the past. I felt as if I could understand a little of what my mother had been through, and the feelings she may have had at different times. I wasn't a child anymore, and this made me feel awfully lonesome, and utterly alone. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I realized that the world did not exist for my benefit. It followed that the ratio of pleasant and unpleasant things around me would not change. It wasn't up to me. It was clear that the best thing to do was to adopt a sort of muddled cheerfulness. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I had the impression that her place was near mine, but even by bus it took about twenty minutes. She lived alone in an apartment house, square and white like a block of tofu, on the edge of town. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Just being with Nakajima made me feel as if we were detached from history, and had no particular age. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won't let my spirit be destroyed. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
I realized that from now on, my mom's life and mine would have to be completely, unmistakably different. Nothing about us was the same: the times we lived in, the ways we regarded the world, the things we valued. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Each one of us continues to carry the heart of each self we've ever been, at every stage along the way, and a chaos of everything good and rotten. And we have to carry this weight all alone, through each day that we live. We try to be as nice as we can to the people we love, but we alone support the weight of ourselves. ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
