Quotes by Sonoko Machida (?)

“It's hard to know what's inside a person. If you judge people only by their words and faces, you miss the really important things. But then, what should we do instead? I think it's best to let people's actions speak for themselves.”
― Sonoko Machida, The Convenience Store by the Sea
