Mieko Kawakami
“We’re all so small, and have such little time, unable to envision the majority of the world.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Mieko Kawakami
“Beauty meant that you were good. And being good meant being happy. Happiness can be defined all kinds of ways, but human beings, consciously or unconsciously, are always pulling for their own version of happiness. Even people who want to die see death as a kind of solace, and view ending their lives as the only way to make it there. Happiness is the base unit of consciousness, our single greatest motivator.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Orhan Pamuk
“Painting is the silence of thought and the music of sight.”
Orhan Pamuk, My Name Is Red

Mieko Kawakami
“If you want to know how poor somebody was growing up, ask them how many windows they had. Don't ask what was in their fridge or in their closet. The number of windows says it all. It says everything. If they had none, or maybe one or two, that's all you need to know.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs
