“Why does the night have to be so beautiful? As I walk through the night, I remember what Mitsutsuka said to me. “Because at night, only half the world remains.”
― Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

“Because this body is my last address.”
― Ocean Vuong, Time is a Mother

“Because what I did with my one short beautiful life— was lose it on a winning streak.”
― Ocean Vuong, Time is a Mother

“I’d been on my own for ages, and I was convinced that there was no way I could be any more alone, but now I’d finally realized how alone I truly was. Despite the crowds of people, and all the different places, and a limitless supply of sounds and colors packed together, there was nothing here that I could reach out and touch.”
― Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night
