Jean’s Notes & Highlights

Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto

1 note & 3 highlights

There are people who choose to live their lives in filth; this is hard for me to understand. People who purposely do abhorrent things, just for the attention it draws to them, until they themselves are trapped. I cannot understand it, and ...more

i've been realizing these days that there is beauty in not understanding why people do horrible things and it used to eat away at me when i tried to understand them. but at the end of the day, ive realized your inability to understand these things only speaks to the softness of your own heart and the considerate way you approach life and the people around you

Jean’s Quotes

“If anyone on the verge of action should judge himself according to the outcome, he would never begin. Even though the result may gladden the whole world, that cannot help the hero; for he knows the result only when the whole thing is over, and that is not how he became a hero, but by virtue of the fact that he began.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
