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, Kitchen

Mieko Kawakami
“Then there are the real bastards, like my ex,” she shook her head. “He went around, patting himself on the back, like he’s so much better than all those men. ‘I know the pain that women feel, I respect women. I’ve written papers about it, I know where all the landmines are. My favorite author is Virginia Woolf’ and all that . . . So fucking what, though, right? How many times did you clean the house last month? How many times did you cook? How many times did you go grocery shopping?” I laughed.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Haruki Murakami
“Have you ever had that feeling—that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?”
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Banana Yoshimoto
“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, Kitchen

Donatella Di Pietrantonio
“Sulla via del ritorno la osservavo, di nuovo in cammino davanti a me. Frenavo le gambe, accordando l'andatura alla sua. Le erbacce della scarpata la graffiavano e non le sentiva. A momenti deviava invece verso la linea di mezzeria, senza accorgersi del pericolo. Un clacson l'ha fatta trasalire, prima che io avessi il tempo di correggere la sua traiettoria. La mia pena si é di colpo cambiata in rabbia, mi ha incendiato dentro. Eccola lí, la madre dolorosa di quello scapestrato. Era tutta per lui, chiuso tra le tavole di legno. Non aveva niente per me, che sopravvivevo. Di certo quando mi aveva data, creatura di pochi mesi, non si era ridotta cosí. L'ho raggiunta e superata, ho continuato senza voltarmi indietro a guardare se si salvava dalle macchine. Se qualcuno doveva proteggerla, non ero io.”
Donatella Di Pietrantonio, L'Arminuta
