Mieko Kawakami
“Because we’re always in pain, we know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else.”
Mieko Kawakami, Heaven

Sappho
“someone will remember us
I say
even in another time”
Sappho, If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho

Mieko Kawakami
“You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" She exhaled through her nose. "It's really simple, I promise. Why do people think this is okay? Why do people see no harm in having children? They do it with smiles on their faces, as if it's not an act of violence. You force this other being into the world, this other being that never asked to be born. You do this absurd thing because that's what you want for yourself, and that doesn't make any sense.....I know how this sounds. You think I sound extreme, or detached from reality. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is real life. That's what I'm talking about - the pain that comes with reality. Not that anyone ever sees it...Most people go around believing life is good, one giant blessing, like the world we live in is so beautiful, and despite the pain, it's actually this amazing place”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Mieko Kawakami
“When I start to feel emotional about something, I can't tell if I'm actually feeling that way. What if it's just something somebody wrote in a book? Or maybe a line or a performance from some movie... Either way, I get this feeling like I'm quoting somebody else's work.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Mieko Kawakami
“I was so scared of being hurt that I'd done nothing. I was so scared of failing, of being hurt, that I choose nothing. I did nothing.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night
