Mieko Kawakami
“Memory's funny, isn't it? We remember some things out of nowhere, but so much of what happens, we never think about again.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Mieko Kawakami
“As I passed below the haloes of the green and red traffic signals, I was taken by this strange view of the evening, the city streets full of people— people waiting, the people they were waiting for, people out to eat together, people going somewhere together, people heading home together. I allowed my thoughts to settle on the brightness filling their hearts and lungs, squinting as I walked along and counted all the players of this game I would never play.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Keigo Higashino
“Your map has yet to be drawn. Which makes it impossible to decide where you’re going, much less how you’re going to get there.
Faced with a blank map, who wouldn’t feel lost? It would puzzle anyone.
But try this on for size. A blank map means you can fill it in however you like. It’s entirely up to you. Everything is open; the possibilities are limitless.
It’s a beautiful thing. I can only hope this helps you find a way to start believing in yourself, and to move through life with no regrets.”
Keigo Higashino, The Miracles of the Namiya General Store

Mieko Kawakami
“I thought about the books that I had looked through in the bookstore. It occurred to me that they were full of things that people wanted to say to other people, or things people wanted somebody to say to them.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Mieko Kawakami
“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
