Mieko Kawakami
“Beauty meant that you were good. And being good meant being happy. Happiness can be defined all kinds of ways, but human beings, consciously or unconsciously, are always pulling for their own version of happiness. Even people who want to die see death as a kind of solace, and view ending their lives as the only way to make it there. Happiness is the base unit of consciousness, our single greatest motivator.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Christina Lauren
“It never occurred to me that love could be anything other than all-consuming. Even as a child, I knew I never wanted anything less.”
Christina Lauren, Love and Other Words

“Without love and trust, resentment is the only thing that’s left.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

“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

Mieko Kawakami
“Writing makes me happy. But it goes beyond that. Writing is my life’s work. I am absolutely positive that this is what I’m here to do. Even if it turns out that I don’t have the ability, and no one out there wants to read a single word of it, there’s nothing I can do about this feeling. I can’t make it go away.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs
