Osamu Dazai
“Heaven forbid if beauty were to have substance. Genuine beauty is always meaningless, without virtue”
Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

Han Kang
“Some memories never heal. Rather than fading with the passage of time, those memories become the only things that are left behind when all else is abraded. The world darkens, like electric bulbs going out one by one. I am aware that I am not a safe person.”
Han Kang, Human Acts

Satoshi Yagisawa
“I had too many ideals and ambitions for one person, and because of that, I ended up without a single one I could hold on to.”
Satoshi Yagisawa, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

Takashi Hiraide
“For me, Chibi is a friend with whom I share an understanding, and who just happens to have taken on the form of a cat.”
Takashi Hiraide, The Guest Cat

Banana Yoshimoto
“It struck me that family, work, friendships, engagements - all of these were like spiderwebs placed to protect people from the more distressing colors that lurked within themselves. The more safety nets you had under you, the less far you had to fall, and if you were lucky you might live your entire life without even noticing what was below.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Dead-End Memories: Stories
