Banana Yoshimoto
“There are many, many difficult times, god knows. If a person wants to stand on her own two feet, I recommend undertaking the care and feeding of something. It could be children, or it could be house plants, you know? By doing that you come to understand your own limitations. That's where it starts.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen

Banana Yoshimoto
“On nights like this when the air is so clear, you end up saying things you ordinarily wouldn’t. Without even noticing what you’re doing, you open up your heart and just start talking to the person next to you—you talk as if you have no audience but the glittering stars, far overhead.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Goodbye Tsugumi

“As the flowers are all made sweeter
by the sunshine and the dew,
So this old world is made brighter
by the lives of folks like you.”
Bonnie Parker

Banana Yoshimoto
“Every time I look into his eyes I just want to take the ice cream or whatever I've got in my hand and rub it into his face. That's how much I like him.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Goodbye Tsugumi

Banana Yoshimoto
“Each one of us continues to carry the heart of each self we've ever been, at every stage along the way, and a chaos of everything good and rotten. And we have to carry this weight all alone, through each day that we live. We try to be as nice as we can to the people we love, but we alone support the weight of ourselves.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Goodbye Tsugumi
