“Well, we use words to communicate, right? Still, most of our words don’t actually get across. You know what I mean? Well, our words might, but not what we’re actually trying to say.

― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

I couldn't move; in fact, I was being pulled away, slipping further every second from the blinding light of that reality.”
― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

“the poisonous world flows into my mouth like water into that of a drowning man”
