“Love was a room that appeared when you stepped into it.”

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
“The light at night is special because the overwhelming light of day has left us, and the remaining half draws on everything it has to keep the world around us bright.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Donna Tartt
“That life - whatever else it is - is short. That fate is cruel but maybe not random. That Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn’t mean we have to bow and grovel to it. That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open. And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
