“...There are so many people out there with lives far less fortunate than ours, and if we got even a taste of what it's like to be them it would crush us, we'd never make it through. Because we're lucky, we've got things pretty easy. But that's not something we need to feel ashamed of.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, Dead-End Memories: Stories

“This feels good, I thought. I'm just happy he's here. I don't need him to be mine. I wanted to appreciate him the way I did giant trees in the park, which gave people shelter and relief but didn't belong to anybody.”

“Oh, and that people change. Especially the parts you wish would stay the same. And the parts you do wish would change, don't. I wish I knew how to make it the other way round. That's the kind of wisdom I want.”

“I’d always believed I didn’t take up a lot of space in this world—that it hardly mattered whether I was here or not. When a person left, the people around them got used to their absence. That was true enough. But when I pictured the world without me, and the people I loved living on in it, I couldn’t help but feel like crying.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, Dead-End Memories: Stories
