― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Joanna Macy
“The heart that
breaks open can
contain the
whole universe.”

Kazuo Ishiguro
“The evening's the best part of the day. You've done your day's work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Jeffrey Eugenides
“Biology gives you a brain. Life turns it into a mind.”

― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day
