Sayaka Murata
“When I first started here, there was a detailed manual that taught me how to be a store worker, and I still don’t have a clue how to be a normal person outside that manual.”
Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman

Kyo Maclear
“Sometimes we falter not because the ground beneath our feet is unstable but because it's exhausting to keep moving, to keep trying, to keep performing the same actions again and again.”
Kyo Maclear, Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation

Meister Eckhart
“It is not outside us: it is all within.”
Meister Eckhart, The Kingdom of Heaven Within You, Vol 2: The Teachings of Meister Eckhart

Kyo Maclear
“One morning while standing at a café counter staring at the magnificently thick brows of the man making my coffee, I discovered one should not gaze too long at faces unless one is prepared to fall in love again. As I watched the warm air of the coffee machine steam his eyeglasses, as I noticed him squint behind the fog, as he made a flower pattern in the foam of my coffee, I felt overcome with love. Faces have a near-unwatchable intimacy, particularly in a world in which everything perishes in the end. It is difficult to look as we choose, without emotional consequence.”
Kyo Maclear, Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation

John Berger
“The inability to remember is itself perhaps a memory.”
John Berger, And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos
