“Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Marianne had the sense that her real life was happening somewhere very far away, happening without her, and she didn't know if she would ever find out where it was or become part of it.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People

“At times a person will make eye contact with Marianne, a bus conductor or someone looking for change, and she’ll be shocked briefly into the realisation that this is in fact her life, that she is actually visible to other people. This feeling opens her to certain longings: hunger and thirst, a desire to speak Swedish, a physical desire to swim or dance.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People

“Hey, Nana...
people's feelings change easily...
what you see is a house of cards...
nothing's sure,
and nothing lasts forever.”
― Ai Yazawa
