Banana Yoshimoto Quotes

People who are going to get along really well know it almost as soon as they meet. You spend a little while talking and everyone starts to feel this conviction, you’re all equally sure that you’re at the beginning of something good. That’s how it is when you meet people you’re going to be with for a long time Picture Quote #1

At that moment I had a thrilling sharp intuition. I knew it as if I held it in my hands: In the gloom of death that surrounded the two of us, we were just at the point of approaching and negotiating a gentle curve. If we bypassed it, we would split off into different directions. In that case, we would forever remain just friends Picture Quote #1

I wonder what it felt to move to a country where you didn’t grow up. I had thought about that often since my sister got married. Do you become a character in a story native to that land, or do you, somewhere in your heart, want to return to your homeland Picture Quote #1

When was it I realized that, on this truly dark and solitary path we all walk, the only way we can light is our own? Although I was raised with love, I was always lonely. Someday, without fail, everyone will disappear, scattered into the blackness of time Picture Quote #1

Things look different depending on your perspective. As I see it, fighting to bridge those gaps isn’t what really matters. The most important thing is to know them inside and out, as differences, and to understand why certain people are the way they are Picture Quote #1

You have the nicest window, you know? None of the others can even compete. It´s not flashy like the others, or bleary – your window gives of this nice, quiet light Picture Quote #1

I love feeling the rhythm of other people’s lives. It’s like traveling Picture Quote #1

Her eyes were those of someone who’s just fallen in love, someone who sees nothing but her lover, someone who has no fear of anything. The eyes of someone who believes that every dream will come true, that reality will move if you just give it a push Picture Quote #1

If you don’t say what you’re thinking, you end up lying when you really need to speak up Picture Quote #1

To the extent that I had come to understand that despair does not necessarily result in annihilation, that one can go on as usual in spite of it, I had become hardened. Was this what it means to be an adult, to live with ugly ambiguities? I didn’t like it, but it made it easier to go on Picture Quote #1

In the uncertain ebb and flow of time and emotions, much of one’s life history is etched in the senses. And things of no particular importance, or irreplaceable things, can suddenly resurface in a café one winter night Picture Quote #1

This is what it means to be loved... when someone wants to touch you, to be tender Picture Quote #1

Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated Picture Quote #1

I spent most of my time thinking, because I didn’t have enough energy to do anything else Picture Quote #1

No matter what, I want to continue living with the awareness that I will die. Without that, I am not alive Picture Quote #1

It didn't matter whether he was nearby or far away. His image would drift up into your mind just when you least expected it, shocking you, making your chest pound. Making your heart ache Picture Quote #1

You have the nicest window, you know? None of the others can even compete. It´s not flashy like the others, or bleary - your window gives of this nice, quiet light Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows that hidden pull is there, but we go on living our lives, pretending we don't. We keep our gazes fixed, day after day, on the things we want to see Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there are people in this world who love their fountain pens with every fiber of their being - and that's very sad. If you're not in love with him, you can understand him Picture Quote #1

The room was so unearthly quiet, I lost all sense of time being divided into seconds. I felt that I was the only person alive and moving in a world brought to a stop Picture Quote #1

Just when one can't take anymore, one sees the moonlight. Beauty that seems to infuse itself into the heart: I know about that Picture Quote #1

I had the impression that her place was near mine, but even by bus it took about twenty minutes. She lived alone in an apartment house, square and white like a block of tofu, on the edge of town Picture Quote #1

She could warm up the air, and then gently blow it out, just like a lily. She smelled of a syrup made of boiled down despair Picture Quote #1

Why is it we have so little choice? We live like the lowliest worms. Always defeated - defeated we make dinner, we eat, we sleep. Everyone we love is dying. Sill, to cease living is unacceptable Picture Quote #1

Once you've recognized your own limits, you've raised yourself to a higher level of being, since you're closer to the real you Picture Quote #1

I felt how important the simplest things were, like feeling proud, finding something funny, stretching yourself, retreating into yourself Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down Picture Quote #1

Fate is a ladder on which you cannot afford to miss a single rung. To skip out on even one step would mean you'll never make it to the top Picture Quote #1

In the uncertain ebb and flow of time and emotions much of one's life history is etched in the senses Picture Quote #1

Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won't let my spirit be destroyed Picture Quote #1
