Banana Yoshimoto Quotes

I should have told her at the time. I could have taken a deep breath, looked away, and forced myself to say it Picture Quote #1

Here in this ocean, in the midst of all this water, with the red flags on those distant buoys flapping in the sea breeze, I find myself unable to treat our house in Tokyo as anything but a dream Picture Quote #1

Every time I look into his eyes I just want to take the ice cream or whatever I've got in my hand and rub it into his face. That's how much I like him Picture Quote #1

I held the feeling in my heart; the urge to discuss it died out. There was all the time in the world. In the endless repetition of other nights, other mornings, this moment, too, might become a dream Picture Quote #1

Truly great people emit a light that warms the hearts of those around them. When that light has been put out, a heavy shadow of despair descends Picture Quote #1

Truly happy memories always live on, shining. Over time, one by one, they come back to life Picture Quote #1

I saw the sky and sea and sand and the flickering flames of the bonfire through my tears. All at once, it rushed into my head with tremendous speed, and made me feel dizzy. It was beautiful. Everything that happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy Picture Quote #1

Ultimately, though, it’s living people that frighten me the most. It’s always seemed to me that nothing could be scarier than a person, because as dreadful places can be, they’re still just places; and no matter how awful ghosts might seem, they’re just dead people. I always thought that the most terrifying things anyone could ever think up were the things living people came up with Picture Quote #1

As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. 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

We live like the lowliest worms. Always defeated - defeated we make dinner, we eat, we sleep. Everyone we love is dying. Still, to cease living is unacceptable Picture Quote #1

May the memory of this moment, here, the glowing impression of the two of us facing each other in this warm, bright place drinking lovely hot tea, help save him, even a little bit Picture Quote #1

The sky was incredibly far away, and beautiful enough to make a person wonder why our hearts are never so free Picture Quote #1

I had been walking in silence for so long, I had almost forgotten what my own voice sounded like. My knees were tired; my toes were beginning to ache Picture Quote #1

I really believe that no matter how old people get, they tend to change in certain ways depending on how people treat them - they change their colors Picture Quote #1

In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity. If I stand on the very spot, one says to oneself, like a prayer, might I feel the pain he felt? They say that on a visit to an old castle or whatever, the history of the place, the presence of people who walked there many years ago, can be felt in the body. Before, when I heard things like that, I would think, what are they talking about? But I felt I understood it now Picture Quote #1

What was important wasn't the fireworks, it was that we were together this evening, together in this place, looking up into the sky at the same time Picture Quote #1

I was happy. I loved the night, I loved t so much it almost hurt. In the night everything seemed possible. I wasn't sleepy at all Picture Quote #1

Recognizing how totally ignorant you are is the only honest way to deal with people who've been through something traumatic Picture Quote #1

When someone tells you something big, it's like you're taking money from them, and there's no way it will ever go back to being the way it was. You have to take responsibility for listening Picture Quote #1

Everything in life has some good in it. And when something awful happens, the goodness stands out even more - it's sad, but that's the truth Picture Quote #1

But I have my life, I'm living it. It's twisted, exhausting, uncertain, and full of guilt, but nonetheless, there's something there Picture Quote #1

Why were we so far apart, even when we were together? It was a nice loneliness, like the sensation of washing your face in cold water Picture Quote #1

It occurred to me that if I were a ghost, this ambiance was what I'd miss most: the ordinary, day to day bustle of the living. Ghosts long, I'm sure, for the stupidest, most unremarkable things Picture Quote #1

Why is it that everything I eat when I'm with you is so delicious?' I laughed. ‘Could it be that you're satisfying hunger and lust at the same time? Picture Quote #1
