Manazuru QUOTES

1 " I’m scared. What are we doing here, in this place?” I ask.
“Oh, it’s always like this, we’re just living our lives”. "

― Hiromi Kawakami , Manazuru

2 " Момо выглядит куда более уверенной в себе, нежели я. В ней есть убежденность в том, как правильно жить дальше. Эта убежденность существует, пока дочь не знает, что стоит на краю пропасти. "

5 " Over time, I have come to feel forsaken. I didn't used to feel this way. I was fine. On my own, with another person, with many people, I was fine, always. Not now. I can't get used to it. My body can't get used to it. Being alone, being three, as soon as I feel I have finally grown accustomed to the atmosphere of a given moment, someone steps away, or joins the group, and the air changes; it takes time for me to get used to the change. "

― Hiromi Kawakami , Manazuru

6 " It is hard to be ordinary. Extraordinary things abound. But the extraordinary usually can't be sustained. Sooner or later, it breaks. Beyond the break it is easy. Keeping it ordinary is hardest of all. "

― Hiromi Kawakami , Manazuru

7 " You don't think about the things you have. Only when they are gone do you begin. "

― Hiromi Kawakami , Manazuru
