Famous Banana Yoshimoto Quotes

“Aun así, la tristeza seguía rondándonos. Hiciéramos lo hiciésemos, enseguida afloraba la idea de que pronto tendríamos que separarnos, y nos sentíamos imponentes ante el inexorable paso del tiempo. Tras reírnos y divertirnos, nos quedábamos mohínos. Sin embargo, en ese momento éramos felices, e intentábamos pensar solo en el presente.”
