Quote by Banana Yoshimoto

“Volevo dire... se ci fosse qualcuno responsabile dell'andamento del mondo, Dio o qualcosa del genere, che al momento giusto dicesse 'Questo è troppo: è assolutamente inaccettabile', oppure 'Per quanto riguarda lui va bene così, può bastare', sarebbe molto bello. Ma qualcuno così non c'è. Peccato, se ci fosse saprebbe porre fine a molte cose. Invece nessuno lo fa. Dobbiamo pensarci noi. Per quante cose terribili possiamo vedere, non ci resta che pensare che tutto può accadere.”

“I should explain how difficult it is to keep trying to do better when there are so many people who just refuse to understand how hard it is. I should explain that I barely slept last night because I was so anxious about dinner and, even though I actually did quite well, I still felt like everyone was watching me, waiting for me to fuck up and ruin the day.”
