Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.
- Sometimes I get so immersed in my own company, if I unexpectedly run into someone I know, it’s a bit of a shock and takes me a while to adjust.
- We took away your art because we thought it would reveal your souls. Or to put it more finely, we did it to prove you had souls at all.
- What I’m not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.
- You have to accept that sometimes that’s how things happen in this world. People’s opinions, their feelings, they go one way, then the other. It just so happens you grew up at a certain point in this process.
- You say you’re sure? Sure that you’re in love? How can you know it? You think love is so simple?
- All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma.
- The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it.
- The problem, as I see it, is that you’ve been told and not told. You’ve been told, but none of you really understand, and I dare say, some people are quite happy to leave it that way.
- It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed.
