That’s what violence was: emotion leaking out from consciousness into the physical world, linking up with the muscles of the arms and shoulders and diaphragm and, inevitably, the face. Stifle emotion during an act of violence and the face becomes a blank, unreadable mask.
Ryū MurakamiIt was the face of a human being who’d been constructed exclusively of wounds. Not time or history or ambition, nothing but wounds. The face of a person who could probably kill someone without feeling anything whatsoever.

И вдруг поняла, что больше не любит этого человека. Поняла, что до сих пор волновалась не за себя, а за Хаси – чтобы он не стал убийцей. При этой мысли она испытала некоторое облегчение и одновременно подумала, что он уродлив. Что то глубоко застряло у нее в груди, потом выползло через горло и выплеснулось изо рта:
– Твой ребенок не умрет! – прокричала она и увидела, что Хаси теряет сознание. – Даже если ты выдерешь его из меня, даже если это будет только крошечный зародыш и его отправят в сточную канаву, он все равно выживет. Это ребенок человека, который выжил в камере хранения. Поэтому он будет жить и расти, а потом будет разыскивать тебя. К тому времени ты превратишься в муху, но тебе не удастся скрыться, и я обещаю, что он тебя раздавит – этот ребенок, который будет жить!

When you're a kid, getting lost isn't just an event or a situation, it's like a career move. You get this thrill of anxiety and fear and a feeling that you've done something that can never be undone.

Lady #1, Maki, had never once given any thought to what was really right for her in her life, simply believing that if she surrounded herself with super-exclusive things, she'd become a super-exclusive person.

When you're in an extreme situation you tend to avoid facing it by getting caught up in little details. Like a guy who's decided to commit suicide and boards a train only to become obsessed with whether he remembered to lock the door when he left home.

He invited me to his apartment in the wee hours one morning and pulled out a set of children's building blocks. It seems he used to ride around and around on the Yamanote Line with them, building castles on the floor of the train.

They needed a reason why a little kid would commit murder, someone or something to point the finger at, and I think they were relieved when they hit upon horror movies as the culprit. But there's no reason a child commits murder, just as there's no reason a child gets lost. What would it be - because his parents weren't watching him? That's not a reason, it's just a step in the process.

This was a factory, a sorting house. We were no different from dogs and pigs and cows: all of us were allowed to play when we were small, but then, just before reaching maturity, we were sorted and classified. Being a high school student was the first step toward becoming a domestic animal.

If everyone could feel as I felt at that moment, dressed in my preppy sweater and McGregor coat and about to set out on a little journey with my Bambi-eyed girlfriend on Christmas Eve, all conflicts in the world would vanish. Mellow smiles would rule the earth.
