"... Though this might be termed a 'you and I' relationship, if it is one that can break down just because you raise an objection, then it is not the sort of relationship you need to get into in the first place. It is fine to just let go of it. Living in fear of one's relationship falling apart is an unfree way to live, in which one is living for other people."

From 'THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED' by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga.

- No one had seen her undressed, no one even knows it she likes boys or girls, she won't tell anyone. People resent that about her, and Connell thinks that's why they tell the story, as a way of gawking at something they're not allowed to see.

the feminine urge to spend all your time in bookstores, to sip tea in cafes, to wear ribbons in your hair and always have a book in your bag
