Quotes by Kikuko Tsumura  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Nobody's life was untouched by loneliness; it was just a question of weather or not you were able to accept that loneliness for what it was. Put another way, everyone was lonely, and it was up to them whether they chose to bury that loneliness through relationships with other people, and if so, of what sort of intensity and depth.”
Kikuko Tsumura, There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job

“Whoever you were, there was a chance that you would end up wanting to run away from a job you had believed in, that you would stray from the path you were on.”
Kikuko Tsumura, There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job

“There are pitfalls like that everywhere, lying in wait to trip you up. The more feeling you put into your work or whatever it is you're devoting yourself to, the more of them there are.”
