Quote by Hiroki Kawakami

“I had been very grown-up when I was in primary school. But as I continued through secondary-school, I in fact became less grown-up. And then as the years passed, I turned into quite a childlike person. I suppose I just wasn’t able to ally myself with time.” quote by Hiroki Kawakami — Download Open image
