Sayaka Murata
“Infecting each other like this is how we maintain ourselves as human is what I think.”
Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman

Sayaka Murata
“The normal world has no room for exceptions and always quietly eliminates foreign objects. Anyone who is lacking is disposed of.

So that’s why I need to be cured. Unless I’m cured, normal people will expurgate me. Finally I understood why my family had tried so hard to fix me.”
Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman

Sayaka Murata
“This society hasn't changed one bit. People who don't fit into the village are expelled: men who don't hunt, women who don't give birth to children. For all we talk about modern society and individualism, anyone who doesn't try to fit in can expect to be meddled with, coerced, and ultimately banished from the village.”
Sayaka Murata, コンビニ人間 [Konbini ningen]

Herbert Marcuse
“The intellectual is called on the carpet... Don't you conceal something? You talk a language which is suspect. You don't talk like the rest of us, like the man in the street, but rather like a foreigner who does not belong here. We have to cut you down to size, expose your tricks, purge you.”
Herbert Marcuse

Sayaka Murata
“When something was strange, everyone thought they had the right to come stomping in all over your life to figure out why.”
Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman
