Frases célebres de Kazuo Ishiguro

“En realidad, ¿qué sentido tiene estar siempre especulando sobre lo que habría pasado si tal situación o tal otra hubiesen terminado de forma diferente? Acabaría uno loco. En cualquier caso, aunque me parece muy bien decir que hubo momentos trascendentales, sólo es posible reconocerlos al considerar el pasado. Evidentemente, cuando ahora pienso en aquellas situaciones, es cierto que me parecen momentos cruciales o únicos en mi vida; sin embargo, mi impresión mientras sucedían no era la misma. Más bien, pensaba que disponía de un número ilimitado de años, meses y días para resolver las diferencias que enturbiaban mi relación con miss Kenton, o que aún surgirían ocasiones en que podría remediar las consecuencias de algún que otro malentendido. Lo que sí es verdad es que, en aquella época, nada parecía indicar que a causa de unos incidentes tan insignificantes todas mis ilusiones acabarían frustrándose.
[Pág. 186]”

“Es posible que las palabras que dije aquella tarde en el templo de Tamagawa no fueran exactamente éstas, ya que he contado esa escena en otras ocasiones, y cuando una historia se repite varias veces, empieza a adquirir vida propia.”

“I don't really like to work with literary allusions very much. I never want to be in a position where I'm saying, "You've got to read a lot of other stuff" or "You've got to have had a good education in literature to fully appreciate what I'm doing."… I actually dislike, more than many people, working through literary allusion. I just feel that there's something a bit snobbish or elitist about that. I don't like it as a reader, when I'm reading something. It's not just the elitism of it; it jolts me out of the mode in which I'm reading. I've immersed myself in the world and then when the light goes on I'm supposed to be making some kind of literary comparison to another text. I find I'm pulled out of my kind of fictional world, I'm asked to use my brain in a different kind of way. I don't like that.”
