Haruki Murakami Quotes

So I'm not crazy after all! I thought it looked good myself once I cut it all off. Not one guy likes it, though. They all tell me I look like a first grader or a concentration camp survivor.

I mean, I myself know at least two hundred and fifty unclassy girls with long hair. Really.
