Haruki Murakami Quotes
In certain areas of my life, I actively seek out solitude. Especially for someone in my line of work, solitude is, more or less, an inevitable circumstance.

You could see it, too, as a kind of double-edged sword. It protects me, but at the same time steadily cuts away at me from the inside.
