Haruki Murakami Quotes
I go back to the reading room, where I sink down in the sofa and into the world of The Arabian Nights. Slowly, like a movie fadeout, the real world evaporates. I'm alone, inside the world of the story. My favourite feeling in the world.

The old age comes to live again in the new. Poetry is never as unified as when it diversifies.
