I like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki Murakami -
I have these realistic dreams and snap wide awake in the middle of the night. And for a while I can't work out what's real and what isn't... That kind of feeling. Do you have any idea what I'm saying?

If they invent a car that runs on stupid jokes, you could go far.
Haruki Murakami -
Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.
Haruki Murakami -
Why do people have to build such depressing places? I'm not saying that every nook and cranny of the world has to be beautiful, but does it have to be this ugly?
Haruki Murakami -
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
Haruki Murakami -
He appeared before me and departed. We were not able to speak to or touch each other. But in that short interval, he transformed many things inside me. He literally stirred my mind and body the way a spoon stirs a cup of cocoa, down to the depths of my internal organs and my womb.
Haruki Murakami -
I'd made it back to the land of the living. No matter how boring or mediocre a world it might be, this was it.
Haruki Murakami
-
You got to know your limits. Once is enough, but you got to learn. A little caution never hurt anyone. A good woodsman has only one scar on him. No more, no less.
Haruki Murakami -
The dead will always be dead, but we have to go on living.
Haruki Murakami -
In the end, like so many beautiful promises in our lives, that dinner date never came to be.
Haruki Murakami -
Everything was too sharp and clear, so that I could never tell where to start- the way a map that shows too much can sometimes be useless.
Haruki Murakami -
Let the world move along as it pleased. If it had any business with him, it would be sure to tell him.
Haruki Murakami -
Shimamoto had her own little world within her. A world that was for her alone, one I could not enter.

You know what it’s like when you’re trying to fall asleep and it only makes you more wide awake?
Haruki Murakami -
For some reason all the middle-aged women he knew were very efficient.
Haruki Murakami -
In dreams begins responsiblities.
Haruki Murakami -
I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.
Haruki Murakami -
If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one decent song. The rest is mass-produced garbage.
Haruki Murakami -
One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds.
Haruki Murakami
-
For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesnt begin at all.
Haruki Murakami -
You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? And you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much? I always think about that when something painful comes up. Now I just have to polish these off, and everything'll be OK. Life is a box of chocolates. I suppose you could call it a philosophy.
Haruki Murakami -
If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit.
Haruki Murakami -
It is a lonely life sometimes, like throwing a stone into the deep darkness. It might hit something, but you can’t see it. The only thing you can do is to guess, and to believe.
