More quotes by Haruki Murakami
A theory is a battlefield in your head.
Haruki Murakami
Our memory is made up of our individual memories and our collective memories. The two are intimately linked. And history is our collective memory. If our collective memory is taken from us - is rewritten - we lose the ability to sustain our true selves.
Haruki Murakami
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
How much do you love me?' Midori asked. 'Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter,' I said.
Haruki Murakami
I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than you realize.
Haruki Murakami
The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.
Haruki Murakami
Knowledge and ability were tools, not things to show off.
Haruki Murakami
I guess I felt attached to my weakness. My pain and suffering too. Summer light, the smell of a breeze, the sound of cicadas - if I like these things, why should I apologize?
Haruki Murakami
People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.
Haruki Murakami
In dreams begins responsiblities.
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
Like you're riding a train at night across some vast plain, and you catch a glimpse of a tiny light in a window of a farmhouse. In an instant it's sucked back into the darkness behind and vanishes. But if you close your eyes, that point of light stays with you, just barely for a few moments.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know what it means to live.
Haruki Murakami
Problem is, once I sit at my desk and put all these down on paper. I realize something vital is missing. It doesn't crystallize - no crystals, just pebbles. And I'm not transported anywhere.
Haruki Murakami
I could disappear from the face of the earth, and the world would go on moving without the slightest twinge. Things were tremendously complicated, to be sure, but one thing was clear: no one needed me.
Haruki Murakami
I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven't belonged to any company or any system. It isn't easy to live like this in Japan.
Haruki Murakami
I think certain types of processes don’t allow for any variation. If you have to be part of that process, all you can do is transform—or perhaps distort—yourself through that persistent repetition, and make that process a part of your own personality.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know, I don’t feel right unless I’ve got the sea and mountains nearby. People are mostly a product of where they were born and raised. How you think and feel’s always linked to the lay of the land, the temperature. The prevailing winds, even.
Haruki Murakami
It was a small room with dim light coming in the window, reminiscent of old Polish films.
Haruki Murakami
Each person feels pain in his own way, each has his own scars.
Haruki Murakami
