Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.
Haruki Murakami
There's no war that will end all wars.
Haruki Murakami
It's not me but the world that's deranged.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone just keeps on disappearing. Some things vanish, like they were cut away. Others fade slowly into the mist. And all that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock built when peace filled the world.
Haruki Murakami
When I was little, I had this science book. There was a section on 'What would happen to the world if there was no friction?' Answer: 'Everything on earth would fly into space from the centrifugal force of revolution.' That was my mood.
Haruki Murakami
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Sometimes when I think of life, I feel like a piece of driftwood washed up on shore.
Haruki Murakami
You have to dream intentionally. Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.
Haruki Murakami
Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about.
Haruki Murakami
If only I could fall sound asleep and wake up in my old reality!
Haruki Murakami
Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.
Haruki Murakami
Become like a sheet of blotting paper and soak it all in. Later on you can figure out what to keep and what to unload.
Haruki Murakami
If she did experience sex-or something close to it-in high school, I'm sure it would have been less out of sexual desire or love than literary curiosity.
Haruki Murakami
I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.
Haruki Murakami
I didn't have much to say to anybody but kept to myself and my books. With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw it's fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy.
Haruki Murakami
Give yourself five minutes to consider how you can turn a miserable situation to your benefit and that light bulb is going to click on.
