Haruki Murakami
Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
Haruki Murakami
You are 27 or 28 right? It is very tough to live at that age. When nothing is sure. I have sympathy with you.
Haruki Murakami
What I think is this: You should give up looking for lost cats and start searching for the other half of your shadow.
Haruki Murakami
You throw a stone into a deep pond. Splash. The sound is big, and it reverberates throughout the surrounding area. What comes out of the pond after that? All we can do is stare at the pond, holding our breath.
Haruki Murakami
Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
Haruki Murakami
Is action merely the incidental product of thought, or is thought the consequential product of action?
Haruki Murakami
Fate seems to be taking me in some even stranger directions.
Haruki Murakami
A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.
Haruki Murakami
