More quotes by Haruki Murakami
You have to be practical. So every time I say, if you want to write a novel you have to be practical, people get bored. They are disappointed. They are expecting a more dynamic, creative, artistic thing to say. What I want to say is: you have to be practical.

Haruki Murakami
two people can sleep in the same bed and still be alone when they close their eyes
Haruki Murakami
I don't know -- maybe the world has two different kinds of people, and for one kind the world is this completely logical, rice pudding place, and for the other it's all hit-or-miss macaroni gratin.
Haruki Murakami
So what’s wrong if there happens to be one guy in the world who enjoys trying to understand you?
Haruki Murakami
It's like the Tibetan Wheel of the Passions. As the wheel turns, the values and feelings on the outer rim rise and fall, shining or sinking into darkness. But true love stays fastened to the axle and doesn't move.
Haruki Murakami
The pillow smells like the sunlight, a precious smell.
Haruki Murakami
Nothing so consumes a person as meaningless exertion
