Reaching the finish line, never walking, and enjoying the race. These three, in this order, are my goals.
Haruki Murakami
That's wrong, she declared. Everyone must have one thing that they can excel at. It's just a matter of drawing it out, isn't it? But school doesn't know how to draw it out. It crushes the gift. It's no wonder most people never get to be what they want to be. They just get ground down.
Haruki Murakami
In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Haruki Murakami
If I'm going to merely ramble, maybe I should just snuggle under the warm covers, think of Miu, and play with myself.
Haruki Murakami
There's a special feeling you get on a veranda that you just can't get anywhere else.
Haruki Murakami
If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.
Haruki Murakami
When people tell a lie about something, they have to make up a bunch of lies to go with the first one. ‘Mythomania’ is the word for it.
Haruki Murakami
