More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts.
Haruki Murakami
People want to be bowled over by something special. Nine times out of ten you might strike out, but that tenth time, that peak experience, is what people want. That's what can move the world. That's art.
Haruki Murakami
To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts.
Haruki Murakami
It's not me but the world that's deranged.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

Haruki Murakami
When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.
Haruki Murakami
Most people are not looking for provable truths. As you said, truth is often accompanied by intense pain, and almost no one is looking for painful truths. What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. Which is where religion comes from.
Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
Haruki Murakami
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
Haruki Murakami
So this was how secrets got started, I thought to myself. People constructed them little by little.
Haruki Murakami
An unhealthy soul requires a healthy body.
Haruki Murakami
Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.
Haruki Murakami
I'm still not sure I made the right choice when I told my wife about the bakery attack.But then,it might not have been a question of right or wrong. Which is to say that wrong choices can produce right results, and vice versa. I myself have adopted the position that,in fact, we never choose anything at all. Things happen. Or not.
Haruki Murakami
I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
