More quotes by Haruki Murakami
For a long time, she held a special place in my heart. I kept this special place just for her, like a Reserved sign on a quiet corner table in a restaurant. Despite the fact that I was sure I'd never see her again.
Haruki Murakami
I can be hurt, you know. I can get as exhausted as anybody else. I can feel so bad I want to cry, too.
Haruki Murakami
There's no war that will end all wars.
Haruki Murakami
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
Haruki Murakami
Overhead, the two moons worked together to bathe the world in a strange light.
Haruki Murakami
That's good. I was worried. Of course, I do have a few things wrong with me, but those are strictly problems I keep inside. I'd hate to think they were obvious to anybody else. Especially at the swimming pool in the summer.
Haruki Murakami
The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.
Haruki Murakami
I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
Haruki Murakami
But knowing what I don’t want to do doesn’t help me figure out what I do want to do. I could do just about anything if somebody made me. But I don’t have an image of the one thing I really want to do. That’s my problem now. I can’t find the image.
Haruki Murakami
I'll never see them again. I know that. And they know that. And knowing this, we say farewell.
Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Haruki Murakami
sometimes I think I've got this hard kernel in my heart, and nothing much can get inside it. I doubt if I can really love anybody.
Haruki Murakami
Ever since time began (when was that, I wonder?), it's been moving ever forward without a moment's rest. And one of the privileges given to those who've avoided dying young is the blessed right to grow old.
Haruki Murakami
Still, in the end, we all die just the same.
Haruki Murakami
This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there.
Haruki Murakami
Ordinary imperfect people, always choose similarly imperfect people as friends.
Haruki Murakami
Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams.
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
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
Time, of course, topples everyone in its path equally- the way that driver beats his old horse until it dies. But the thrashing we receive is one of frightful gentleness. Few of us even realize that we are being beaten.
Haruki Murakami
