Nobody's going to win all the time. On the highway of life you can't always be in the fast lane.
Haruki Murakami
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
...most people in the world don't really use their brains to think. And people who don't think are the ones who don't listen to others.
Haruki Murakami
That's evolution. Evolution's always hard. Hard and bleak. No such thing as happy evolution
Haruki Murakami
If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one decent song. The rest is mass-produced garbage
Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Haruki Murakami
Where I went in my travels, it's impossible for me to recall. I remember the sights and sounds and smells clearly enough, but the names of the towns are gone, as well as any sense of the order in which I traveled from place to place.
Haruki Murakami
The years nineteen and twenty are a crucial stage in the maturation of character, and if you allow yourself to become warped when you're that age, it will cause you pain when you're older.
Haruki Murakami
The passage of time will usually extract the venom of most things and render them harmless
Haruki Murakami
It is hard to be an individual in Japan.
Haruki Murakami
Overhead, the two moons worked together to bathe the world in a strange light.
Haruki Murakami
Some people can work their butts off and never get what they're aiming for while others can get it without any effort at all.
Haruki Murakami
