Image
With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.
Haruki Murakami
Image
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
Image
Each person feels pain in his own way, each has his own scars.
Haruki Murakami
Image
People lose fifty million skin cells every day. The cells get scraped off and turn into invisible dust, and disappear into the air. Maybe we are nothing but skin cells as far as the world is concerned.
Haruki Murakami
Image
You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.
Haruki Murakami
Image
You throw a stone into a deep pond. Splash. The sound is big, and it reverberates throughout the surrounding area. What comes out of the pond after that? All we can do is stare at the pond, holding our breath.
Haruki Murakami
Image
But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much.

The facts and techniques or whatever they teach you in class isn't going to be veryuseful in the real world, that's for sure.
Haruki Murakami
Image
No matter what you tell me, no matter how legitimate your reasons, I can never just forget about you, I can never push the years we spent together out of my mind. I can't do it because it really happened, they are part of my life, and there is no way I can just erase them. That would be the same as erasing my own self.
Haruki Murakami
Image
If I stayed here, something inside me would be lost forever—something I couldn't afford to lose. It was like a vague dream, a burning, unfulfilled desire. The kind of dream people have only when they're seventeen.
Haruki Murakami
Image
With luck, it might even snow for us.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality!
Haruki Murakami
Image
You live by yourself for a stretch of time and you get to staring at different objects. Sometimes you talk to yourself. You take meals in crowded joints. You develop an intimate relationship with your used Subaru. You slowly but surely become a has-been.

Image
Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.
Haruki Murakami
Image
This place is too calm, too natural--too complete. I don't deserve it. At least not yet.

two people can sleep in the same bed and still be alone when they close their eyes

I love pop culture -- the Rolling Stones, the Doors, David Lynch, things like that. That's why I said I don't like elitism.
Haruki Murakami

Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you--you should control them.
