More quotes by Haruki Murakami
You like to write. It's the single most important quality for someone who wants to be a writer. But not in itself enough.
Haruki Murakami
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes, however, this sense of isolation, like acid spilling out of a bottle, can unconsciously eat away at a person’s heart and dissolve it.
Haruki Murakami
If only I could fall sound asleep and wake up in my old reality!
Haruki Murakami
I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you. Just remember this: the gods give, and the gods take away. Even if you are not aware of having been granted what you posses, the gods remember what they gave you. They don't forget a thing. You should use the abilities you have been granted with the utmost care.
Haruki Murakami
In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion.
Haruki Murakami
Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about.
Haruki Murakami
I could disappear from the face of the earth, and the world would go on moving without the slightest twinge. Things were tremendously complicated, to be sure, but one thing was clear: no one needed me.
Haruki Murakami
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
Haruki Murakami
Things may look different to you than they did before. I've had that experience myself. But don't let appearances fool you. There's only one reality.
Haruki Murakami
There has to be pain. That's the rule.
Haruki Murakami
Don't let thoughts of me hold you back. Just do what you want to do. Otherwise, I might end up taking you with me, and that is the one thing I don't want to do. I don't want to interfere with your life.
Haruki Murakami
I may be the type who manages to grab all the pointless things in life but lets the really important things slip away.
Haruki Murakami
When I'm running I don't have to talk to anybody and don't have to listen to anybody. This is a part of my day I can't do without.
Haruki Murakami
Death leaves cans of shaving cream half-used.
Haruki Murakami
Passion can’t sustain itself forever.
Haruki Murakami
An empty shell. Those were the first words that sprang to mind. .... Something incredibly important - .. - had disappeared from Miu for good. Leaving behind not life, but its absence
Haruki Murakami
I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.
Haruki Murakami
At least he never walked.
Haruki Murakami
I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven't belonged to any company or any system. It isn't easy to live like this in Japan.
Haruki Murakami
