Haruki Murakami
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
Haruki Murakami
All over the world people have developed their own ideas about what's right and wrong in life, but so long as you aren't harming others or the Earth, it's your choice when you decide how you want to live your life - Yours and yours alone. Life's no piece of cake, mind you, but the recipe's my own to fool with.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.
Haruki Murakami
Start making excuses and there's no end to it. I can't live that kind of life.
Haruki Murakami
Understanding' is merely the sum total of our misunderstandings.
Haruki Murakami
How much do you love me?' Midori asked. 'Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter,' I said.
Haruki Murakami
The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?
Haruki Murakami
Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.
Haruki Murakami
I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.
Haruki Murakami
I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than you realize.
Haruki Murakami
There's an essential order you have to follow in everything. It's a way of showing respect, following everything in the correct order.
Haruki Murakami
No, I don't want your money. The world moves less by money than by what you owe people and what they owe you. I don't like to owe anybody anything, so I keep to myself as much on the lending side as I can.
