Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.

More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Once she was out of the car and gone, my world was suddenly hollow and meaningless.
Haruki Murakami
There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say two, tell her you like what she's wearing and three, treat her to really good food...If you do all that and still don't get the results you want, better give up.
Haruki Murakami
If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.
Haruki Murakami
I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do. To dream, to live in the world of dreams. But it doesn’t last forever. Wakefulness always comes to take me back.
Haruki Murakami
Certain kinds of knowledge rob people of their sleep.
Haruki Murakami
The whole terrible fight occured in the area of imagination. That is the precise location of our battlefield. It is there, that we experience our victories and defeats.
Haruki Murakami
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami
In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites. Reality, reality.
Haruki Murakami
Possibilities are like cancer. The more I think about them, the more they multiply, and there's no way to stop them. I'm out of control.
Haruki Murakami
People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.
Haruki Murakami
What makes us the most normal, said Reiko, is knowing that we're not normal.
Haruki Murakami
Time is too conceptual. Not that it stops us from filling it in. So much so, we can't even tell whether our experiences belong to time or to the world of physical things.
Haruki Murakami
They were each like a mirror for the other, reflecting the changes in themselves.
Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone just keeps on disappearing. Some things vanish, like they were cut away. Others fade slowly into the mist. And all that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
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
So many dreams, so many disappointments, so many promises. And in the end, they all just vanish.
Haruki Murakami
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Haruki Murakami
It was spring break, so the theater was always packed with high schools students. It was an animal house. I wanted to burn the place down.
Haruki Murakami
I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all.
Haruki Murakami
