More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Once she was out of the car and gone, my world was suddenly hollow and meaningless.
Haruki Murakami
As a novelist, you could say that I am dreaming while I am awake, and every day I can continue with yesterday's dream. Because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and I have to adjust them to make the story work. But, in principle, the original dream does not change.
Haruki Murakami
But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.
Haruki Murakami
But intolerant,narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host,change form,and continue to thrive. They're a lost cause, and I don't want anyone like that coming in here.
Haruki Murakami
What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.
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
Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us.
Haruki Murakami
No matter what form the relationship might take, he was the only person she could picture sharing her life with.
Haruki Murakami
With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.
Haruki Murakami
Colours shone with exceptional clarity in the rain. The ground was a deep black, the pine branches a brilliant green, the people wrapped in yellow looking like special spirits that were allowed to wander over the earth on rainy mornings only.
Haruki Murakami
The world is an inherently unfair place.
Haruki Murakami
The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?
Haruki Murakami
In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion.
Haruki Murakami
The silence grew deeper, so deep that if you listened carefully you might very well catch the sound of the earth revolving on its axis.
Haruki Murakami
I get irritated, I get upset. Especially when I'm in a hurry. But I see it all as part of our training. To get irritated is to lose our way in life.
Haruki Murakami
You always look so cool, like no matter what happens, it’s got nothing to do with you, but you’re not really like that. In your own way, you’re out there fighting as hard as you can, even if other people can’t tell by looking at you.
Haruki Murakami
If we reverse the outer shell and the essence--in other words, consider the outer shell the essence and the essence only the shell--our lives might be a whole lot easier to understand.
Haruki Murakami
By then running had entered the realm of the metaphysical. First there came the action of running, and accompanying it there was this entity known as me. I run therefore I am.
Haruki Murakami
I am struck by how, except when you're young, you really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don't get that sort of system set by a certain age, you'll lack focus and your life will be out of balance.
