More quotes by Haruki Murakami
As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.
Haruki Murakami
For novelists or musicians, if they really want to create something, they need to go downstairs and find a passage to get into the second basement. What I want to do is go down there, but still stay sane.
Haruki Murakami
Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you--you should control them.
Haruki Murakami
If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one decent song. The rest is mass-produced garbage
Haruki Murakami
I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.
Haruki Murakami
If they invent a car that runs on stupid jokes, you could go far.
Haruki Murakami
Concentration is one of the happiest things in my life.
Haruki Murakami
For me, writing a novel is like having a dream. Writing a novel lets me intentionally dream while I'm still awake. I can continue yesterday's dream today, something you can't normally do in everyday life.
Haruki Murakami
This person, this self, this me, finally, was made somewhere else. Everything had come from somewhere else, and it would all go somewhere else. I was nothing but a pathway for the person known as me.
Haruki Murakami
Irrepressible curiosity vied with an instinctive fear.
Haruki Murakami
I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.
Haruki Murakami
There's a special feeling you get on a veranda that you just can't get anywhere else.
Haruki Murakami
As long as an individual's alive, he will undergo experience in some form or other, and those experiences are stored up instant by instant. To stop experiencin' is to die.
Haruki Murakami
I move, therefore I am.
Haruki Murakami
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
I didn't feel like I was in my own body my body was just a lonely, temporary container I happened to be borrowing.
Haruki Murakami
When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.
Haruki Murakami
Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching me.
Haruki Murakami
Killing time is not an easy job.
Haruki Murakami
We knew exactly what we wanted in each other. And even so, it ended. One day it stopped, as if the film simply slipped off the reel.
Haruki Murakami
