Haruki Murakami
Image
With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.
Haruki Murakami
Image
I never plan. I never know what the next page is going to be..... But that's the fun of writing a novel or a story, because I don't know what's going to happen next.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.
