More quotes by Haruki Murakami
You are 27 or 28 right? It is very tough to live at that age. When nothing is sure. I have sympathy with you.
Haruki Murakami
I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.
Haruki Murakami
This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there.
Haruki Murakami
Everybody has to start somewhere. You have your whole future ahead of you. Perfection doesn't happen right away.
Haruki Murakami
Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.
Haruki Murakami
George Orwell is half journalist, half fiction writer. I'm 100 percent fiction writer... I don't want to write messages. I want to write good stories. I think of myself as a political person, but I don't state my political messages to anybody.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.
Haruki Murakami
People want to be bowled over by something special. Nine times out of ten you might strike out, but that tenth time, that peak experience, is what people want. That's what can move the world. That's art.
Haruki Murakami
What do you think? I'm not a starfish or a pepper tree. I'm a living, breathing human being. Of course I've been in love.
Haruki Murakami
Life: I'll never understand it.
Haruki Murakami
Cell phones are so convenient that they're an inconvenience.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow.
Haruki Murakami
Why do people have to build such depressing places? I'm not saying that every nook and cranny of the world has to be beautiful, but does it have to be this ugly?
Haruki Murakami
It was a small room with dim light coming in the window, reminiscent of old Polish films.
Haruki Murakami
This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.
Haruki Murakami
You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.
Haruki Murakami
I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.
Haruki Murakami
There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.
Haruki Murakami
Certain kinds of knowledge rob people of their sleep.
Haruki Murakami
In Japan they prefer the realistic style. They like answers and conclusions, but my stories have none. I want to leave them wide open to every possibility. I think my readers understand that openness.
Haruki Murakami
