More quotes by Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
An empty shell. Those were the first words that sprang to mind. .... Something incredibly important - .. - had disappeared from Miu for good. Leaving behind not life, but its absence
Haruki Murakami
But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
Loneliness becomes an acid that eats away at you.
Haruki Murakami
When the fire goes out, you'll start feeling the cold. You'll wake up whether you want to or not.
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
The good thing about writing book is that you can dream while you are awake.
Haruki Murakami
But if you peeled away the ornamental egos that she had built, there was only an abyss of nothingness and the intense thirst that came with it.
Haruki Murakami
