More quotes by Haruki Murakami
What do we talk about? Just ordinary things. What happened today, or books we've read, or tomorrow's weather, you know. Don't tell me you're wondering if people jump to their feet and shout stuff like 'It'll rain tomorrow if a polar bear eats the stars tonight!
Haruki Murakami
The unwaking world was as hushed as a deep forest.
Haruki Murakami
I don't know how many good books I still have in me I hope there are another four or five.
Haruki Murakami
I just gave them a little scare. A touch of psychological terror. As Joseph Conrad once wrote, true terror is the kind that men feel towards their imagination. (from Super-frog Saves Tokyo)
Haruki Murakami
People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe the only thing I can definitely say about is this: That’s life. Maybe the only thing we can do is accept it, without really knowing what’s going on.
Haruki Murakami
Is this what it means to go back to square one? Most likely. He had nothing left to lose, other than his life.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.
Haruki Murakami
Never trust a man who carries a handkerchief, I always say. One of many prejudicial rules of thumb.
Haruki Murakami
The fresh smell of coffee soon wafted through the apartment, the smell that separates night from day.
Haruki Murakami
It's just a feeling I have. What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real. My enemy is, among other things, the me inside me.
Haruki Murakami
I closed my own jazz bar so I could be a man who can write novels as I like. I was pleased about that. This pleasure was connected to the pleasure of writing.
Haruki Murakami
All things in my novels are real for me. Some western critics said that Garcia Marquez's novels are magic realism. However, I believe that Marquez must have experienced everything in his novels.
Haruki Murakami
Young people these days don't trust anything at all. They want to be free.
Haruki Murakami
One of these days they'll be making a film where the whole human race gets wiped out in a nuclear war, but everything works out in the end.
Haruki Murakami
Spending plenty of time on something can be the most sophisticated form of revenge.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know what it means to live.
Haruki Murakami
You couldn’t begin to imagine who I am, where I’m going, or what I’m about to do, All of you are trapped here. You can’t go anywhere, forward or back. But I’m not like you. I have work to do. I have a mission to accomplish. And so, with your permission, I shall move ahead.
