More quotes by Haruki Murakami
It's a terrible thing when a person dies, whatever the circumstances. A hole opens up in the world, and we need to pay the proper respects. If we don't, the hole will never be filled in again.
Haruki Murakami
I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
Haruki Murakami
After all this, I won't start to hate you.
Haruki Murakami
What's nurtured slowly grows well.
Haruki Murakami
Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language.
Haruki Murakami
There had to be something wrong with my life. I should have been born a Yugoslavian shepherd who looked up at the Big Dipper every night.
Haruki Murakami
People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.
Haruki Murakami
If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.
Haruki Murakami
A friend to kill time is a friend sublime.
Haruki Murakami
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know, I don’t feel right unless I’ve got the sea and mountains nearby. People are mostly a product of where they were born and raised. How you think and feel’s always linked to the lay of the land, the temperature. The prevailing winds, even.
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
She was truly a beautiful girl. I could feel a small polished stone sinking through the darkest waters of my heart. All those deep convoluted channels and passageways, and yet she managed to toss her pebble right down to the bottom of it all.
Haruki Murakami
I am struck by how, except when you're young, you really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don't get that sort of system set by a certain age, you'll lack focus and your life will be out of balance.
Haruki Murakami
A story is not something of this world. A real story requires a kind of magical baptism to link the world on this side with the world on the other side.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not so weird to me.
Haruki Murakami
Distance might not solve anything, no matter how far you run.
Haruki Murakami
The rain that fell on the city runs down the dark gutters and empties into the sea without even soaking the ground
Haruki Murakami
What was lost was lost. There was no retrieving it, however you schemed, no returning to how things were, no going back.
Haruki Murakami
They put up with such strenuous training, and where did their thoughts, their hopes and dreams, disappear to? When people pass away, do their thoughts just vanish?
Haruki Murakami
