It's not me but the world that's deranged.
Haruki Murakami
A theory is a battlefield in your head.
Haruki Murakami
Lots of different ways to live and lots of different ways to die. But in the end that doesn't make a bit of difference. All that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.
Haruki Murakami
My arm was not what she needed, but the arm of someone else. My warmth was not what she needed, but the warmth of someone else.
Haruki Murakami
I began running on an everyday basis after I became a writer. As being a writer requires sitting at a desk for hours a day, without getting some exercise you'd quickly get out of shape and gain weight, I figured.
Haruki Murakami
Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
Haruki Murakami
Have your dream...What you need now more than anything is discipline. Cast off mere words. Words turn into stone. (from Thailand)
Haruki Murakami
I may not be the most likable person in the world, but I try not to upset people.
Haruki Murakami
It is my huge pleasure that my novels are translated into languages that are read among small numbers of people.
Haruki Murakami
An unhealthy soul requires a healthy body.
Haruki Murakami
I’m free, I think. I shut my eyes and think hard and deep about how free I am, but I can’t really understand what it means. All I know is I’m totally alone. All alone in an unfamiliar place, like some solitary explorer who’s lost his compass and his map. Is this what it means to be free? I don’t know, and I give up thinking about it.
Haruki Murakami
What makes us the most normal, said Reiko, is knowing that we're not normal.
Haruki Murakami
The body is not the only target of rape. Violence does not always take a visible form, and not all wounds gush blood.
Haruki Murakami
Life might just be an absurd, even crude, chain of events and nothing more.
Haruki Murakami
Dreaming is the day job of novelists, but sharing our dreams is a still more important task for us. We cannot be novelists without this sense of sharing something.
Haruki Murakami
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Haruki Murakami
I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.
Haruki Murakami
I'd made it back to the land of the living. No matter how boring or mediocre a world it might be, this was it.
Haruki Murakami
If you miss the bus, miss the train, you’d be left behind. So everyone says, let’s get on the train, let’s get on the bus and go faster and get rich... I just didn’t like that kind of lifestyle. I love to read books, to listen to music.
