More quotes by Haruki Murakami
You’re really cute, Midori,” I corrected myself. “What do you mean really cute?” “So cute the mountains crumble and the oceans dry up.
Haruki Murakami
The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
You're walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, 'Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?' So you and the bear spend the whole day in each other's arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?
Haruki Murakami
If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.

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
Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.
Haruki Murakami
Like it or not, it's the society we live in. Even the standard of right and wrong has been subdivided, made sophisticated. Within good, there's fashionable good and unfashionable good, and ditto for bad. Within fashionable good, there's formal and then there's casual there's hip, there's cool, there's trendy, there's snobbish. Mix 'n' match.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not so weird to 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
At least he never walked.
Haruki Murakami
I probably still haven’t completely adapted to the world. I don’t know, I feel like this isn’t the real world. The people, the scene: they just don’t seem real to me.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.
Haruki Murakami
Whenever I write a novel, music just sort of naturally slips in (much like cats do, I suppose).
Haruki Murakami
Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
Haruki Murakami
It was a small room with dim light coming in the window, reminiscent of old Polish films.
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes when I think of life, I feel like a piece of driftwood washed up on shore.
Haruki Murakami
