The whole terrible fight occured in the area of imagination. That is the precise location of our battlefield. It is there, that we experience our victories and defeats.

More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
Haruki Murakami
Never trust a man who carries a handkerchief, I always say. One of many prejudicial rules of thumb.
Haruki Murakami
That's wrong, she declared. Everyone must have one thing that they can excel at. It's just a matter of drawing it out, isn't it? But school doesn't know how to draw it out. It crushes the gift. It's no wonder most people never get to be what they want to be. They just get ground down.
Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
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
Strong and independent? I’m neither. I’m just being pushed along by reality, whether I like it or not.
Haruki Murakami
Good style happens in one of two ways: the writer either has an inborn talent or is willing to work herself to death to get it.
Haruki Murakami
Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me.
Haruki Murakami
Problem is, once I sit at my desk and put all these down on paper. I realize something vital is missing. It doesn't crystallize - no crystals, just pebbles. And I'm not transported anywhere.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.
Haruki Murakami
That’s what love’s all about. You’re the only one having those wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself.
Haruki Murakami
Death leaves cans of shaving cream half-used.
Haruki Murakami
A fortunate author can write maybe twelve novels in his lifetime.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.
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
My grandpa always said asking a question is embarrassing for a moment, but not asking is embarrassing for a lifetime.
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
What was lost was lost. There was no retrieving it, however you schemed, no returning to how things were, no going back.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.
Haruki Murakami
What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.
Haruki Murakami
