More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Beyond the window, some kind of small, black thing shot across the sky. A bird, possibly. Or it might have been someone's soul being blown to the far side of the world.
Haruki Murakami
As long as possible, I would really like to complete one marathon per year. Though my time has been slowing down as I get older, it has become a very important part of my life.
Haruki Murakami
Two-thirds of earth's surface is ocean, and all we can see with the naked eye is the surface.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's going to win all the time. On the highway of life you can't always be in the fast lane.
Haruki Murakami
For a long time, she held a special place in my heart. I kept this special place just for her, like a Reserved sign on a quiet corner table in a restaurant. Despite the fact that I was sure I'd never see her again.
Haruki Murakami
It takes years to build up, it takes moments to destroy.
Haruki Murakami
The most important thing we learn at school is the fact that the most important things can't be learned at school.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
If they invent a car that runs on stupid jokes, you could go far.
Haruki Murakami
Most human activities are predicated on the assumption that life goes on. If you take that premise away, what is there left?
Haruki Murakami
The things she most wanted to tell him would lose their meaning the moment she put them into words.
Haruki Murakami
I wondered if she was trying to convey something to me, something she could not put into words - something prior to words that she could not grasp within herself and which therefore had no hope of ever turning into words.
Haruki Murakami
I feel like I've swallowed a cloudy sky
Haruki Murakami
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
Haruki Murakami
Since I'm a novelist I'm the opposite of you - I believe that what's most important is what cannot be measured. I'm not denying your way of thinking, but the greater part of people's lives consist of things that are unmeasurable, and trying to change all these to something measurable is realistically impossible.
Haruki Murakami
I closed my eyes and listened carefully for the descendants of Sputnik, even now circling the earth, gravity their only tie to the planet. Lonely metal souls in the unimpeded darkness of space, they meet, pass each other, and part, never to meet again. No words passing between them. No promises to keep.
Haruki Murakami
Where I went in my travels, it's impossible for me to recall. I remember the sights and sounds and smells clearly enough, but the names of the towns are gone, as well as any sense of the order in which I traveled from place to place.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow.
Haruki Murakami
For a while is a phrase whose length can't be measured.At least by the person who's waiting.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.
Haruki Murakami
