More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Knowledge and ability were tools, not things to show off.
Haruki Murakami
For me, writing a novel is like having a dream. Writing a novel lets me intentionally dream while I'm still awake. I can continue yesterday's dream today, something you can't normally do in everyday life.
Haruki Murakami
No one could say how long that life would last. Whatever has form can disappear in an instant.
Haruki Murakami
The light of morning decomposes everything.
Haruki Murakami
it occurred to me what a simple thing reality is, how easy it is to make it work. It's just reality. Just housework. Just a home. Like running a simple machine. Once you learn to run it, it's just a matter of repetition. You push this button and pull that lever. You adjust a gauge, put on the lid, set the timer. The same thing, over and over.
Haruki Murakami
But intolerant,narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host,change form,and continue to thrive. They're a lost cause, and I don't want anyone like that coming in here.
Haruki Murakami
People lose fifty million skin cells every day. The cells get scraped off and turn into invisible dust, and disappear into the air. Maybe we are nothing but skin cells as far as the world is concerned.
Haruki Murakami
I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.

Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us.
Haruki Murakami
Mediocrity's like a spot on a shirt—it never comes off.
Haruki Murakami
So what’s wrong if there happens to be one guy in the world who enjoys trying to understand you?
Haruki Murakami
You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.
Haruki Murakami
Once thing goes wrong, then the whole house of cards collapses. And there's no way you can extricate yourself. Until someone comes along to drag you out.
Haruki Murakami
The most dangerous creature here would have to be me. So maybe I'm just scared of my own shadow.
Haruki Murakami
Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.
Haruki Murakami
I wonder what ants do on rainy days?
Haruki Murakami
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
A state of chronic powerlessness eats away at a person
Haruki Murakami
Mental acuity was never born from comfortable circumstances.
Haruki Murakami
