Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts.

More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Is this what it means to go back to square one? Most likely. He had nothing left to lose, other than his life.
Haruki Murakami
Do you know what ‘Sputnik’ means in Russian? ‘Travelling companion’. I looked it up in a dictionary not long ago. Kind of a strange coincidence if you think about it. I wonder why the Russians gave their satellite that strange name. It’s just a poor little lump of metal, spinning around the Earth.
Haruki Murakami
I'm often asked what I think about as I run. Usually the people who ask this have never run long distances themselves. I always ponder the question. What exactly do I think about when I'm running? I don't have a clue.
Haruki Murakami
When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.
Haruki Murakami
For novelists or musicians, if they really want to create something, they need to go downstairs and find a passage to get into the second basement. What I want to do is go down there, but still stay sane.
Haruki Murakami
Such wounds to the heart will probably never heal. But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.
Haruki Murakami
Everything. Things you lost. Things you’re gonna lose. Everything. Here’s where it all ties together.
Haruki Murakami
Exerting yourself to the limit over and over again, that is the essence of running. Running is painful, but the pain doesn't leave me, I can take care of it. That agrees with my mentality.
Haruki Murakami
Become like a sheet of blotting paper and soak it all in. Later on you can figure out what to keep and what to unload.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know what it means to live.
Haruki Murakami
Once a guy starts using a wig, he has to keep using one. It's, like, his fate. That's why wig makers make such huge profits. I hate to say it, but they're like drug dealers.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.
Haruki Murakami
I wasn't particularly afraid of death itself. As Shakespeare said, die this year and you don't have to die the next.
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
Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
Haruki Murakami
I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.
Haruki Murakami
People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.
Haruki Murakami
Still, in the end, we all die just the same.
Haruki Murakami
I am here, alone, at the end of the world. I reach out and touch nothing.”.
Haruki Murakami
I can be hurt, you know. I can get as exhausted as anybody else. I can feel so bad I want to cry, too.
Haruki Murakami
