Haruki Murakami
What matters is deciding in your heart to accept another person completely. When you do that, it is always the first time and the last.

Haruki Murakami
Since I have come to America, I am often asked whether my next novel will be set in America. I don't think it will. I think I will be living in America for some time to come, but while living in America, I would like to write about Japanese society from the outside.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
No matter where i go, i still end up me. What's missing never changes. The scenery may change, but i'm still the same incomplete person. The same missing elements torture me with a hunger that i can never satisfy. I think that lack itself is as close as i'll come to defining myself.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
