Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
I wonder what ants do on rainy days?
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
When the fire goes out, you'll start feeling the cold. You'll wake up whether you want to or not.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life.
Haruki Murakami
I don't know how many good books I still have in me I hope there are another four or five.
Haruki Murakami
I was reduced to pure concept. My flesh had dissolved my form had dissipated. I floated in space. Liberated of my corporeal being, but without dispensation to go anywhere else.I was adrift in the void. Somewhere across the fine line separating nightmare from reality.
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
With the advent of winter, her eyes seemed to take on a greater transparency, a transparency that lead nowhere. Occassionally, for no particular reason, Naoko would gaze into my eyes as if searching for something. Each time I was filled with odd sensations of lonliness and inadequecy.
Haruki Murakami
I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.
Haruki Murakami
