Some things, you know, if you say them, it makes them not true?
Haruki Murakami
Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
Haruki Murakami
My face, my self, what would they mean to anybody? Just another stiff. So this self of mine passes some other's self on the street - what do we have to say to each other? Hey there! Hi ya!That's about it. Nobody raises a hand. No one turns around to take another look.
Haruki Murakami
It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive.
Haruki Murakami
If you do anything out of the ordinary, you can be sure someone, somewhere, will get upset.
Haruki Murakami
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Haruki Murakami
It's true that at the time I was fond of Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan, and it was from them that I learned about this kind of simple, swift-paced style, but the main reason for the style of my first novel is that I simply did not have the time to write sustained prose.
Haruki Murakami
There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.
Haruki Murakami
She was a keen observer, a precise user of language, sharp-tongued and funny. She could stir your emotions. Yes, really, that's what she was so good at - stirring people's emotions, moving you. And she knew she had this power...I only realized later. At the time, I had no idea what she was doing to me.
Haruki Murakami
I may not be the most likable person in the world, but I try not to upset people.
Haruki Murakami
The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts.
Haruki Murakami
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
Haruki Murakami
In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment.
Haruki Murakami
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
Haruki Murakami
I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.
Haruki Murakami
Don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality!
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 feel like I've swallowed a cloudy sky
Haruki Murakami
Confidence as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read I loved to listen to music and I love cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.
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
